4-20 Chapter 4: Using the Eee PC
Video Conferencing
Skype enables users to make free calls to other Skype users or
cheaper calls to landlines or mobile phones with Internet access.
It also offers instant messaging and video conferencing function,
which users can use to chat online.
To start using Skype application
1. Double-click the Skype icon on the desktop.
2. Enter your Skype name and other information to create a new
Skype account. If you have already had a Skype account, click
Cancel to sign in directly.
3. Enter your Skype Name and Password in the box and click
Sign in.
4. You can make a video phone call now.
Ensure that you have checked the Start my video automatically
when I am in a call check box in Video Settings.
Ensure that Beam Forming in the Microphone tab in Realtek
HD Audio Manager is enabled. (Beam Forming and Acoustic
Echo Cancellation are enabled by default.) Doing so eliminates
surrounding noise interferences and enhances the quality of the
call. To obtain the best voice quality, we recommend you speak
right in front of the microphone.
