Skype for Windows mobile query

When you do a video call (from PC), usually the remote users video should be full screen and your own video will be a tile/small screen in the bottom corner

 

But from windows mobile it seems the other way round? The remote users video appears as a small tile in the bottom corner – why?

Re: Skype for Windows mobile query

It's one of the known bugs. Can you tell us which device and which Windows Phone OS version you are using?

I recommend to download the latest Skype and search first.
To get the most out of Skype I recommend Skype Premium.

This happens if you use the rear camera.

Which is the only camera on all 1st Gen Windows Phones hence why it needs to be fixed.

Yes, you are right. But for 2nd Gen Windows Phones it is perfect to see, what you showing to your mate. So this need to be fixed for 1st Gen Windows Phones only :wink:

Re: Skype for Windows mobile query

i am using HTC Mozart (without a front facing camera) so maybe this is the reason.
