Miniature video window always on top - how to turn it on?

[adashko]

Hey, Default in Skype, during the conversation, in the upper right corner we can see miniature video window which is always on top - it's really helpful for me when talking and surfing the web in the same time.

Last day, someone turned it off, and now i don't know how to switch it back on.

Can someone help me, please?

If you close the small pop-out window (now it is called “call control window”), the only way to re-establish this window is by re-starting the call. However, you can revert to the “old” pop-out window by doing this:

Go to Tools -> Options -> Call settings -> Show advanced options. Uncheck the option: “Show call controls when Skype is in the background”. However, you will now have to manually activate the pop-out window using the monitor icon on the call toolbar.

Why is the simplest actions in Skype unneccessarily obtuse?

if you right click on the full screen button it has a pop out option.

Woops...there was another thread on here asking a similar question though nobody had resolved it, creating a false lead. Was going to fix it, but accidentally posted to this source. Disregard please.

Hey, I have the same problem...

Do you have to have the 'updated' skype to get into these options, because I have the 2nd newest Skype and I cannot see the option

PS: What are Kudos?

PPS:I would like to get some

PPPSls give me Kudos!
