Screensharing??

All of a sudden i can´t share my screen anymore. Skype says i have to pay for it?? Are you kidding me? You can´t just make something cost that has been free for years already. I new this was gonna happen when they sold Skype :sad:  That is so unSwedish.

Re: Screensharing??

Are you trying to use Share Screen in a Group Call?

So everything in Sweden is free?  Whew.  I'm glad I don't have to try to make a living there.  :wink:

 

With the current version of Skype you can still screen share without paying, just not with your webcam video also running.

 

Turn off your webcam before trying to share your screen and you shouldn't get that prompt saying you need Premium.

Re: Screensharing??

Why you have to do it now is Skype decided to make screen sharing with webcam video on a feature of a Premium subscription.    It doesn't bother me any.  :happy:
