Video Call Drops in the Middle of Conversation in Skype

Dear,

Which version of Skype you are using? If you are using the older version, then upgrade it to the latest version. You can also download the latest version from www.skype.com

The video call drop down could be for slow internet connection. For testing the connection between you and another user can be measured with test speed button. But for a better conversation you have to be sure that you both have a good speedy internet connection. Before running Skype close another program like your web browser, messenger or any program run with internet connection.

I think these tips will work for you.

Thank you

Video Call Drops in the Middle of Conversation in Skype

 

Hello dear,

This is very easy to understand. When you make a video call, it requires a lot of connection speed, which means you have to get a high speed internet connection. If your connection is slow, it will drop the call that you have made.

There is also another problem that might be happening. Check your installed version. It seems that you are using an outdated version of Skype. Go to this link and download the official version of Skype, and enjoy unlimited calls.

I hope this will help you. Thanks.

Video Call Drops in the Middle of Conversation in Skype

Since Skype depends on your internet connection for communication, one main reason why a call drops sometimes is because of your internet connection. This can happen especially if you are using a wireless broadband internet like LTE. Wireless internet can be very unstable sometimes and you will have varying speeds. Another possible reason why a call suddenly drops is your range from your router.

If you are using Skype on your Android phone and you are very far from your router, your phone will receive very weak Wi-Fi signal. When the Wi-Fi signal gets very thin, it can cause the internet connection to get interrupted and that’s how a call gets dropped. The solution is to move closer to the router.
