Microsoft confirmed that the latest Skype insider builds for desktop are affected by microphone or camera issues. The company added that its engineers are working on fixing these bugs as soon as possible.
Hi Skype Insiders,
if you are experiencing problems with your camera or microphone when using the latest Skype Insider builds on desktop, please report a problem through the app. This will helps us resolve these problems as quickly as possible. Thanks!
So, at least we know that Microsoft is aware of these problems and a fix is coming.
We’ve written extensively on Skype audio issues. Check out this guide for more information.
As expected, many Skype insiders confirmed they encountered the same issues.
One user reported the following:
I can’t make a phone call using my desktop microphone. What shall I do?
So, the update made Skype unusable to those who want to make phone calls via the app. The issues also appeared when users tried to use the camera on Skype:
I can’t get the webcam to connect with my Skype call. the camera is working ok.
Even if the camera is working fine on other apps, Insiders can’t use it on Skype.
