I held my own skype chat

Question

Thanks to all people I have spoken to on Skype recently but mainly Heidita as she gave me some technical advice yesterday

The Skype session I set up for my fellow students worked Only 3 of us turned up at the allotted time and my mike was set so quiet neither of the others could hear me but we managed to introduce ourselves and talk a little about where we live..

I am sure our accents were appalling and our grammar was pretty dreadful but we spoke, it is a start.

We are going to meet again next week and this time I will know how to sort my mike out and the other two know how to get the IM screen back when it disappears.

Oops did I have typos? My eyes are tired after using skype. - MaryMcc, Jul 27, 2011

You spelled "Heidita" wrong in the title ;) So Goyo fixed it. - SonrisaDelSol, Jul 27, 2011

Wilbur, have you tried adjusting the gain on your microphone? - 0074b507, Jul 27, 2011

Yes, towards the end I noticed a message telling me my mic was very quiet, all sorted now. I just wish I had seen it earlier. - MaryMcc, Jul 27, 2011

Whoa!!!!!!................let's not let that slip by unnoticed.

I'm fairly positive that misspelling the Queen's name calls for capital punishment in the forum rules. That's right up there with the commandment concerning His name.

While I check, decide on your preference:

I don't know which OS or version that you are using, but you might want to find a microphone configuration setting (Sounds) and try boosting the gain on the microphone if others are having a hard time hearing you.

jejeje, qué malo, pero tienes razon, casi es traición - 00494d19, Jul 27, 2011

Answer 2

Thanks qfreed, I think I will go for the guillotine, I think it is quick and relatively painless.

I did manage to sort the mic out, there was a message at the top of the page telling me it was too quiet I clicked it and got to a page to adjust it. The message didn't appear at first, or I just didn't see it maybe. Never mind it is OK now.

Glad to hear it. - 0074b507, Jul 27, 2011

Answer 3

You are so good at those banners. :) - MaryMcc, Jul 27, 2011

Thanks! :) - SonrisaDelSol, Jul 27, 2011

Last time I heard she was only up to 19, so I'm surprised that you are old enough to write. - 0074b507, Jul 27, 2011

¿Qué? - SonrisaDelSol, Jul 27, 2011

The last time I heard Heidita acknowledge her age she was 19 (up from 18 after several years)....so if she is your mamá.... - 0074b507, Jul 27, 2011

Oh! Jajajajajaja!! Well, you know... - SonrisaDelSol, Jul 27, 2011

Answer 4

MLucie I would love to chat to you but the skype chat I organised was for students on my Open University course, only beginners level, and using the tutorial preparation sheets as a guide. I reckon you would be pretty bored.

If you let Heidita have your skype ID, send her a PM, she can add you to the Saturday night Skype Chats on here and at your level.

Already got if wil, lucie is intermediate level, proficient speaker indeed;) - 00494d19, Jul 28, 2011

I thought so, I looked at her profile, we would bore her to tears struggling to say we live in a flat, or house. - MaryMcc, Jul 28, 2011
