Hello Fellow vMixer's,

Ran into a new issue with Skype today. When you go Full Screen in Skype and you ALT+TAB to get back to vMix, Skype no longer stays Full Screen.

I am bringing Skype directly in vMix on the same computer.

Both Windows 7 and 8.

Anyone else have this problem? And have you come up with a workaround when using Skype and vMix on the same computer?

Cheers,

~George

Hello All,

Maybe I am going brain dead sitting in this 9x11 all day.

In Windows 7 (an maybe I undone this by accident) if you lock the Windows Task Bar you should have access to vMix after expanding the Skype window to Full Screen without using ALT+TAB.

In Windows 8.1 no such luck. Even after locking the Task Bar I still was unable to access vMix when Skype in Full Screen. I tried several times.

The only recourse in Windows 8.1 is to adjust your Skype callers input window (ZOOM) with the Position option within the input window. When you ZOOM X and Y, do so by the same amount which should give you the proper Y and X parameters.

Anyone else have a workaround please let us know.
