Step 3) Click on the name of the system your computer or laptop is using. If you are using an Apple product, it will be Skype for Mac. If you are using any other type of laptop or computer, it will probably be Skype for Windows.
how to download skype on laptop
I have an HP laptop, HP 250 G4. It came with Windows 8.1 and Skype but I've now upgraded it to Windows 10. The version of Skype that came with the laptop was so old that it didn't work at all with some sort of message saying that the latest version had to be downloaded and installed as it couldn't automatically update itself.
My current version of Skype is 7.18.0.109. Before that I was using 7.17.something, and before that 7.something. I will update it as soon as I am aware that there is a later version available. I have always had this problem on this laptop, even when running Windows 8.1 but I have only recently realised the trigger.
When I use Skype on the laptop the sound is fine unless any other sound plays, including system sounds caused by Skype. After the other sound stops the Skype sound becomes slow and distorted. If I generate another system sound, the Skype sound clears up until the other sound stops again. When the other person stops speaking, the sound will resynchronise itself. If they say a long farewell then hang up, their final words get cut off.
Completely exiting from Skype and restarting it usually clears up the problem. If the laptop is left alone for a few hours without restarting Skype the sound is OK on the next call. Otherwise, hanging up and immediately re-establishing the connection doesn't help.
I've tried asking on the Skype community but no-one answers. I had the same problem before upgrading to Windows 10 and Skype is the latest version available. No other program suffers from distorted sound, even at the same time as Skype is struggling. The only audio I'm using that didn't come with the laptop is a pair of earphones with a 3.5mm plug.
this happened to me exactly the same way, BUT.... there is a simple solution:as it is linked to the windows system sounds (as soon as one of those sounds goes on, skype sound continue distorted and video also ...), simply configure it as "no sounds" ... problem solved. your skype conversations will go on smoothly, no distorsions anymore ;-)
I disconnected my buds from my laptop (Windows 10) and reconnected it (had to re-pair coz of some issue with my phone). Noticed that since then, I cannot use the button on the left earbud to mute/unmute on any of the calls on Teams, Zoom or Skype when using the computer audio connection. I was able to do this before. Now all it does is toggle Hearthrough... So basically it is not considering the computer calls as the calls on a phone. And yes I know that the earbuds aren't technically supported for computers. But as I had this control before but not now, it seems weird. Anyone else familiar with this issue?
What we see is within VDI some users are not able to search for co workers, they have to fill inn hole email adress to reach them. Locally on their laptops they are able to type the two/three first letters and then skype pop up suggestions...
But i see that my appvolumes maybe a playing with me here. I unmounted an appstack for a user yesterday, and then it seems that search in skype are fine, and skype do not pop up in front every now and then..
Specifically, how do I get audacity to pick up the conversation/ audio that comes through the computer if I have headphones hooked up as well? Audacity is picking up what I say into the mic but not audio form the laptop.
'Ongeldig' meaning 'Illegal' in Dutch. The error message appears not right after I start skype, but only after I start the camera test in skype. When I start Cheese this way instead of Skype, I get no message, but my camera image is still upside down :-(

My laptop is the same as yours. I followed htorque's solution, the only difference is that when you call skype the command LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype doesn't work because the folders are different.

Instead, opt for a tablet or a laptop which you can prop up on a table and not touch it. Choose a location where the backdrop is minimal (no distractions), the light is flattering and you won't have something sticking out the top or side of your head.
Crop the scene -- move the tablet/laptop around so you are close to it and don't end up looking like a small pinhead in the middle of a huge screen. Aim for a nice tight shot in which you showcase your head and shoulders and not much else. Double check the microphone to make sure it's working.
