Anyone who has enjoyed Skype video calls and have active accounts is vulnerable to Skype unauthorized charges. If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve just gone through your credit card statement or PayPal account and have no idea why you’re being charged for something you have no memory of using.

There are many possible reasons for Skype unauthorized charges to pop up in your account. It’s understandable for you to be alarmed, but keep your wits about you when this happens. A little detective work on your part can reveal the culprit.

Here’s how to trace where those charges come from:

1. Log in to your Skype account and click on Billing and payments.
2. Next, go over your purchase history on Skype and see if you have Auto-recharge set up on your account. Auto-recharge happens if you have purchased Skype credits in the past. What it does is top-up your Skype Credit when it dips below a certain amount.
3. If the above is the case, you can opt to cancel Auto-recharge.
4. Have you signed up for a subscription? Subscriptions are automatically renewed and you get billed. Simply cancel your subscription to prevent recurring payments.

What if the above scenario is not the case?

There are many other possible reasons why you have unauthorized charges. It could be you used a public computer to log on to your Skype account and forgot to log off. Anyone could have accessed your account and you end up footing the bill.

It’s also possible your account was hacked, your credit card may have been used fraudulently in which case you must contact your card issuer immediately, or you may have left your Skype account open on the family computer and family members might have unknowingly racked up charges.

Possible solutions to keep your Skype account safe is to never save passwords on shared computers, make sure you always log off Skype, and familiarize yourself with related charges when you use Skype chats and video calls.

If you still suspect that foul play happened, you can contact Skype customer service to help you clear the air and ensure you only get quality service from Skype.

PS: Maximize your Skype experience by using Supertintin. It’s a third party app that allows you to record and save video calls over Skype. That way, you’ll have an easier time sleuthing around if something in your account doesn’t look right.

The post What To Do When Faced With Skype Unauthorized Charges appeared first on Supertintin Blog.

Using Skype as a form of communication with your family, friends, and clients is very useful. But what if one time, you suspect that your Skype account hijacked and used your Skype name and password without your permission? But first, here are some of the four possible reasons why it happened.

The first possible reason is thru social engineering. This is when someone watched behind your back while you are signing in to Skype in a public place, and saw you typing your Skype name and password. Another reason is when you become a victim of phishing or spoofing, where someone pretended to be from Skype and sends you an email or text, asking for your Skype account details.

Downloading malicious code from unknown sources can also be a reason, while last one is when there is a security hole that allows anyone to change your password, by knowing your email address only. Back in November 2012, Skype admitted a similar case and has corrected the problem.

So, what if you think that someone has taken over your Skype account details? The first thing that you should do is to remove any malicious software or viruses from your laptop, tablet, or PC. Next, you should also change your Skype password immediately.

If your Skype account has already been suspended, you can still recover your account by visiting the Skype Online resolution center, or by contacting the Skype Customer Service. You will be asked about some details of yourself and your Skype account.

And since Skype has the capability to detect if your account has a potential of becoming a victim of fraudulent activity, Skype will temporarily suspend your account. In this case, you also do the same procedure as mentioned above, and Skype will be happy to help you recover your account.

Once your account has been recovered, you can continue making video calls. And if you want to record them for your future needs, you can use Supertintin, a reliable Skype video recorder that is safe and easy to download.

Skype credit has a lot of uses. For one thing, you can use it to make calls to landlines and mobiles across the world. Skype credit can also help you connect to Wifi hotspots all over the world through Skype Wifi.

You can buy Skype credit through your Skype account and pay for it through PayPal, Credit cards and many more.

But what do you do when your newly purchased credit doesn’t appear on your account?

After purchasing your Skype credit, it usually takes only a few minutes for it to appear on your balance, sometimes longer. Here is what you should do in case it doesn’t appear after purchase:

• Check if it has been delivered. Go to your account and view show purchase history. Here, you can see the order status (i.e. pending, delivered etc.) and order number.
• Check if Skype Balance is positive. The page may just need to reload. Sign out of your account and sign back in. You should remember that closing the application and opening it again is not the same as signing out. It won’t exactly refresh your account.
• Attempt a call. Usually, when your purchased credit doesn’t show up right away, a call can force it to update. If it has been delivered, your call will connect, and your balance will update.

Note: If you purchased a subscription to call one or more countries, this won’t show up on Skype Balance. Instead, it will display as a delivered order in your account.

While you use your credits to make those phone calls, why not preserve the moment by recording Skype calls? A good Skype recorder like Supertintin will allow you to record video calls by capturing original media data while making sure there is no data loss.

The post How to Check Your Skype Credit Purchase appeared first on Supertintin Blog.

For example, if you bought £20 of Skype credits for the first time, £20 of credits will automatically be topped up to your account when it goes below the minimum amount. The good thing though is that you can manually change the auto recharge amount.

If you want to disable Skype auto-recharge, you can do it manually. You just have to:

1. Sign in to your account.
2. Go to Account details section and click Billing and Payments.
3. Click the disable button.

Subscription auto-renew is also set on default. If you want to cancel a subscription, all you need to do is:

1. Sign in to your account. On the left side of the page, click the subscriptions button.
2. On the subscriptions page, click Settings beside the subscription you want to cancel.
3. Click cancel subscription.
4. A confirmation page will pop out. Confirm to cancel.

You have to remember though that even after you cancel your subscription, it will still remain active until its expiry date. So if you cancel a 5-month subscription on the third month, your subscription will still remain active for 2 more months.

If you want to get you money back, you have to ask for refund within 15 days of purchasing your Skype Credits. You can only ask for a refund if you haven’t used your credits.

To request for a refund:

1. Click this link. Sign in to your account.
2. Choose Payments in the Choose a help topic section. Click Refund Requests under Choose a related problem section.
3. Click the Continue support request button at the bottom of the page.
4. Choose from either email support or chat support.

If there are any more problems regarding your refund, you can always contact Skype Customer Service.

PS: Did you know that you can use a Skype recorder to record important conversations. Supertintin is a safe, easy, and powerful tool that lets you record Skype video calls or any conversation for that matter.

The post Skype Refund as Easy as 1-2-3 appeared first on Supertintin Blog.

More often than not, we tend to forget some of the things that we actually created or the things that we set up ourselves. Usually this happens with online accounts and other online stuff that require a username and password.

One of the best examples for this issue is your Skype log in. Just like any other program, application or online site that requires username and password, there are a lot of instances when we forget our Skype password, maybe due to multiple accounts, many related log ins using one email address or sometimes the username and password you have created is really hard to remember.

Let’s say that you are a business person and you do all your transactions online (e.g. online business meeting, client communication, overseas calls, etc.), and what you usually do is you record Skype calls and you record Skype video calls for your business reference and official records. One time due to a long day of work and a lot of toggling and changing of program, application or online sites you forget your username and password for Skype.

Usually, you will follow the “Forgotten your Password?” path to change your password. With entering your primary email address or the email address that you used to create a Skype account, they will be sending you a temporary code for you to use to be able to change your forgotten password.

But what if the email address that you used to register or create an account with Skype no longer exists or is no longer functioning? What will you do? And what if you have multiple Skype accounts that is linked to only one email address and you would like to change the password for it? What will you do?

If the email address that you have used for your Skype account is no longer active what you can do is to contact their customer service at once so that they can register the current email address that you are using to your Skype account. In case password reset is needed all the information will be emailed to the newly registered email address. Same goes as with multiple accounts registered using one email address. Skype customer service will help you sort things out.

To avoid all the hassle and frustration, here are some simple tips to help you save, remember and easily create and retrieve your Skype password.

Tip 1.  Always remember to write your newly created account user ID and password on a piece of paper. If you do not use paper for reminders anymore, you can also create a note file on your computer containing all your user ID’s and password.

Tip 2. Post the paper nearest to your computer so that you will always remember or you will not have a hard time looking for it.

Tip 3.  Always make sure that you have a back up storage for your credentials like your email address, user ID and passwords on your computer or written down on a paper, notebook or organizer.
** This is to avoid losing important information in case your computer’s hard drive gets corrupted or when you lose some important documents at home due to natural disasters or even misplacing them.

Tip 4. On creating your Skype password and avoiding it to be hacked, make sure it:

• Contains a minimum of 6 characters
• Contains a maximum of 20 characters
• Contains no space/s in between
• Use a combination of letters and numbers (e.g. yournameMMDDYYY)
• Do not include your Skype username on any part of your password (e.g. USERNAME: DRJONESJONES – PASSWORD: drjonesjones123.
• Your password should not also contain the following alphabetical and numeric combination

• 1234
• 4321
• Qwerty
• Test
• Skype
• Password
• Abc123
• 123abc
• Letmein
• Thisisme
• 5678
• asdfgh

We hope that these tips will make your Skype life easier. Just make sure to follow all the steps and everything will come easy from there.

Handling a number of functions plus a few apps to amplify your iPad experience, the iPad has proven to give its users the satisfaction they deserve. Now, your iPad can function as a communication device by allowing you to make calls with the use of a Bluetooth headset.

Making Skype on iPad calls via Bluetooth headset

Calling through your Skype on iPad can be used with a few of applications such as Facetime, Skype and Google Voice. Using Skype over the 2 other applications will give you a better outcome. If you decide to make your calls via Skype, your Bluetooth headset will be enabled automatically and shall produce high quality calls from both ends. Also, you can have access over your Skype contacts and make video calls or place calls to traditional landlines by using a paid account, which is an added bonus.

However, using a Bluetooth headset to answer calls from any of the applications listed above may not be possible. Still, this is a better idea than holding your iPad through your ear, which makes you look like a weirdo or talking through speaker mode where everyone around you can hear your conversation.

For the procedure, it is different with each platform and their “how to’s” are listed below,

Skype has revolutionized communication for people around the world with its free voice chats, video calls and conference video calls.

However, one thing that’s quite cumbersome with Skype is that it plays all the sounds that your computer microphone picks up. Sometimes, the background noise is even louder than your own voice.

Of course, you can always get a headset with a microphone which noise levels could be adjusted. There is a way to lessen the noise in Skype voice chats and video calls. Follow these simple steps:

1. Go to your desktop and right-click the sound icon (the one that looks like speakers) and select “Recording Devices”.

2. Click the default microphone of the computer, then the Properties button, then the “Levels” tab.

3. Check the bar that says “Microphone Boost”. Make sure that the tab is all the way to the left to disable it. This decreases your microphone’s sensitivity to background noise.  Click the “OK” button to save your new settings.

4. If you have Realtek HD Audio Manager, open this up as well from your computer tray by right clicking it and selecting ” sound manager”.

5. Click the Microphone Tab, and the Microphone Boost button (the one on the right of the recording volume slide bar). Make sure it’s set at 0 decibels. You can also choose to click the Noise Suppression button, which also helps reduce background noise for your microphone.

Once all these changes are made, you can now enjoy a background-noise-free video call and chat, which is what you need when you want to record Skype calls or Skype videos.

Skype doesn’t have a built-in recorder, but there is SuperTintin, which is the most reliable recording software for Skype calls. It’s not based on screen-capture technology, which means it directly records your video calls and voice chats without interrupting the call or changing the quality of the call. Check it out and enjoy high quality recorded calls with SuperTinTin.

Linking accounts has been one of the trends nowadays when it comes to various applications. It makes it easier for you to reach your friends and other contacts every time you use an app. The same thing happens when your Microsoft and Facebook accounts are linked to your Skype. However, sometimes our preferences changes and we don’t want synchronization of contacts. Good thing you can always unlink accounts anytime you want to.

Here’s a step-by-step instructions on how to unlink accounts in Skype.

Step 1: Log-in to your Skype.

Step 2: Click on the ‘Skype’ tab then select ‘Account’.

Step 3: The page takes time to load so just wait a few seconds. You will find a number of selections at the lower left. Now click on ‘Profile details’.

Step 4: A separate page will be loaded in your browser. Once your Profile page has been loaded, click on the left arrow beside ‘Profile’.

Step 5: Then select ‘Account Settings’ below Account details.

Step 6: The Account Settings page will show you whether your Microsoft or Facebook accounts are linked. To unlink, just click ‘Unlink’, then an information window will open. If you agree, select ‘Continue’ to proceed with the unlinking.

When the accounts are successfully unlinked, you will find a confirmation message at the top of the page.

For those of you who have purchased Skype products before linking your Skype to your Microsoft or Facebook account, you’ll have access to use them when you unlink accounts by logging in to Skype using the Skype account you purchased the products for.

If you need to do something really important but want to save time, money, effort and resources, using Skype might be the solution.  This works for professors who need to do a lecture or motivational speakers imparting a speech, talk or symposium.

Skype video calling lets you be there without actually being there.  You don’t actually have to be in front of an audience to make public speaking happen.  Make your speech right in the comforts of your own home or office or any venue of your choice.  Skype gives you access to audiences in remote locations.

Remember that even if you don’t personally see your audience, you have to be equipped and prepared with your presentation.  Here are a few tips that will keep you abreast.

Do a light and sound check.  Check your lighting, sound, internet connection, computer, camera and microphones.

Choose an appropriate background.  The entire appearance matters. Try back drops with themes like nature or geometrical prints.  It all depends on the topic of your presentation and the mood that you want to convey to your audience.

Practice makes perfect. Avoid setbacks and be totally prepared for this speech.  Do dry runs with your team to avoid technical difficulty.

Dress to impress and look credible.  Wear something formal, not too casual or laid-back. Fix your hair too.

Make eye contact.  Your audience must feel that you are actually talking to them.

Tip:  Position your camera slightly above you looking down at a distance as if looking at them face-to-face.  That’s about 1 ½ to 3 feet away.  Your “idiot board” should be at eye level and only glance at them once in a while.

Have a team to assist you.  On your venue, you probably need a tech assistant to handle any technical difficulty and a production assistant to help you with your script.  On your audience side, you would need a coordinator that can handle both technical and other concerns with your audience.

Your content is all that matters.  The crème de la crème of your presentation is your speech.  Impart the juicy facts.  Your audience has to learn something from your presentation aside from being entertained.

Have the audience engaged in the presentation.  You can include ice-breakers, ask questions to your audience and make them share insights and experiences regarding your topic.  Alternate data with stories and anecdotes.  It breaks the monotony of most lengthy presentations and keeps you closer to your audience.  More importantly enjoy the presentation and own it.

For future reference and proper archiving, record your public speaking done with Skype video through SuperTintin.  Download the SuperTintin app and record your presentations.  You can playback your videos anytime for reference on your next speech.
