What is High Quality Video in Skype for Windows?
High Quality Video is video calling with improved image quality. It’s our best video quality yet and offers clearer, crisper and sharper video images. To make High Quality Video calls, you’ll need a Skype certified High Quality Video webcam and the latest version of Skype. You will also need a computer with a dual core processor (minimum Core™ 2 Duo or a similarly fast processor) and a high-bandwidth internet connection (we recommend 384 kbps and above). You will also need the latest High Quality video webcam software.
High Quality Video is video calling with improved image quality. It offers clearer, crisper and sharper video images than standard video calling. High Quality Video transmits video images at 640×480 pixel resolution at up to 30 frames per second. By comparison, standard video calling offers 320X240 pixel resolution at 15 frames per second. This means that with High Quality Video you can increase the size of your video call window without losing picture quality. Have a look at our comprehensive guide on using Skype for broadcast.
