Skype 7.33.0.104 for Windows

The new version of Skype for Windows became available and certainly will please many users. Firstly, the owners of gaming headsets Razer Kraken, which recently ceased to hear the other party during a call. Secondly, people who have experienced a large number of running SkypeBrowserHost.exe processes. And third, those who have long been dreaming of re-transmit their computer sounds to contacts during a call (the truth is this function is not available yet for all users).

Probably, I’m rejoicing too early, but running the new version of Skype using the /secondary parameter in the folder %appdata%\Skype are created a separate file shared.xml for each account (for example, shared-000.xml, shared-001.xml, shared-002.xml and so on). This means that is not excluded that developers will return back automatic authentication when using multiple Skype simultaneously.

It is worth mentioning that Skype 7.33.0.104 for Windows adds a new system requirement — mandatory availability of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable package. In connection to this, if this package isn’t installed on the system installation or update of Skype will take longer than usual because Skype downloads and installs it automatically. So do not be alarmed that the inscription “Installing Skype: process can take several minutes to” hanging too long.

    Hi there,

    Is there a way to run the new version without the following dlls in C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone:

    - roottools.dll
    - RtmMediaManager.dll
    - RtmPal.dll
    - RtmPltfm.dll
    - ssScreenVVS2.dll
    - VideoN.dll

    Up until this version Skype used to work perfectly fine and was lighter on resource.

    Thanks,
    Ned

      Hi! I’m afraid this is impossible. These libraries are required by Skype, as well as Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable package.

    Hi,

    I tried to find the page to start a new thread & I couldn't find it, so I'm placing this here & if you can move it to a new issue & send me the URL, that would be much appreciated.

    So I've noticed the last 2 times I checked 2 different Skype accounts of mine, that the previous IMing threads are gone.

    All my IMs from me to a person (one of them was even to myself) are gone. I scroll up & only a small amount of IMs are there :(

    I REALLY need all my IMs back, so they've clearly done something to them since this last update as I didn't have this problem several weeks ago.

    Thanks

      Hi! Thank you for caring to stay on topic but this site is indeed just for blogging and visitors can only post comments to published entries. Since your question is related to latest version (i.e. 7.33.0.104), you have done everything right.

      In regards to your problem, first you should know that Skype keeps conversation history locally and on the cloud. As rule, Skype loads and show local history, and in this cases, you see all messages. When Skype cannot find the local history, it downloads conversation history from the cloud but in these cases, you see messages only for last 30 days.

      Therefore, if you see messages up to 30 days, it means that local history was lost from device (as rule, it happens when reinstalling OS, uninstalling Skype using uninstallation tools that remove all “leftovers”, removing history manually or disabling it). Of course, Skype does not shows old history if you never log in before to Skype on current device.

      I could be wrong, but version 7.33.0.104 shows history properly (at least it allows me to see messages older than 30 days).

    This version can't properly launch another instance of Skype using the /secondary command in windows xp?
    Been trying and it does not load the UI. No window appears at all, but in the task manager you can see a new Skype.exe process running with less used memory than the original and operational instance.

      Tested now on Windows XP SP3 and /secondary works perfectly. I'm using this method How to run multiple Skype accounts at the same time with the «Save account settings in a separate folder» option enabled.

      Please note that today there was a problem with authorization (Skype do not sign-in Microsoft accounts). Maybe that's why you could not connect?

      Anyway, the 7.33.0.104 works perfectly on my Windows 10 virtual machine. But if you still encounter this issue, check access to Skype using Internet Explorer and provide URL of the report.

    Hi all,
    I am used to watch series together with people by sharing a screen during skype. With this new update the sound of the series are filtered out. Is there an easy fix for this issue?

      Administrator (karma: +1208),
      Hi! First, be sure that you have installed the 7.33.0.104 version. Next, during a call click “Call” in Skype menu bar and choose the “Share System Sound” option. If you do not have this option, it means that the “wave of updates” has not reached you and will have to wait a little. As a temporary workaround, you may consider to disable the NGC audio codec.

    After upgrading to 7.34.0.103 the personal outgoing voicemail message option has disappeared, and the interface instructs the user to go online to make any changes for call forwarding features.
    I don't use call forwarding, however, I do use the personalized outgoing voicemail message feature.
    Is there a way to recover this, or will I have to revert to a previous version?
    Thanks very much for any helpful information.

      Hi! As far as I know, Skype does not support any more personal greeting messages, and you can use only default Skype’s greeting message. As interface instructs, to change voicemail settings visit “forwarding and voicemail” page in “My account at Skype.com”.

      Of course, you can try to install an older version in order to find out if personal greetings are still supported. If you do this, please let me know about it.
