I have submitted a request to get access to SkypeKit but have not yet received a response on that.īeyond support within the Skype API, our next thought was that there must be virtual webcam components out there for download/purchase that would allow us to play a video so that Skype believes it is coming from a webcam. Within the Skype API, there is another version called SkypeKit which supposedly provides some different features than their standard Desktop API. It is relatively easy to create an IM chat "bot" for this, and it appears there is an existing Skype API for playing an audio file over a call, but there is no API for playing a video file. I have been asked to create a Skype "auto-responder" for use in a demo environment that supports audio and video calls, as well as IM chat. Right now I am focusing on the immediate technical issue of feeding a video file to Skype.

Note: We are aware of the challenges of getting a video auto-responder to work smoothly and look good, but this question is not about that. In case you are using the Circuit Desktop App on Mac or the Circuit web client with a browser other than Google Chrome, you can not answer or decline a call directly from the notification.I have looked in quite a few places both in SO and elsewhere but nothing seems to directly answer my question (at least not using terms I am familiar with). If you are using the Circuit web client with Google Chrome, click Decline in the desktop notification.

If you are using the Circuit Desktop App on Windows, click in the desktop notification. If you are using the Circuit web client with Google Chrome, click Answer in the desktop notification. In case you are using the Circuit Desktop App on Windows or the Circuit web client with Google Chrome, you can answer or decline the incoming call directly from the notification: Clicking everywhere in the notification will bring Circuit in focus and direct you to the conversation that the call has started from. If Circuit is not in focus when the call comes in, a desktop notification will pop up on your display.

You can always answer a call with voice only and turn your video on afterwards. The option to answer a call with voice and video is only available in case of an incoming video call.
