Watch Movie Together on Skype

Okay, you’re probably wondering what’s the importance of watch movie together on Skype? Well, if you have a hobby of watching films with your lover or family, then you find yourself on long distance relationship or separated, then you’d most likely miss those movie times with them. Using Skype, you can re-create those moments where you laugh together or commenting a bad scene when watching a movie with your beloved ones.

There are several ways of watch movie together on Skype:

1. Download the same movies on both ends, then watch it together while voice chatting.
2. Point the webcam to the movie on monitor while video chatting.
3. Stream the movie using a virtual webcam.
   • Just search on the newest version of SplitCam or SuperWebCam and install it. Then run the program, choose the video file to stream.
   • Login to your Skype. Go to Tools > Options > Video Settings (Under “Gereral” Tab). Select Webcam to SuperWebCam or SplitCam. Click Save.
   • Make a video call and play the movie.
4. Use the screen sharing feature of Skype. Play the movie, make a video call, then activate “Share Your Screen” option under “Call” tab, and then maximize the video.

Which one is the best method to watch movie together on Skype? Point 1 is useful when you don’t have a high speed internet connection, but both of you will need to download the movie first. Point 2 is “less elegant”, and if you’re using notebook, you will also need separated webcam. While point 3 and 4 require a huge bandwidth on both ends. Your choice.

Note: Don’t forget to change your sound setting if you’re experiencing audio problems on method 3 and 4. Double click on the speaker icon in the bottom right of your screen (for Windows). Choose Options>Properties. Select Audio Input and check Stereo Mix if its unchecked. Also make sure that the mute box under Stereo Mix is unchecked.
