If thats not it, it may be your video card is having trouble processing some things from Skype. Go to %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams\Cache and delete everything there. If youre STILL freezing up, there may be a huge group call youre in (100+ users, 1000+ msgs), try leaving those group calls, and then hiding them. This issue occurs because of a problem in the video-based screen-sharing (VBSS) feature. On a side-note, for people with other Teams video problems of lagging and freezing but not necessarily right from the moment they connect a call, there's one more area to check. When you share your screen during a Skype for Business 2016 session, the displayed screen is all black or frozen.
#Skype keeps freezing up update#
There's a good chance that some update threw a tilt in it's operation. The problem of freezing computer is never an enjoyable experience. Follow any instructions which appear afterwards in order to uninstall it completely.
#Skype keeps freezing up driver#
One other thing that has helped for the same issue has been Disabling GPU hardware acceleration in Teams Settings on the General tab.įor Teams video works but the USB document camera doesn't, I'd recommend looking for the external camera's device driver in Device Manager under Cameras or Imaging devices and roll back the driver. Locate Skype in Control Panel or Settings and click on Uninstall/Repair. Navigate to the IM & SMS item on the left. Go to Skypes main menu - > Tools -> Options. To fix it, just change your converstation settings to reduce the history size. Thats why it appears to hang and starts so slowly. This has worked even when it was an external webcam attached to the computer. So, in this case Skype needs several minutes to load and sync the whole history for you. If Teams video is freezing right after connecting a call, then I've had great success with rolling back the driver for the Integrated Camera in Device Manager. Advice for people where the registry fix outlined by didn't do the trick.
