Is it possible to turn off Skype beeping sound whenever a message is being sent over? It gets quite annoying to keep hearing the beeping sound whenever I enter a message to send. I don't mind hearing the beep if I receive a message though.
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1
Not sure, but experiment with the settings in Settings>Skype>Notifications.
I tried that and it doesn't work.. I turned the sound 'off' but I still hear the beep.
Then you probably can't. I have the Skype app too and there don't appear to be any other settings (but don't really use it so I can't tell your from experience).
Do you mind me helping to test something out since you have the Skype app too? Try to send a message to 'Skype test call' and see if you get the same beeping sound I did.
Sorry, I don't want to post my skypename on a public board.
It's ok 😀 it doesn't require you to post your Skype ID in here. I was saying do you mind helping me out by logging on to Skype and try sending a message to "Skype test call" and see if you get the same beeping sound. Thanks anyway for trying to help 🙂
Sorry, I misunderstood you. I just messaged Skype test call and I do hear a swooshing sound when it sends. Assume that is what you are hearing too.
Yeah.. that's what I'm hearing everytime I try to message someone on Skype 😐 thanks for your help 😀
You're welcome.
Any solutin for this yet?
We may wish to be notified when we receive a call or a message but not when we type/send message.
Hello
I have the same problem
seems there is no solution because you can not fix it either through notifications settings or on skype settings. turning the sound "off" doesn't turn this "froggy style" sound disappear.
this litterally prevents me from using skype on my iphone because my family just get mad about this noise!
hope will be fixed.
I found a way to address this, although it's not a 'fix.'
While the sound is playing, you're able to press the volume buttons and it will change the volume of the skype notifications. This is no good for when the 'message sent' sound is playing, because it's too short to work with, but the 'sign-in' sound is nice and long.
So the process is this: double-tap the home button on your iPad, which will bring up the running apps menu. Press and hold skype until it starts wiggling and there's a red minus on the upper-left, and hit that minus. That will close Skype. Press the home button two or three times slowly to get back to the home screen. Launch Skype. While it signs you in, you'll hear the sign-in sound, which is nice and long, and during which time you can press the volume down button to lower the volume. Repeat as necessary. I had to do this three times to get the volume down as low as I wanted, but it does work.
I haven't received any messages since, but my experience was that receiving Skype messages while the phone was in standby was at a normal, low volume but then I'd send a reply and that notification was way too loud, so I have to assume that this will affect it.
It would be nice to simply turn off those sounds altogether though, since I do have no need to be notified that I just sent a message...
I just received and sent a message; it's much more bearable than it was. Both volumes (receiving and sending) are good now.
I wonder if this is the same volume control that takes over for calls?
go to Skype --> Preferences --> Notifications --> Play Sounds Related to Contact Availability.
Then un-check the box to turn the annoying sound off!
I might be blind but I can't see any preferences inside the app, on both my iPhone 5S and iPad4. It's driving me nuts. 😟
(Sorry for picking this old thread back up as well.)
How do we turn off Skype 'beeping' sound?
