Skype became famous when it became the first voice–over IP service that let us call our friends anywhere across the globe, and it would not empty our pockets. Even now people attend business conferences and make calls to family members through this platform while being attracted by the simplicity of the app. Read on if you have suffered through a Skype call at full volume and are curious as to where you can find this feature on Windows 10.
If you do not want to explain to people around you why you are talking to someone or just do not want to disturb other people, you can regulate Skype’s volume to control the call. Watch this space to learn several ways of doing this.
Method 1: Via Keyboard Shortcut
The easiest way to reduce your volume in Skype is to just type the keyboard volume button or shortcuts. With your computer turned on, press the volume down catch, which is normally situated beneath the F2 catch.
Note: If you are using a computer with Windows 10 and there is no separate volume button on the keyboard, then use the Fn along with the F12.
Method 2: Via Taskbar
Another way of reducing your volume during a Skype call is by going to your taskbar on the computer. Follow the steps mentioned below to see how:
1. Right-click on the speaker icon which is placed in the lower right corner of the screen normally.
2. Swiping left using the slider while keeping the complaint itself low.
Method 3: Via Skype
However, if you do not want to reduce the volume across your desk, you can also use the Skye application to control your volume.
Option 1: From Video Call
If you are in the middle of a call and wish to adjust your volume, follow the steps mentioned below to see how:
1. Open Skype on your PC.
2. Move your cursor over the circle with the speaker in it, over the call bar at the bottom.
3. Swipe the slider to the left to decrease your volume.
Option 2: From Skype Settings
You can also find the Skype settings to reduce your volume. Here’s how:
1. Open your Skype, and right in the lobby at the top corner, click on Tools.
2. Turning options on and then, in the left side menu, click on the sound settings option.
3. Press the slider and then move it to the left to regulate the Microphone and Speakers section.
4. Now, click on Save.
Why is My Skype Volume Lowering Automatically?
Although your Skype volume should not get automatically lowered during calls, if it is, there are several possible reasons such as:
- A list containing possible causes of threats to the computer speaker includes the internal hardware of the computer speakers.
- Third-party interruption during the call.
- Skype is ringing again for another incoming call this time.
- Deteriorated loudspeakers on your headset.
- Audio driver glitch.
Using these methods, you can easily reduce your volume in Skype on your Windows 10 PC.
