SeeStorm for Skype default window

When you open SeeStorm for Skype while not being in a Skype conversation with anyone, you will see the black window with the picture showing that you are not connected now.



When you start a Skype conversation with someone who does not launched (or does not have) SeeStorm for Skype yet, you will see the default avatar against the default background. You'll be seeing this avatar until your contact starts SeeStorm for Skype and chooses some avatar.

Please note:
Your contact will not be able to see your avatar (shown in the small embedded window), until he/she launches SeeStorm for Skype as well.



Skype call control buttons are available in the bottom-left corner.

When your partner in conversation launches SeeStorm for Skype and chooses any avatar, you will see it in the program window. Welcome to a live avatar video talk!
