Skype on my Pro is really bad.

[Ellenmac]

Why is skype on my 12.9 pro so bad . Get echos and stuttering talking. Dont have that with my iPad air1 I have the latest IOS on it. Do any of you have the same problem?

Sounds like you may be getting feedback from the speakers and mic. Try turning the iPad’s volume down.

I don’t use Skype, so these are just guesses.

 

[Ellenmac]

The people I talk to have the echo as well and the interupted speach. Volume is not up high. I then switch to Ipad air and it is normal. So it is not the internet.

You could also try deleting and then reinstalling Skype (force restarting the iPad Pro in between these two actions.

Make sure the microphones on the pro aren’t being blocked by a case or your fingers.

Thank you Brian, I will see next time I skype how i use the pro compared to the iPad air.

I Skyped my friend, it is not that I cover the microphone I paid attention to that. She has a bad echo hearing me and I get a stutter when she talks. Yet when I switched to the iPad Air all was normal. This is very annoying.

If you have earbuds, try them instead of using the iPad's speakers.

 

[Ellenmac]

But there is still the problem of the person on the other end has the echo and also some word interruption.

 

[LannyC]

Your earbuds should solve any issue of audio feedback at your end. If that doesn't fix the problem, at least you will have eliminated one possible source. Can you try using FaceTime instead of Skype, which would indicate whether Skype itself is the culprit? Experiment!

 

[Ellenmac]

I will give facetime a go. My friend does not have facetime though. Can you have fave face time on a PC?

 

[J. A.]

No, you can’t use it on Windows.

 

[Ellenmac]

WELL I called a friend who has FaceTime it worked perfectly on the iPad pro .Makes me wonder did Apple do this on purpose with the new IOS 11? As the iPad air does not have that on. Thank you all for trying to help.

I have no issues at all on my iPad Pro 10.5 with Skype and use it on an almost daily basis

Echo is almost always caused by feedback in the microhone (yours or the far end). Stutter is usually an indication of a bad network connection.

Since the iPad Air works fine, it’s probably not the far end, and it’s probably not the network connection. Though you should check to see if your iPad Pro is getting a good connection to your wi-fi.

It’s also possible the app or iPad itself is behaving erratically. So, back to basics.

If you have not restarted your iPad Pro recently, do so. Be sure to actually turn it off (press the power button until the ‘Slide to Power Off’ button appears, and then slide off. Just tapping the power button to turn off the screen only enters sleep mode.

You can also try deleting and re-installing the Skype app. If the app has been corrupted, this should fix it.

I don’t have any other ideas.
