Allowing SkypeMate Access to Skype

SkypeMate is the software driver that lets the USB phone's keypad and other functions work in Skype.

 

The first time you run SkypeMate, you will see a Skype window similar to the one below. Select “Allow this program to use Skype”, then click "OK".

 

 

 

Troubleshooting:

 

If you see the SkypeMate icon grayed out in the computer's system tray: , make sure Skype is running.  If Skype is running and SkypeMate icon is still grey, you may need to re-allow it to access Skype:

 

1. Open Skype --> Tools --> Options:

 

2. Go to Privacy and click on "Manage other programs' access to Skype":

 

 

3. In "Manage API Access Control", make sure SkypeMate.exe is listed and is "Allowed to use Skype":

 

 

4.If it is "not allowed", click Change, then select "Allow this program to use Skype":

 

 

5. Click OK and Save Skype Options to exit.

 

The SkypeMate icon in system tray should now appear green, indicating Skype and SkypeMate are properly connected.
