Skype for Vampires – Top 5 wishlist

5. Video: Sparkle correction.

"I brake for vampires who sparkle"

— bumper sticker

I keep getting requests for help with webcams from those few vampires who tolerate daylight and who glow brightly in full spectrum sunlight. I don't know if this is a request for Skype Certified webcams, for Skype partner On2 which makes most of Skype's video codecs, or for Skype itself with its NYLON and DUSK supernatural wideband codecs. 

4. Video: Blood filter.

A few drops on the collar can put people off. So please remove blood on the face, or the walls.

3. Blood Sounds.

What the Skype acoustic palette sounds like to people without supernaturally enhanced hearing

Skype already makes that great "blood droplet dripping into a pool" sound. How about the sounds of blood splashing? The cap coming off a bottle of Trublood? The beep of a microwave after warming some Trublood to body temp? During file transfer, how about a throbbing pulse?

2. Video: Coppertone® Suntan filter.

"Can you make us look less pale?" If you can add a golden or tan skin tone in Photoshop, why can't Skype give us a golden skin tone?

1. Emoticons.

New vampire emoticons, please!

 

Bonus: Extend the promotion of free Skype credits with Trublood purchase. The word is still bleeding out.
