How to set the ringing duration in Skype before it automatically rejects a call

skype

When calling someone Skype is ringing for 30 seconds or more (might be even 1 minute, I didn't look at the clock) until it's auto-rejected if the other user doesn't accept/reject the call.

However, when I am called the incoming call is rejected after a few (10-15) seconds which is very annoying. Is there some hidden option to set the ringing duration?

Some facts which may or may not be important:

  • Skype 4.1 – don't suggest upgrading to Skype 5, it's a piece of crap.
  • I'm signed in to Skype from two locations (office PC and home PC – both have the same Skype version)

Best Answer

You should find this at the following:

Tools > Options > Calls > Voicemail

There is a section labelled, "Send calls to voicemail if..."

Set the time incoming calls have before being redirected to voicemail:

I do not answer within [time] seconds
