Enable Video Call for Skype

I have just tried to do a video call to a Skype account, but the video doesn't show. I can't see my contact and they can't see me.
All i get is a square with an avatar in it. How do I enable video calls for Skype so that we can both see each other?
I do have the new firmware update too.

here you go.
be sure you are set up first:
open your contact that you want to call.  be sure that it has a skype address already saved.  it will look like this:
it will start to initiate the call.  once picked up, then it will look like this.  tap on the menu on top:
a drop down menu will show.  inititiate the video ability:
then it will show horizontally split with the options on the right and thier picture or camera image on the left.  tap on camera...after a few seconds, you will kick in.   this will work n900-any pc, and n900-n900.....over wifi, and over the tmobile network.
hope that helped!

  • Group Video Calling for Skype TV

    Hi,
    I just purchased a Panasonic LED with the Skype Webcam plus bought a Skype Premium account for group video calling but cannot figure out how to set up a group video call. Can someone assist? Normal 1 to 1 works fine. 
    Does the Skype TV app have the ability to group video call? If not, will there be an update coming out as its pretty useless to me unless we have this feature. So if there is an update coming out do we know time frames?
    thanks

    Hi
    We are exploring all the technical options for making Group Video Calling available on TVs. Most of these options, to be honest, will need an updated TV with a faster processor and more memory. However, there are some alternative options we are also exploring which could potentially support Group Calling on the current generation of TVs.

  • Skype video calling for iphone 3g

    I don't see the new update for skype in the app store and the options just say call? How can i enable video call? Is it possible for the iphone 3g

    Skype v3.0 has video calling for iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G and iPhone 3GS only.
    http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-mobile/download/iphone-for-sky pe/
    As the iPhone 3Gs does not have a front facing camera, the person you are calling will only be able to see the view from the rear camera.

  • Why can I not make video calls using Skype?

    I'm really baffled. I have a month old MacBook Air. I use Skype daily for work and personal business. Never had a problem until this evening. I went to make a video call and Skype was not linked with the camera - there was no option to make a video call and when I went into Preferences, it said I had no camera. I then used FaceTime - person I was calling also had FaceTime, so it wasn't an issue - but I've now spent an hour trying to solved the problem, including logging in and out of Skype, closing the app and reinstalling, all to no avail. The camera functions fine with FT and other apps - why will it not sync up with Skype after it's worked fine? Anyone have a clue? Thanks in advance.

    FIX: 
    1. You need Time Machine
    2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
    3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
    4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
    5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
    6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.

  • Making video calls on skype

    hi,I'm unable to make video calls on skype, i have a trust 17405 webcam, the trust drivers for this cam cause my pc to crash, without the drivers i'm still able to get a video image on trusts diagnostic tool on their webpage.i'm using a pentium 3, running win xp sp 3, the skype version is 7.5.0.102can someone please give me some help resolving this issue? 

    Even if your camera works outside Skype it will not work in Skype.  This is because a processor requiring the SSE2 instruction set (Pentium 4 compatible or above) is required to use video in any Skype releases since Feb 2014.  Since releases of Skype that old have been retried you will not be able to use video at all using that computer.

    Then all you need is an external compatible webcam with your Mac Mini.  Skype is currently compatible with your Mac and operating system
