Logitech C270 webcam not working with Skype

I'm using Skype 7.7 and it has all the updates that it needs as of right now. I've Windows 7 and my Logitech C270 Webcam won't work with my Skype and only shows the loading screen. Can you explain to me why it won't work even if I've reinstalled Skype multiple times and restarted my computer as well? Thank you very much.

It seems that the latest Skype versions don't work with AMD Radeon R7 200 Series graphic card. Try to uninstall the currently installed version and install the 6.14.0.104 version using the download links provided here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/ASUS-USB2-0-Webcam-not-recognized-by-Skype-6-18...

Yoga 2 Pro: Webcam not working with Skype?

Hi all, weird problem. For some reason skype cannot load the webcam built into the Yoga 2 Pro.
It works in the Windows 8 camera app just fine.
I formatted and everything and it will just not work.
IT WAS WORKING two days ago, that's why I'm so confused. I've installed the drivers on the support page and have had 0 luck.
I'm not sure if this is a permission thing or what..
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately I've reinstalled the driver after uninstalling it from the device manager 10 times. I also formatted and reinstalled, but that didn't fix anything.
The camera works for the camera app + the webcam test online. I've tried rollback on the drivers, and installing earlier versions of skype with no luck.
Very strange, all it does is show the loading sign, and never loads.
This is the desktop version of skype btw. I'm going to try it with the non-dekstop version tonight and see if it works.
EDIT: Is there any other camera source besides 'Lenovo EasyCamera'? Their are two drivers on the drivers page, which one is recommended?

My webcam not work with skype

I have HP Probook 4540s with integrated webcam with Windows 7 Ultimate. I have making video call on skype but does not work for a week.Yesterday I uninstalled both webcam driver and Skype, then reinstalled with latest versions, but Skype does not recognize webcam I updated BIOS, driver card and webcam, I did restart and it worked videocall but today no longer works.I use skype 7.2 the last version

Certain versions of that particular model's camera drivers are problematic. You would want to make sure that you are using the generic Microsoft driver or the 5.9 drivers.

Beyond that, make sure no other problem is hogging up the camera resources. If the camera continues to function intermittently then the internal cabling of the camera or the camera itself is probably defective and will require replacement.

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

HT1338 why is the video not working with skype on this os

why is the video not working with skype on this os

Try this:
Quit Skype.
Click on the desktop so Finder is active. Hold the option key down and click on Go in the menu bar.
In the drop down, select Library.
Open the Library folder and scroll down to Preferences.
In that folder, there is a file called com.skype.skype.plist. Trash that file.
Now try Skype.

Satellite A215-S7444 built-in webcam not working with MSN / Skype

Hi, I've just bought my laptop and right after installing the newest MSN and Skype, the video is not working with these programs. I tried to configure the video settings inside MSN and it told that "windows cannot connect to this webcam. It's in currently in use or not plugged in". The webcam is built-in, a Chicony USB 2.0.
Any hints ??

Hi there,
maybe you should download the webcam software for your machine from the toshiba driver download site and install it. The webcam works but the software sometimes behaves really weird so you just have to reinstall it. Maybe its an good idea to uninstall the old software before...
Greetings

Unable to get my webcam to work with Skype

Bought a Logitech webcam chat and downloaded the driver from macam - it works fine (at least I can see myself in my monitor!), but cannot get it to work with Skype. In the Skype prefs there is no camera listed, and it shows a black screen.
I have been in contact with Skype techs, and have had several goes at fixing the problem. The latest, and what prompted the request for help regarding library folders, was the suggestion to delete all Skype files and download the latest version and do a clean install. This was when I found out all the duplication of files in the various folders. I am the only user of this computer - do I really need this folder, the one that looks like a house titled with my name? BTW, desktop folder in my hard drive is empty - the desktop folder in the house has the desktop files!
I'm confused
Thanks for any advise

Hi again, Dodger. YES, you certainly do need your Home folder! NEVER delete that! It contains everything that your computer knows about your user account. Without it, you would have no access to the computer or any of your music, pictures, movies, documents, passwords, etc.,
You really need to stop looking for parts of OS X to do away with. OS X isn't like OS 9: you can't expect to understand what each of its hundreds of thousands of parts is for. If your hard drive is too small and you're trying to make more space on it, get a bigger drive instead.
Sorry I can't help you with the main question — I know nothing about Skype or webcams.

Webcams that work with Skype 6.3

Can anywone tell me of a webcam that DOES work with Skype 6.3?
I would prefer a Logitec - I have the Logitec Quikcam Pro HD which it seems does NOT work with 6.3.
Thanks in anticipation

I definitely believe you, all mine are recognized and function. Due to "ground up" modifications to video, some compatibility was lost on versions 6.2 and above. If you want your camera to operate, you can either try release 6.5 that came out today or downgrade to 6.1. One of those should work.
