My camera is not working on skype

My camera is working on Phot Booth but not with skype. Can you please advice me of the problem might be?

The problem might be a bad Skype install.
If the problem continues after you restart your Mac, reinstall the latest Skype version that is compatible with your Mac OS.
If that does not help, Skype's comprehensive support system should best be able to help you use their product with your system.

    Well, you could try to remove the Toshiba Webcam Application from the system and could try to use just the Skype tool but this is just a suggestion not quite sure what cause this issue
    It looks really like broken Skype utility have googled around and it looks like more Skype users have the same problem using different computers and different webcamsunfortunately did not find a exact solution proposal

    Webcam not working for Macbook Air 2013 after upgrading to OSX Mavericks? Yahoo/ Google/Skype cam chats not working. Facetime works though. Any updates of Mavericks released to fix this?

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina display: 15.4-inch late 2015 with OS X Mavericks install, only on second week. 
    Insight works on FaceTime, Skype, but yahoo program does not show insight cam in dropped down.
    Now when I got my new MacBook Pro, I down loaded all new Skype (worked tested), FaceTime (Worked Tested), Yahoo (not worked)
    Fix:
    With the new Maverick you have to use there messager program Version 8.0 (4218). Once I add my yahoo account video works again.
    It also supported AOL, AIM, Google Talk, Jabber.
    Guess I miss it frist time... hope this helps...

  • Camera NOt Working with Skype (but works with Face...

    Hi, I have a client coaching session scheduled through skype and my camera is not working.  Please, does anyone have suggestions? I've downloaded the latest version of skype from the skype website. My computer software is updated.  The camera is working for Face Time. I've gone into "preferences" under "Skype" and clicked on audio/video.  The video has only one option: "Built In iSight".  I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I had read this solution on other forums, but it did not solve my problem. (I rebooted before opening skype, had nothing else running, and still got the "video is turned off" error message.) I am putting my solution here for those unlucky ones whose problem is not resolved by the easy solution above.
    I had this exact problem, suddenly, two days ago. I see from Skype forums and Mac forums that this is a very common problem. I spent 2 hours on Skype chat support (two different calls) with no luck. The technicians had not heard of the problem (!) and just kept saying try doing a clean install (uninstall and reinstall) which I did and didn't work. Finally, I copied an old version of Skype from a different Mac and copied it to my new computer (over-writing the latest version of Skype) and POOF! Problem solved. Clearly it is a glitch in the newest version of skype. If you are lucky enough to have an old version of skype on another computer, or a friend who has an older version: (1) copy your skype.app file from your other mac to a thumb drive, or email it to yourself--somehow get it to your new computer--and copy it into your applications folder. It will say you already have this file--overwrite? Say yes. Problem solved. (2) do NOT select "update automatically" as a skype option. If you do, you will always be among the very first to be derailed by a new bug. Let other suckers work through those problems. (3) when you DO update skype, before you download the new version, change the name of the previous version to something like "skypeJanuary2011" or "skypeOldVersion" so that it does not get over-written by the new version. Then if the new version is buggier than the old one, you can always go back. 
    Skype needs to offer older versions on their website for problems like this, but I don't think they do (?).

  • Web-Cam does not work on Lenovo G480, PLEAS HELP!!

    Hello,
    I have a Lenovo G480 (20165), and my built-in Web-Cam is not working.
    When I enable it by pressing Fn+Esc the little light by the Web-Cam turns on, then shuts off after a second.
    So I downloaded the Lenovo Easy Capture, and when I open the software, I get a message saying "Failed To Open Camera".
    And when I turn on my laptop, the little light comes on for a short moment, then the light shuts off.
    I don't know what to do, It's a brand-new laptop and I've never been able to get the Web-Cam to work, not even on Skype.
    I would REALLY appreciate the help. Thank you!
