Problem video calling mac

Hi!
I have a problem, I have a macbook air with the version 10.7.5 with the Version 6.15 of Skype and since a few day it's impossible for me to make video calls. I think it's since I've donloaded skype for mobile, I can only make video calls with my friends who have skype mobile when I'm on my computer.
Please help I've tried everything, my camera works fine, I've tried donload the newest version of skype but it isn't compatible with my computer...
Please please help I'm away from my family and I would like to see them.

For all new downloads of Skype for Mac going forward the minimum supported OS X version is Mavericks. Skype might run on older OS versions, but it won't be tested and they won't guarantee it works. Skype is aligning to the support strategy of Apple here given that Mavericks is a free update for quite some time now.
As a result of recent improvements to the way Skype video works mixed older version of Skype might not work in video mode.
If you are experiencing video calling difficulties it might be because you or your friend are using an older version of Skype for Mac. Make sure you’re both using the latest version of Skype on your device.

Group video call on LG 55LA6200 with LG AN-VC500

Hi,
Trying to set up group video to include LG smart TV.
Following instructions found here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10801/making-a-group-video-call-mac
Initiate the call by starting a new converstion on a laptop, using Premium account. Add users, including the account on the TV. Click "Video call". Conversation starts, but not everyone can see everyone else. Example:
Master laptop initiates on laptop in same room as TV (or not).
TV is account on TV.
Remote is account on desktop across the hall.
Every device can see its own camera view.
Master laptop can see itself and Remote video.
TV can only see itself.
Remote can see itself and Master laptop video.
Is there something we're doing incorrectly?

"Get together on a free group video call – from the comfort of your sofa" Skype 4.0 - when this feature will be available on LG TV Smart 2014 (e.g. LG 42LA690) ?

For Mac OS X:
In the Finder, go to your Home directory which is labeled with a house icon and your username.
Open the Library folder.
Open the Internet Plug-Ins folder.
Delete the FacebookVideoCalling.bundle file.
When I tried to look for the said file, it is not inside the Internet Plug-Ins folder.

Have you enabled the service yet? Here's a link to enable it on 10.7:

Should be much the same.

TS3367 I already try these steps but I still got the problem I can't make a video call at all or receive .

I already try these steps but I still got the problem I can't make a video call at all or receive .

Here som other steps you can try;
Make sure that you have an internet connection
Make sure that you have a valid Apple ID (check here: myinfo.apple.com). Note that your Apple ID to register FaceTime on iPad 2, iPod touch, or FaceTime for Mac must be an email address. You can create a new Apple ID or make changes by visiting myinfo.apple.com and using the “Manage your Account” part.
Tap Settings > FaceTime to see that your email address is verified. If your status is saying “verifying,”; then try toggling FaceTime off and on (Settings > FaceTime OR FaceTime for Mac: FaceTime > Preferences)
Try turning FaceTime off and on again using the following (iOS: Settings > Phone OR FaceTime for Mac: FaceTime > Preferences)
Make sure that FaceTime is enabled (Settings > FaceTime.)
Make sure that the camera for FaceTime is not restricted (Settings > General > Restrictions.)
Tap Settings > General > Date & Time to check date and time are set correctly.
Make sure that you are using the correct method for calling the person. iPhone user: Use the phone number; iPad 2, iPod touch, or FaceTime for Mac user: Use the email address

Mac 10.6.8's video calls not working! Please help!

Reposting the text below because there was no reply to the last message. Ack! Please help. Skype, is there a solution yet? Or even just an explanation and a time frame so we know when we can expect video calls to work again? Thanks! ---------------I have a Mac laptop, version 10.6.8. I have the most updated version of Skype available for my computer, Skype version 6.15. For the past few months, I've been unable to use video chat or file sharing. I can receive some files, but cannot send files. Other people can video chat with me and I can see them, but they can't see me. My built-in camera works just fine for other purposes, so I know it's not an issue with my camera. I've also noticed that a lot of Mac users seem to be having trouble with Skype lately. I've checked my audio/video preferences for Skype and my computer's camera preferences, and everything is as it should be. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance for any help!

See: How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X
In addition to these steps, I recommend, BEFORE emptying the trash:
Go to: [User]/Library/Preferences (hold the "Option" key when clicking "Go" from the Finder menu to reveal the hidden Library folder)
Trash the ENTIRE Macromedia folder from there
Aside from that additional step, follow the rest of the instructions to the letter and you should be back up and running.

They need the software to run, all right, but many do work with Macs.

But whether it will work with an older PowerPC-based Mac depends on which model the webcam is. Newer ones require a newer Mac.
Unless you have a newer Mac mini, you're not likely to need a webcam because newer Macs (MacBooks and iMacs) have built-in webcams.

How can i get back the video calling on my facebook after i downloaded the os x mavericks on my mac?

i downloaded the new system os x mavericks but why i lost the video calling on my facebook???i need someone to answer this question...i thought this application will be for good..

You can't. iSync has been discontinued since Mac OS 10.7 Lion. iSync has no connection with iCloud anyway.

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

Problem with video calling

Dear Skype community,
Last few days I have a weird problem with my Skype. I want to use the option video calling but my video is all messed up. I have included a screenshot so you can see what my problem is. In the screenshot its my webcam that messes up, but when I call a friend its their video that looks like that. I have no idea how to solve this probem and hope you can help. I have reinstalled skype already and installed the latest version but the problem stays. I also have tested my webcam with different chatting programs like Facebook video chat but there is no problem there.
I hope my problem will be fixed because I really love using Skype!
P.S. Excuse me for some grammar mistakes. English is not my native languege

Elaine,There is a heap of discussion about video problems - you appear to know a lot about this subject. I suspect a lot of these people may be like me, still using an older version of skype (Windows PC), like many of my contacts - and everything works flawlessly and has done so for years, including video. The reason we all still use this older version is that it is so much simpler and easier to use than recent versions which have become extremely cumbersome and screen hungry.It has always been as simple as pressing the 'Start my Video' bar which appears at the bottom of the app. Recently when connecting to newer contacts, and some old contacts who have bought new devices etc - the 'Start my Video' bar no longer appears, and video no longer works in either direction and I can't find anywhere to turn it on. I am on a netbook and my webcam is working fine. I suspect these contacts would be using later (and latest) versions of Skype, because Skype has probably upgraded without them realising, as tends to happen these days. I have done some testing between 2 PCs myself (one old Skype version (3. and one new version) and confirmed that all the chat, etc and everything works fine, BUT NOT VIDEO. My question is (do you know?) have the latest version(s) of Skype purposely stopped supporting video with the older versions? I have searched and searched all the online help but can't find any specific confirmation of this fact. Would much appreciate your help.
