Skype not projecting with webcam
I changed out my monitor (larger) and now I cannot project thru my webcam which was working perfectly with my other monitor. I can receive both picture and voice, but I just can't project. How can I fix this problem? I tried to reinstall the software, but it says that it is incompatible now. Why? I have Windows XP with a service pack 3.
Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit). Run dxdiag.exe (Start - Run or Win key +R) then press enter or click "OK". Once the diagnostics completes, "Save All information..." to a text file. Please, attach this file to your post.

Skype not detecting my webcam, please reply..
Hi, I am currently using the built-in HD Webcam 101 on my laptop for Skype. This is my exact laptop: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=4229965&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us
I've been able to use the video call perfectly fine up until this past week. Skype is not able to detect my webcam at all and on my Device Manager, my HD Webcam 101 says that it is working properly.
I've tried disabling and then enabling it. It works! But, the same issue re-occurs whenever I restart my laptop. Obviously, I don't want to keep doing that procedure just to get it working. Is there anyway you guys can help me fix this issue? It is becoming a big problem because I make a lot of business video calls over Skype. Thanks...hope I get a response asap.Are you starting Skype automatically when you start Windows, or do you start Skype manually after Windows is already running? If you're starting Skype with Windows, try changing to letting Windows start before starting Skype to see if that makes any difference.
When Skype doesn't detect your webcam, if you click on Tools > Options > Video settings, what does it say in the "Select webcam" box? If you click on the pull down arrow next to that box, are there choices that can be selected there?
If there is nothing that can be selected in Video settings, and since you weren't having this problem up until recently, you can try recetting your Skype configuration files with this procedure:
Quit Skype. Hold the Windows key and type r. In the box that comes up type %appdata% <enter>. Scroll down to find the \Skype folder and rename it something like \Skype_old. Restart Skype.
Note: Renaming the Skype folder will move IM and call history to the renamed folder. They can be recovered with a few extra steps.

Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion DV3000 series laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. After the recent update of my Skype to 6.20 skype is not detecting my in-built webcam. I tried installing the older version as per other threads found in the community but Skype is not allowing to login with it.
Please help me to resolve this as it is very disappointing to see an update has made skype of no use.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit version).
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

Skype not connecting with latest versions 7.7
I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 and Skype 7.7.
It wasn't connecting when I was using a previous version of Skype. I trashed it and reinstalled the latest new, but it's still not working.
My PC and my phone is working fine with Skype so it's not my network.
Neither one of my Skype accounts (work and personal) are connecting.
My App store doesnt have any pending updates
I have no idea what else I can do.Maybe you did look at Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support folder instead of your Home~/Library/Application Support folder ?
- In Finder, press the Option (alt) key and open the Go menu in the menu bar.
- Keeping Option pressed, select "Library" from the menu.
- Open the "Application Support" folder,
- The "Skype" folder shoud be found inside.

Skype not detecting working webcams
I've been having this same problem for a couple months now. Skype starts up fine; I can do voice calls and texts fine, but some reason Skype does not recognize my intergrated webcam on my laptop. The webcam works fine, I've tested it on other applications. I also tried attaching an external webcam and Skype does not recognize that either. I currently am running the most recent version of Skype (7.6.0.105). I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling an older version of Skype as well (6.1.0.129 and 6.14.0.104) and neither of them work. I've attached the DxDiag as a zip file. Thanks in Advance!

Flash player not working with webcam
Hello. When I try to use either my built-in iSight camera or an external Logitech camera, the Flash player settings window opens and then locks up. The only thing I can do is close the window out. I'm pretty certain this began with the most recent Flash player update. No error messages or crash reports (that I'm aware of). The same thing occurs whether I try it in Firefox, Opera or Safari.
Has anyone else had an issue like this?
I'm using an iMac 5k Retina (27") OS X Yosemite with 24GB memory, 3.5 Ghz Intel Core i5 processor and AMD Radeon R9 M290X 2048MB graphics.
Thanks.
Marty@LotharOfTheHillPeople - What page is causing problems with your webcam? If you go into Flash Player settings, do you see your webcam listed?
Can you try this page: http://www.testmycam.com/ -
Why is skype not working with the io6 update?
My skpe app is no longer working since I updated to io6 on my iphone 4 and 4s. The app is still there but nothing happens when I try to call someone and when they try to call me I can't hear or see the attempt.
Skype is still working on my laptop.
help??Skype works fine on my iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1. Did you reinstall from the App Store or by syncing to your computer. Make sure you have the latest update to Skype. Consider contacting Skype for support.

Why does Skype not work with mavericks?
I recently "upgraded" to Mavericks and find that several of my other applications no longer work...Great "UPGRADE" I think I know why it was offered FREE.
Check with HP for new software, in the past after an OS upgrade I have had to delete the printer and re add it to get it to work. The upgrade to Mavericks this did not occur but it did when I upgraded to Lion and then Mountain Lion.
If this does not fix it please start a new thread.

Why is Skype not dealing with these problems?
I can't connect to relatives with the new version of Skype and I see that countless other people have the same problem. As this is a Skype site, how come Skype aren't responding to any of these complaints and advising us of a fix?
because they are useless incompetent fools, these issues have been going on for years.

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? -

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...

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.
