Webcam S10-2 in skype

Hi community,
I am running Win7 with skype 4.2.0.155. The built-in cam in ikeapad S10-2 works with skype.
The only annoying thing is that I am not able to tell/save in skype that the in
Options > Video settings > slecet webcam
the selected webcam cannot be saved.
Here all the time I have to select 'Lenovo EasyCamera' manually when I start skype.
I could not find a possibility to save this selection.
Any hints are highly welcome.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Karl

Webcam that works on skype out-of-the-box ???

hello,
I know that this is an issue that has been discussed many times, but i would be appreciate if someone can propose me a webcam which work with skype out-of-the box.
At the moment i have a Logitech Communicate STX but i 've the green horizontal lines although i've tried the LD_PRELOAD trick.
Which webcams are you using with skype ?

I don't remember exactly how it was, and since I run Skype from a 32bit directory I'm not 100% sure if this is applicable. For some reason I couldn't get a one-line command to work, but if creating the above mentioned executable file, which I gave the name skype_video, it works perfectly well when I run schroot -p skype_video. Otherwise it always complained about not finding that v4l1compat.so file.
Test to create a file in for example /usr/bin/ like mine and see if it works. In my case the camera works excellent, and gives very good video quality for the price.

How do I get my webcam working on my skype and yahoo messenger, even though it is working well on photo booth?

How do i get my webcam working on my skype and yahoo messenger, even though my cam is working on photo booth ( and i am tlking of the mbp with latest OX).

you need to go into the preferences of the actual programs and make the proper settings...
Such as in Yahoo, go to preferences, Webcam tab, sub tab Video and make sure you have the proper camera selected in the drop down menu of video source. In your case built-in isight camera.

Re: post on Logitech C270 webcam not working with Skype

I am a windows 8.1 user and I'm using Skype 7.7 and it has all the updates that it needs as of right now 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?

Why does my webcam not work with Skype - can anyone help?

Webcam for ichat or Skype?

Hi, could anyone give me any advice on a good webcam to use with iChat or Skype?
Thanks, John

Hi
http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/ can be a starting point.
With a Mac Pro that has USB 2.0 ports you can get any UVC (USB Video Class) camera as the Mac OS has included a Generic driver for these since OS 10.4.9 (Although it does not always give you all the options Vista might.
UVC tends also to be known as Vista Certified.
They include the X-Box 360 camera which gives quite a Good picture.
The Link I posted links to other site that sell the cameras.
Not all of those sell brand new cameras. (I spotted a Firewire Web Cam on sale from Amazon in the list)
A Firewire camcorder can function as a Web cam without the need for further drivers as well.

Webcam *only* works in Skype

I've been trying to get skype working off and on which basically requires two things before I start: (1) internal mic; (2) webcam. I have not yet managed to get (1) working. However, (2) was working out-of-the-box. When I first tried it, I got a picture of me and I think the LED came on as well.
Now, the LED does not light up and I get a square of blackness in place of an image. This is using KDE's test facility in system settings. (I'm using this because it worked fine with this test before.)
I didn't have to do anything to get it working before but I figured that might have changed. So I started to work my way through the webcam wiki page but I've got a bit stuck.
I think that the relevant line from lsusb is:
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 064e:e285 Suyin Corp.
I couldn't find exactly this in the hardware lists for drivers but, since it worked before, I figure it must be one of the included drivers. Looking through the lists, uvcvideo seemed the most likely as that supports integrated webcams in similar laptops with ids starting 064e.
lsmod | grep video seems to confirm this:
uvcvideo 67853 0
videobuf2_vmalloc 2276 1 uvcvideo
videobuf2_memops 2182 1 videobuf2_vmalloc
videobuf2_core 20415 1 uvcvideo
videodev 83373 1 uvcvideo
v4l2_compat_ioctl32 8348 1 videodev
media 10469 2 videodev,uvcvideo
usbcore 146847 5 ehci_hcd,usbhid,btusb,uvcvideo
video 11243 1 i915
i2c_core 20593 6 drm,drm_kms_helper,i2c_algo_bit,i915,i2c_i801,videodev
Moreover, the device is created at /dev/video0 and the webcam shows up fine in KDE's list of multimedia devices. That also shows me it is using /dev/video0 and uvcvideo driver. Moreover, I can't find anything in the logs.
I'm a bit stuck because the wiki at this point pretty much assumes things are working and moves onto configuration. It doesn't say what to do if everything looks OK (device created, modules automatically loaded etc.) but you just get black and no LED.
Can anybody tell me if this should work or what I should look into next? The most relevant forum post I've found is https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=132774 but unfortunately the OP in that case didn't know what had fixed the problem. Google has not turned up anything useful or, rather, nothing which I recognise as useful which definitely is not the same thing...
Note that I do not know with which kernel I last tested the webcam successfully - I just know it was working "a while ago" and isn't now.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I am in the video group and that the permissions on /dev/video0 are:
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 Apr 29 00:50 /dev/video0
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: dev/video0
# owner: root
# group: video
user::rw-
user:<me>:rw-
group::rw-
mask::rw-
other::---
EDIT 2: I just realised that the output of lsmod | grep v4l in the post I linked looks rather different from mine. The output there includes lines for v4l2_common, videodev and i2c_core whereas I get only one line for a 32 bit compatibility module:
v4l2_compat_ioctl32 8348 1 videodev
I don't know if this is just because things have changed in later kernels or if this is a clue as to what might be wrong.
EDIT 3: Really confused now. It turns out the camera works in Skype complete with LED, picture etc. So I now have the camera working in Skype (which I can't use because I can't figure the mic out) but not elsewhere.
I assume this has something to do with the fact that Skype is 32bit? Is it possible to get the camera working generally in 64bit and 32bit applications (assuming that really is the problem)?

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.

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.

http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-crashes-computer-on-install-run-help/m-p/...
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.

Webcam goes black in Skype, but works outside Skyp...

Title says it all. Basically, whenever my current program that I am using is Skype, my webcam is black. It's working and everything, but the screen is just black. When I tab out, or go into settings or tools in Skype, the camera works just fine, and I can see myself. The person I am Skyping cannot see me when I am in Skype either. It's black for them too, but works for them when I am tabbed out. I just need to know what's going on. I am using the integrated webcam in my Dell Precision M3800. Please help me.

@Fxry, are you using the latest 6.21 version of Skype?

USB Webcam MSI StarCam Clip & Skype

I've just tested a MSI StarCam Clip Webcam on a G4 Mac Mini 1.25Ghz running Mac OS X 10.4.8. Cannot use the webcam's built in mic & video together because a loud ringing noise is produced. I have a usb mic and use that for sound input and the webcam only for video.
Supplied Webcam Monitor App & Quicktime:
Used the webcam monitor app that came with the driver to set the webcam resolution to 640x480. The picture is good (almost MacBook iSight quality) but the picture tears up quite a bit.
Skype:
Picture is good (confirmed with sister running Skype on a MacBook) and there is no tearing. Skype developers have probably developed their own code for video.
iChat:
Webcam is not recognised.

PizzaCake-
Sorry for being a little denser this morning than usual. I sense that perhaps you are attempting to provide information, but since this is a help forum I am just trying to make absolutely sure.
Do you need to fix the loud ringing noise? Is there another issue with getting the rig to work that you would like for us to contemplate?
