Hi there,

Go into the skype settings and select your camera to enable it. Please also check the rest of your video settings while you are there for anything that is an obvious problem.

The person you are chatting with also has to agree to accept video from you, so that can be an issue. They will have to check their skype settings and see if they have it set up to accept video from people in their contacts lists.

Typically, with Skype anyway, you start a call as normal, then click the button/bar that is labeled: "Start my video."

If all of this fails, you will want to get ahold of the people who wrote the phone driver you are using to hook your cell camera phone up as a webcam on the computer.

They may not have updated it to work with the latest version of Skype. This should NOT be an issue, but you never know, so give it a shot if all else fails.

Happy Skype video!
