Can't remember at this point if I had to download a particular driver or not. My only problem is a conflict between me on my laptop and me on my iPhone as they can't both be active at the same time, it confuses Skype. > I need to connect by Skype to China by video to fix a Quadcopter (Drone) > problem. -- Kevin J.

In my experience Skype should just work if your hw is supported by recent fedora releases. Have you tried your webcan with cheese or some other linux tool? Have you tried your mic with gnome-sound-recorder or something elase? Does skype echo service works (only for audio)?

Re: Linux and Skype Video
This message is probably spam Symbol: ONCE_RECEIVED(1.00) X-Virus-Scanned: clamav-milter 0.98.4 at mcbain0012 X-Virus-Status: Clean Hi Mickey, I use skype for video calls regularly on many notebooks and desktops. Currenty all then are at F21 but I can't remember issues when they were at F20. I used to google for tutorials on installing Skype on Fedora, it's rpm package doesn't state all deps, but I didn't had to to this since F18 or 19, maybe because I used fedup since them. I had a few troubles years ago with a sound card and usb video camera that weren't supported by Linux but this wasn't specific to skype.
