Re: Skype: friend can't see me
Once you are connected and have your Skype window open, there are a couple of little icons on the bottom, one of which is a little grey video icon. You have to click on that to have video.

Re: Skype: friend can't see me
Also Merv, make sure you don't have the video muted. There's a button down the bottom of the video window that from memory looks like a video camera with a diagonal line through it. (Sorry not infront of my normal computer at the moment, so working off memory). If that is highlighted or clicked, it will mute your video picture so they can't see you. (From memory). Hope that helps.

Re: Skype: friend can't see me
Perhaps also a video cam app such as PhotoBooth may have taken control of the camera. Check if you can disable the camera in that app. Reg On 25/06/2009, at 7:38 PM, Daniel Kerr wrote: Also Merv, make sure you don't have the video muted.

Re: Skype: friend can't see me
Evening, In addition to Daniel's comment ensure the camera is working successfully with PhotoBooth. If it does but you are still experiencing issues then I would suggest resetting the PRAM. (Recommended as it is a common requirement in our deployment) Apple has a good knowledge base article on doing so.

Re: Skype: friend can't see me
Thank you Reg, Daniel, Susan. I checked all the buttons as directed. When I next made contact my friend on the PC said his Skype had not recognised changes he had made until he shut it down and rebooted it. We are now in contact and also with one of my sons in Canberra. What a great device. Thank you. Merv Perhaps also a video cam app such as PhotoBooth may have taken control of the camera. Check if you can disable the camera in that app. Reg On 25/06/2009, at 7:38 PM, Daniel Kerr wrote: Also Merv, make sure you don't have the video muted.
