I had the same problem with my Dell Latitude 5470 running Ubuntu 15.10 (4.2.0-35-generic). I found a workaround by disabling Xvideo as suggested by Nikolai in the post dated 2016-01-14 19:44:42 UTC here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93461
My /etc/X11/xorg.conf only has the following: Section "Extensions" Option "XVideo" "Disable" EndSection Both incoming and outgoing video works perfectly. (Also, I did not notice any other performance degradation, but I'm not a graphics power user at all.) ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #93461 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93461 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1078068 Title: Video blinking blue during incoming call To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/1078068/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
