Thought it was built in Meego. Have you tried to register a Skype account?

I think the video you refer to is a beta - or alfa - of peregrine.
Unfortunately, this seems kinda dead.
But, perhaps someone will continue the work

Skype is already on N9, but no video

Perhaps with terminal only?

No.
There is no Video calling for Skype on Harmattan. Only sending messages and Voice (audio)calling works with the provided skype deb file.

Just read the thread.... It's explained over there.

Copy the skype.deb to the root of your MyDocs, then go to the terminal and type:

Code:

devel-su
(password = rootme)

Code:

dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/skype.deb
Done!

Edit: Pressing the "Thanks!" button to people that tries to help you would be appreciated :)

You don't uninstall a file, you uninstall a package. Make a note which package(s) the file installed (apt-get will tell you). You can then uninstall it by apt-get remove <package-name> (or apt-get purge <package-name> if you don't want any configuration left behind).

reboot the phone to see if the red icon changes to skype icon.

Code:

devel-su
(password = rootme)
Code:

dpkg -r skype
