That is a skype contact pulled from my skype account.

ok what kind of client is that contact using? and is he/she online and not invisible and set to recieve video calls and such. Apparently that stuff matters. Offline contacts look like that for me.

The contact is using the latest version of skype and is online but, they don't have a webcam.

I will do some proper testing with my house mate when I get home

what happens if they send you a skype im? since that doesn't seem to be supported either... weird stuff. You should still be able to send video. There might be some security settings on the other parts skype that interferes also.

here's a video of skype video calling (over my own internal LAN on wifi) - quality is much better than I expected - though it's probably not that easy to see on my recording :-(

Well this at least looks positive and it appears they solved the problem with the front facing camera. I was a bit worried they would get Skype working, but that the front facing camera would still be rubbish.

like I say, it's actually excellent over my LAN - but Iwas standing in front of my 12 foot x 10 foot bay window on a sunny day, the front cam still needs lots of light or it's pants
