Hey everyone-

I'm sure I'm not the only one to bring this up, but why wouldn't it be possible to modify the Skype app to support video calling? I assume the same code that enables video calling through Gtalk could be modified and implemented into the Skype as well, but then again I have no coding knowledge. I'm also guessing the Skype app isn't open-source, but are there any potential solutions to this issue? Just wondering, thanks.

-Sincerely, bobofosho123

it's more than an idea; you can do this now.

Just make sure that your Skype account is set up, then in the Contacts application -> Settings ensure that the Video call option is displayed (see screenshot).

Man, it's about N9 / N950, not N900

N900 Skype app uses hildon/GTK which is not (currently) available on the N9. So I would say no.
