I seem to have a slightly different problem: when I try a video call I can see the video sent from the pc on my N900, but as soon as I activate the camera on the N900 the call is disconnected.
Any ideas how to stop this from happening?
This is obviously with the latest version of Skype running on Windows Vista.

I cannot see the option to make a Skype video call in my contacts, or an option to turn on video during a Skype call.

Hopefully H.264 support will be coming to the Linux version of Skype soon. Does anyone know if it will be soon?
Would have been nice if the older (VP7?) codec had been included on the N900 version.
As that's the blindingly obvious thing to do, I'd assume that the N900 didn't have the CPU horsepower to do realtime VP7 encode/decode, whereas H.264 can be offloaded to hardware.
Also the proprietary VP7 has traditionally been Linux-hostile, but with video calling on the newer Linux skype client I doubt that was the obstacle.

I could send the audio+video from N900 to my PC even if I have no webcam.
BUT: only latest windows clients seem to work with video, mac or linux clients can only do audio calls.
Hope for new skype linux release soon!

Did you ever think that perhaps the issue is a limit in the technology of the client on the mac etc rather than the N900.
