Re: skype webcam no device found
I'm in the same boat as you. I just finished installing video4bsd + webcamd + skype, and skype isn't able to detect the webcam, while pwcview works fine.

Hello all, If you have a webcam installed, the Skype in Windows environment allows for a video session. Does the Skype, ported to UNIX environment, have a feature to enable the video session? If not, what port with similar capabilities should I use? Currently, I use Skype for audio session only, and think of buying a webcam. Many thanks in advance for useful info / advices / links.

Skype for windows is in ... i dont know... version 2.5 or something. the linux
version is 12.0.18 , with 1.3 still on Beta. Video was introduced in the 2.x
series at least, so I think you'll be out of luck with native video on Skype.
there *may* be a 3rd party app that may speak to the skype api to allow for
video, but i haven't heard or seen of any of the unix world.
I'd love to be proven wrong though :)
