I just installed ubuntu for the first time and I tried to make a video call on skype but my video didn't work. I used the app Cheese to see if any other programs work with my webcam and it does. so as far as I can tell, skype video chat is the only thing that's not working.

I'm sure this question has been answered before but I can't seem to understand what in the world everyone is saying. Linux lingo is like chinese to me. so If someone could walk me through what I need to do as though I was an 80 year old illiterate who's still impressed by the microwave, I'd appreciate it.

Can you explain how you fixed it please, even if it seems obvious now, I'm having the same problem and you could save me the same comfusion. Thanks in advance!

Same, I have been having a problem with my old webcam, and a brand new one I just got. Cheese works, but Skype does not and neither does TinyChat (Website based video chat)
