I'm relatively new to Ubuntu 12.04 and am currently trying to get Skype (4.0.0.8) working properly. The incoming video flashes between normal video and a completely blue background. Outgoing video is fine, as is sound.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi I have the same problem except the incoming video flashes green not blue. I am using Skype 4.0 with ubuntu 12.04. Skype used to work with windows XP but not with ubuntu. I have searched Google for an answer but have not come across one yet. Can anybody help?

Hello,
I have this problem too. It seems to be documented in this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...e/+bug/1078068 , but there's no solution. Found it mentioned a number of other places too, but also no solution.
I was wondering if I might be able to roll back to an older version of Skype. I'd like to try that but I don't know how to do it. I'm on 12.04 and I just add programs through the S/W Center, but I don't know how to specify an older version. If anyone could help, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have found a working workaround for the Skype Video Webcam blue flashing issue. It is a workaround but it fixes the issue.
1. Remove current version of Skype (4.xxx) -- sudo apt-get remove skype
2. Download and install the old version of Skype - (I found this link/version) http://download.skype.com/linux/skyp....35-1_i386.deb
Problem kind of solved --- until someone are able to fix the video issue in the new version of Skype.
