I just launched the latest Skype today for the first time under Mojave. No trouble of any kind. I was prompted to allow access to camera and microphone. Voiceover is fine. Check to see if there are any dialogs that may be open which requires action before you can actually use Skype. Fr

Hello Jean, I just noticed that your signature line states that you live in Switzerland. Is this correct? If so, I'm wondering if there are some regional settings that may be causing problems with Skype. For example, are you using an English language TTS such as Alex? If not, try switching
