I had problems with skype video where I could only see the recipents video and not my own in skype, after some investigation, I found out that skype needs xv output to be enabled, do you have the right driver for your video card? try changing the video output in gstreamer-properties to xv. At the time the ati drivers only provided 1 xv port and that is why I could only see one video, in your case it seems that you have none, this is just my guess :) Peace, Seif A. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
