I had the same problem on my HP ProBook 450 G3 with Intel® HD Graphics 520 integrated card and AMD Radeon R7 M340. I saw blue blinking not only in Skype but on VLC as well.
Looks like it is a bug in the overlay in open source intel graphics driver or in its default settings. In case of VLC, as workaround, you can switch overlays off, but there is no way to do it with Skype. Finally I found solution here https://github.com/linuxenko/ubuntu-skylake-i915-video-fix Technically this fix just adds an instruction file 20-intel.conf, that tells how does Skylake should work. So, just add this file and reboot. After that my video works normally. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1078068 Title: Video blinking blue during incoming call To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/1078068/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
