My Logitech C250 Webcam works with guvcviewer, but does not working directly with my Skype 2.1 Beta. When tested on the Video Device it just gave me a blank screen.

To make it work, I perform the following steps:-


cd /usr/bin
sudo mv skype skype.real
sudo touch skype
sudo gedit skype

And in the new skype file, type in the followings and saved:-


#!/bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 skype.real

close gedit and change the new skype file access:-


sudo chmod 755 skype

Restart your Skype and test again with Video Device.
