HD Skype support? NO For some reason Skype refuses to certify any HD Microsoft cameras.Don't expect this camera to work correctly in HD unless someone at Microsoft and Skype wake up.

This is not a option, it is a unsupported hack. I can't send this camera to my mom and grand man and tell them how to do a hack.Plus even if you do that hack, you don't get the HD water mark.No excuse for this not to work without a hack.http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=568641

I agree with you; but you can FIX IT; edit your shared.xml file and add this section: <Video> <Height>720</Height> <Width>1280</Width> </Video>You will be chatting in HD in no time. Also, make sure you get the LATEST version of Skype which as of now is 4.2.1055

I have no issues getting this camera to work with Skype. No additional drivers for either the camera or Skype were required. What version of Windows and Skype are you using?

Skype not supported in this TV. I have tried to install it, however Google Pay says its not supported as of now.

Hi, it does not have a camera for SKype. It does have usb ports. It think it does have an sd slot. Cheers!

It works with Skype. I did the audio/video test on Skype and the picture and sound were very good. It seems the refresh rate must be slower than my other STX as there was much more ghosting with movements. So don't run around too much while you're talking. :-)

They claim Windows Vista and Windows 7 compatibility but I seriously doubt trouble-free operation considering their latest driver (as of July 2010) is dated 2007 (before Vista was released!). Besides, there are many claims of the software being very buggy! I would not buy this unit so the question is... where do we find a PSTN to VoIP device that works with the latest version of Windows (Win 7) and the latest version of Skype?

I don't see why not. This camera worked with all windows OS apps that support a camera. Google Chrome had no problem with this camera under Skype.

Yes you can, I think it works for all messaging systems, and webcam chats including Skype. After installation, when you get into Skype you'll have the option of choosing the camera.

I have had a random web camera added to it and it worked. Havent done Skype though

That is one of the positive things about this camera. I've walked around my room taping to people on Skype. As long as I project, they hear me. Still, I strongly recommend you not buy this because of the driver issues.

When I connected my USB webcam, I can establish an audio Skype call, but not video. I have a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 webcam and Android recognizes the device microphone, but not the camera. Perhaps there is a third-party app that would support my camera. Otherwise I suspect that I would have to obtain a camera that Android supports. I use Skype for video calls frequently on my Galaxy S2, so with an Android supported camera and mic, the Mini iMito should support Skype calls flawlessly. Skype is a free download.

I didn't upgrade Skype. Why upgrade Skype? Its just like Windows. Gets worse after each upgrade. I'm using the default Skype app that came with the unit. Works fine.

It is not compatible, as is, direct from Free Talk. Upon receiving the unit you will need to contact their customer service to receive instructions as "how to make it such" on their web site. You will also need the proper USB adapter to connect the video-cam to your computer to download/upgrade the appropriate firm ware. Once accomplished you will have purchased a relatively inexpensive way to interface with Skype with very decent/versatile imaging capabilities.

Nate...thank you for the post. I had just purchased this webcam and was getting ready to try to cancel the order...so thank you. Oh, do you have any experience with this webcam and Windows Vista and Skype?Thanks again,Charlie

Yes. You can install Skype as this is a Windows-based system and Skype is currently owned by Microsoft. Once installed, you can use the built in camera to have video calls.

I've only used this for a real video camera. I don't think it works with Skype unless you were using a Sony video camera for your conversation, which would seem to be a big mess to me. Better keep this with the camera itself. Sounds great in that regard.

i wouldnt recommend this one for skype. the camera freezes and is very low resolution.
