Hi  gofastgo,

Welcome to the Community,

Does the Webcam work with Webcam Central or any other Video chat application,apart from Skype?

If yes and if the system  has Fast Access installed,open the Video settings for Skype and check if you see a Select Webcam option with a drop down.In the drop down if you see two options 1>FA Virtual Cam 2> Integrated Webcam,select Integrated Webcam,click Save.

Reopen Skype  and see if that helps.

Thank You
