Hello all,

I tried doing a search about the skype problem but didn't see anything about this.I downloaded Skype for my Ipad2. The issue is when I video call someone, they can see me, but on the ipad I can only see myself. I googled this issue and others seem to have this problem as well. One of the bugs
seems to be that if you call the person, the video won't connect, but if they call you, both connect. Tried that and it didn't help.

Anybody else have this problem? Any fixes available?
Thanks!

Outside my iPad, or was it inside?
When you are in the call, can you not switch to Video Call? If only one person has their webcam enabled, Skype won't show the option of Video Calling when you initiate the call, but you can always enable the camera when you are already in an audio call.

If this doesn't work, you should reboot the iPad (hold the power button for 5 sec, than slide to power off).
