Other person unable to see me

We are able to hear but not see the other person, they are able to hear and see me. What could be causing we can only hear the other person but not get the video? The message we see is video loading with the circle rotating. My Logitech Quickcam appears to be working - I have my image on my screen, but when using skype it tells me that the webcam is unavailable. I can see an image but the person I'm "skype-ing" can't see me. Any ideas?

    My microphone is working. My picture is not being sent over Skype, though I have the picture from my Webcam in a window on my computer.
    My colleague's microphone is working. My colleague's web-cam is working - I can see him, though the image is poor.
    I don't think my colleague has tried "skyping" anyone else.
    Any ideas?

    Your microphone is working -- your voice is being sent over Skype.

    Your web-cam is working -- your picture is being sent over Skype.



    Your colleague's microphone is working -- you can hear what they are saying.

    Your colleague's web-cam is *NOT* working (or it is not enabled) -- you cannot see them.



    Tell your colleague to "enable" their web-cam.



    Ask your colleague if *ANY* of *THEIR* friends using Skype can see your colleague.

  1. Windows Live Messenger:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=d78f2ff1-79ea-4066-8ba0-ddbed94864fc&displaylang=en

When done both the Audio and Video will function properly so you can chat and see family or friends you are connected to.
Hope this helps. Bud
