(SOLVED) Using Skype

Hey everybody,
Well... I liked Zorin so much that I put it in my laptop as well as my desktop. I decided since this has a built in cam that I would put in Skype. It installed without a hitch and it works great except one little glitch... The video I send out is upsidedown... Is there any way of correcting this and if so, how?
Again, thank you in advance.

Hi try open Cheese and then settings.. Is it only in skype.

Yes, it's only in Skype. Cheese seems to be just fine.

Hi,

make sure you have this package installed, via a terminal:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libv4l-0

Sorry for delaying my reply. Been busy.
It would seem that I have that package installed... Could it be possible that I don't have the right version of Skype for my laptop? There were two that would work with Ubuntu so I just sort of picked one. Ideas?

Remove what you have installed via a terminal (Ctrl+ Alt+ T):

Code:

sudo apt-get purge skype

then reinstall via terminal following my video tutorial on vimeo.com - the video was for Zorin 8 but would still work with Zorin 9 - just search for 'swarfendor437' in respect of 'people' then browse my videos for the Skype install one.

See the 1st reply in this weblink.

Alrighty! Fixed! Thank you to everyone who gave suggestions. Especially Swarfendor437 and madvinegar. Your suggestions worked. Thank you so very much

Hi Glad you are sorted - why I have not been around lately - searching for a replacement vehicle:
