Hi, all.
I have Skype and one of those generic little cameras that sits on your monitor. When I chose it I get a moving image of me. But when I dial Skype, whomever I talk with simply gets a still shot at the opening of the conversation. I am unable, using Camera Wizard, to get anything in the right side where the moving picture is supposed to be displayed, although all is fine on the moving image on the left that says "snapshot."
How do I get a moving live image into Skype? Thanks.
Do you have a high speed internet connection?? If not, the picture could simply be freezing up on you. If you are unsure, run a speedtest at Speedtest.net and see what you have

OK. Problem is that the Camera Wizard only allows snapshots from the live moving picture. How do I enable a streaming moving picture?
My fiancee’ is having the same problem. We think its because his laptop has the wireless uplink instead of DSL and its freezing up.
Do you have up to date drivers for your camera?
How can I tell?
