Skype 2.5 Video Issues

If you are experiencing video problems with Skype 2.5 software then make sure to check out the Skype Forum for the details on how to resolve the issue.

After upgrading to 2.5 I started seeing erratic behavior where video would sometimes not work incoming or outgoing. In my case, I was having issues where no one was able to see my video any more. Turns out that I was using the latest Direct X 9.0c software but others were not. After having all users upgrade to Direct X 9.0c everything started working again.

To check if you have Direct X 9.0c installed, go to the Start Menu and click on Run… Then type “dxdiag” and hit enter. You will be presented with this screen (I have marked the version field in red):

You can download and install the latest Direct X drivers here.
