Hi Everyone,

I searched the forum (and the web and Skype's website) and couldn't seem to find an answer to this problem.

When I start a video call in Skype, everything is fine for about 10 minutes. After that, my outgoing video turns black. I am running the latest version of Skype (2.7.0.330). I tried uninstalling/reinstalling and even downgrading to previous versions (which had worked and now don't). Video is enabled in preferences, and Skype recognizes the iSight camera.

When the screen goes black, I start and stop the video, but this does not help. I wondered if this was a problem with my iSight camera, but iSight works fine in Photo Booth.

The video also seems to work fine through iChat, but there is an enormous lag between the video calls. I'm frustrated. :(

Any suggestions? :confused:
