Instructions

First, purchase a webcam, connect it to your computer, and install the drivers. They are sold with a camera. If for some reason the drivers are not included in the kit, download them from the network, just first make sure that they are suitable for your webcam.
Step 2
Check if Skype has detected your webcam. Go to the “Tools” menu, click on the “Settings” option and then go to the “Video Settings” submenu. Be sure to check the box next to “Enable Skype Video”.

Step 4
Then adjust the image to your liking. Click the “Webcam Settings” option and set the brightness, contrast, color gamut. All these changes will take place before your eyes, so choosing the most comfortable option will not be difficult for you.
Step 5
