- Are you ready to talk face to face? On Skype, video calls are easy, whether you have a built-in webcam or one you've purchased separately. To start, you need at least one contact. Go back to Lesson 3's Adding Contacts if you need help finding or adding people you know. Next, you'll need to test your webcam to make sure the person on the other end will be able to see you. After that, you'll be ready to make video calls one on one or with an entire group.
- To test your webcam: 1. Before you begin, make sure of the following: You're connected to the Internet Your volume is turned up Your speakers and microphone are plugged in, if they're not already built in to your computer Your webcam is plugged in (again, if it's not already built in), and you've installed the software that came with it You know your basic voice call settings are working; if you're not sure, you can always make a test call, which is covered in the previous lesson of this course, Making Calls with Skype 2. Open the Skype window and sign in. 3. Click Tools on the menu bar, then choose Options. 4. The Skype - Options window appears.
- 5. Under General, click Video Settings to open the video settings pane.
- 6-1. The pane will show the outcome of the test. The possibilities are:Skype finds your webcam. You'll know it's working if you see live video of yourself. In the pane pictured below, you can adjust your privacy settings, your webcam settings, and even take a photo snapshotusing your webcam.
- 6-2. Skype can't find your webcam. For help, follow the links pictured below, or go to Skype's troubleshooting page: Why can't I see any video from my webcam? 7. When you're done, close the window by clicking Cancel, or click Save if you've made any changes to your settings.
- One-on-one video calls on Skype are free, which means you can chat using your webcam whenever you want. Groupvideo calls (with up to 10 people at a time) cost money, but they're a great way to bring friends, family, and business contacts together. Go to Skype Premium at Skype.com to learn more about the cost of group video calls.

If you do nothing, the call will keep ringing until the other person hangs up. The caller may or may not be using a webcam as well. You won't know until you answer. If that person is, yourprivacy settings determine whether you receive the contact's footage automatically or only with your permission.

You'll learn more about it in Lesson 7 of this course, Screen Sharing and Sending Files. Looking for info about screen sharing?
