As usual with a beta: back up your Skype settings first!

There is a not so easy to find Skype Mac beta to be found at Skype.com -- a version that allows one to video conference with other Skype users, be it on Windows or the Mac. Be aware that it does not work with FireWire webcams, such as the original iSight, but works fine with the new MacBook (Pro) -- I did not see any problems.

The beta works fine with my firewire iSight on my Quad.

Works beautifully with my MacBook. In fact, my wife commented on how much better the video quality is with my built-in iSight versus the Logitech QuickCams she and most of our friends have on their PCs. I haven't had any problems, crashes, or other unfortunate events yet, so I'd say this beta is pretty safe.

Contrary to the experience reported above, it works fine with the iSight built into my MacBook. It was indeed choppier than other cameras and other video applications, besides taking a good 50% of the processor to use.

Supported web cameras for skype?
Anyone has any list of supported web cameras for skype? Do I need to have mac drivers for video in skype to work or skype uses its own drivers. I have logitech web camera that doesnt have macosX drivers (but had macos9 drivers). |
