So that might be something to try if your iSight doesn't work with any programs and nothing else seems to get it to work. But after backing up and then wiping the drive and reinstalling OS X for other reasons, I discovered that the iSight was working.

I forgot about it for a while because I didn't need to use it. And when you're actually calling someone, make sure the video icon on the bottom of your window is lit up.įor what it's worth, I had a problem with the iSight not working on a Macbook Air. You should be able to see yourself in the preview window. 'Camera' should be set to 'Built-in iSight' and 'Enable Skype Video' should be checked. In Skype, go to the Preferences panel and click on the Video icon. If you can take your picture with Photo Booth, your camera is working and your problem probably has to do with your Skype settings. Since it comes with a mic which is the pinhole on the back of the unit next to the rear. The headphone part works, but I cant figure out how to use the microphone with them instead of the computers internal microphone. If you want to use Skype with an audio interface like a Focusrite, a mixer that sends separate channels via USB or an audio recorder that records to individual tracks but can also function as an interface like the Zoom H6, and you need more than one microphone to be heard by Skype (podcast co-host, interviewee, etc) then you have a problem. macrumors member 90 0 2 Yes you can most certainly use skype on the iPod touch 4. If you use the latest version of OS X (Mavericks) and the latest version of Skype (6.12), all the issues will resolve. To see if the problem is with Skype or your computer, I'd recommend opening up Photo Booth (you should find it in your Applications folder - it's a standard Mac application). I have an iPhone headset (the ones that have a cord and double as headphones), and I want to use Skype on my computer. There was a version of Mountain Lion (I think it was OS X 10.8.5, but its been six months, so I'm not sure) that had an issue with the camera from MacBook Air with the Skype version that was current at the time.

Can i use skype on a mac
