Video calls

When I press the "video call" green button Skype makes a "voice call" not a video call. How do I fix this

Re: Video calls

Can you please give us a bit more information, you do not see your own video either? When you choose to make a video call, but then only see yourself once the call has started, then the other side has likely not chosen to answer with video. In case of a voice call you can not see yourself either, but simply the profile picture of the other person.

Re: Video calls

When I press the video call button the connection automatically changes to voice call. I don't have the option to click back onto video. I'm  only just learning how to use Skype and Or not sure if this is a fault at my end or their end. 

I can see and hear them but they can only hear me. Thank you for replying

Re: Video calls

which device is the other party using, which iOS and Skype version are you using? have they added you as a contact and can see you in their contact list?
