If everything is fine with this, go to check, actually, image quality. If the camera is connected incorrectly, correct this flaw.Check video through the Skype program interface
In order to check how the video from your camera will look like the interlocutor, go to the Skype menu section "Tools", and in the list that opens, go to the inscription "Settings ...".
In the settings window that opens, go to the "Video Settings" item.
