Introduction

For some reason skype makes a mess of the signal that the webcam sends through.

The workaround is to get gstreamer to watch the webcam and then to output the video to a virtual device. Skype then gets its video stream from this new virutal device.

Install the Dependancies

apt-get install subversion build-essential libgstreamer0.10-dev

Get the source for gstfakevideo

svn checkout http://gstfakevideo.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gstfakevideo-read-only

Compile and Install gstfakevideo

cd gstfakevideo-read-only
sudo make
su
make install

Move the real webcam device out of the way

sudo mv /dev/video0 /dev/video1

Start skype via gstfakevideo

gstfakevideo v4l2src device=/dev/video1

All done

Thats all there is to it, skype will now see clear video froun your logitech quickcam connect on linux.
