When I use skype the video looks really dark (both to me and the other person). But it doesn't seem to be a problem with the webcam itself, because with Cheese the image looks fine.
Tell me more

I had the same problem. Try this, it works on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit and I think it'll work on your computer too :) |

This may be a bit of a hassle but Webcam Studio is an amazing piece of software that will allow you to stream multiple video inputs (your webcam, with color correction and effects) to a virtual device that you can use within skype. You can get it/investigate here http://www.ws4gl.org/ |

type it in the console and configure your webcam from there. At the end press F1 to save the changes. |

I had this problem for a long time. Nothing (including Cheese, luvcview) worked and I almost gave up on using Linux Skype. I came across the following and the rest is history. My Skype webcam is now very nice. http://www.ubunturoot.com/2010/05/how-to-fix-webcam-problem-in-skype.html |
