Specifically talking about skype mobile.

When at the menu to call somebody the "video call" option grayed out (when in the call options for any contact).

While on the phone via skype mobile the video briefly started to work but turned off after ~5 seconds. Not sure how or why.

Is there a way to make the video call button workable so I can video chat while using the iPhone? Thanks.

Hi Kingofkings, welcome to iphoneforums.net

I see you have a pending topic at Skype forum here:
"Video call" button is grayed out and won't let me use. - Skype Community
You may need to bump that unanswered topic with the word "Bump", hopefully "tech support" may the answer this 3 day old topic!

From what I've found online the options to try are:
  • try any available Beta upgrade of Skype
  • try another Windows OS (like Windows 7) or updated Mac
  • uninstall the reinstall Skype fully
  • confirm your phone is default firmware and not Jailbroken
  • confirm your phone has at least the minimum requirements
  • choose another contact with a different device
There seems to be no set best answer, which makes me feel that Skype is just not at this stable capability yet, on some devices and when working from from certain configurations. Hence the reason (I feel) no one has replied to your topic as yet.

Please keep us informed. Especially if Skype replies after bumping your topic.
