Default skype not working

Anyone was able to video chat with skype? It states the program supports GSII, but no option for video available.

THanks.

I'm using the official Skype from the market. You have you to enable video chat under settings.

It works fairly well. I hope this helps.

It works on mine. Did you enable video calling in the skype settings?

It won't let me select the "enable video calling" option on skype. It is just greyed out. How did you guys select it?

EDIT: Had to restart the phone and the option came up. It works amazing man. People say the camera quality from my side looks awesome.

I go to download Skype from the market and it tells me my device isn't compatible, both on my phone and from my laptop.

I'm sitting 3 feet from a coworker that's Skype chatting with a friend on her E4GT. Did they change something?

I think the app is a little buggy right now so that might be the issue.
