Skype uses keyboard camera only on V.2

[draculito]

Hello everyone, I have purchased Chromebook Plus v.2 and installed Skype extension. In the video settings and when I'm trying to make a video call, Skype uses the keyboard camera which captures the ceiling (and inverted, at that), regardless of which camera I chose in the settings menu. HOw do I force Skype to use front-facing camera above the display? Thanks!

Not a direct answer, but have you also tried the Skype Android app (if it shows up as compatible in the first place)?

Yes, I tried to install Skype for Android but it won't open after installation -- the screen goes crazy while the system is trying to adjust resolution or orientation: everything's blinking and it's unusable.

Thanks, I will try! Even though I doubt Skype will have an answer -- this seems like a Samsung Chromebook problem so I'll keep trying to ask around in Samsung or Chrome OS community. Thank you!
