Finally,
Its available now.
Update your skype and enable it from the settings.
By default the Video is "off". So you will need to go the skype settings and enable it from there.
The Quality of the video is not that great but well its a start
I tried it on my G2x running CM7 nightly 151 and couldn't get it to transmit any video -- wouldn't even display locally on my screen in the little window that comes up in the lower left corner. I tried front and back cameras and even disabled video and re-enabled it. Still nothing. It may work on stock and may even work on later nightlies, I dunno. Google Talk video chat works fine for me so maybe Skype requires some updated libs?
Just passing on my experience.
I see that the front camera orientation while video calling is upside down. Anyone to confirm my observation???

I have the same thing going on as you, except I'm on Weapon G2x (2.3.3 Rom), it said skype wasn't 'officially supported' on my phone though. Nice to see it's almost there though

True, but if you turn the phone in landscape mode the video will be in the correct position.

Not just landscape mode, you gotten disable rotation and zooming to make video work properly? Anyone receive a SMS through carrier while on video chat and and video get distorted? Mines did but MAYBE because I wasn't on wifi, my thought only..

realized that in a skype conversation. my Phone is now complete!
Just tried it on a Froyo rom and I saw my wife's video feed for like 3 seconds and then it made my phone reboot. So close ... yet so far.
I think one of the android blogs mentioned that it was only good for landscape.
I tested everything on Stock 2.3.3 and the only thing for video to show up correctly is in landscape mode. Leave the auto-rotate checked, it doesn't fix anything. Picture is so-so but at least FFC works which is better than nothing...
Interesting how they rolled it also out to the Nexus One (works and looks great) yet no FFC so what's the point? LOL
Nice! not great but something is better than nothing

What gapps version do you have? There is some discussion in one of the AOKP jb threads in the dev section that the 0726 gapps work where the more recent ones don't.
Hello. Need some help. Flashed JellyBean MagicMod on my Atrix 2 MB865 (was on ICS leak#1). DEscription of the ROM says that face camcorder not work. OK. But I've encountered with back camcorder not working. It starts record normally, but when I press stop button it says that Camera error. There is video clip in gallery, but it can't be opened. Is there any solution? I have read all thread about this rom. Help.
a couple of lines below that clearly states that camera/camcorder is not working on any custom camera app , you need either go back to ics, wait till dev figure it out or live with it

You are right about custom app. But I'm trying to use system cam app and getting such error. Other people said about fully working rear camera video recording.
Camcorder not working is a known issue for CM10 and MagicMod. If camcorder or camera are important to your phone use, then you need to use a Moto Rom. You can try other apps and playing around with the included camcorder to try and get it to work (i think some have), but I wouldn't hold my breath or rely on the camera or camcorder working at 100%.
I got the camera working fairly well with CameraZoom FX although it takes very noisy pics. Camcorder never really worked for me on CM10 or MagicMod, but I never used it to begin with so I don't miss it and have not played around with trying to get it to work.
Hi all,
I had been on CM12 for a while and at some point, not sure exactly when, my accelerometer stopped working, it would not autorotate landscape when holding the phone that way, all my photos were saved in the wrong direction etc. I also noticed that autobrightness completely stopped working.
I recently flashed the new stock based rom that is on the android development section thinking it was a AOSP or CM based bug, but I still am unable to get those things to work. It is very frustrating.
Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
