Jon,
you sure? this example seems to indicate it does:
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Rushing to the end with a super quick question about Skype.
I'm on the line with a client and we are trying to do our session but, while I can see myself in the video screen, and I can see her, she cannot see me.
What is the simple thing I'm missing?
Hep me, hep me...please?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Tools-->Options-->Video Settings
What items are selected?
eta: What items, for both of you? It could be a setting on the other person's Skype. One column controls who you can receive video from, and one column controls who can see your video.

I don't see Tools in the Skype menu. Call, chat, account, edit, view, window, etc.

Sounds like your Mac version looks different from my Windows version. I have a menu bar at the top with "Skype - Contacts - Conversation - Call - View - Tools - Help"
Still, check out all your menus for anything about video options. On mine, there is a setting to restrict my video to contacts only or from no one, and another setting to restrict received video from anyone/contacts/no one.

Okay, so the session is over, but before we ended, I asked the client to look at her menu bar, given that system is a pc. Weirdly, she had the same info as me, not the list of options you mentioned, dcp. Could that be a version thing? Since I just downloaded Skype, I assume it is the latest.
Honestly, I was so excited about this working...and given that I could see her AND myself, I have to assume it was something on her end, but I don't know how to advise her.
Is there a different product that works better?

Has Skype video worked for you with other contacts? Were they also using Macs?
I've used Google's video chat, it seems to work about as well.

This was my first attempt.
So, I don't know if it would work with others.
I'll give google video chat a try.

dcp, I just reopened skype and see that you called but seem to have missed you.
