Hi, you might find this page helpful/informative:

https://wiki.debian.org/skype

And here is where you get Skype (if you choose not to use an open-source solution after reading the page above):

http://www.skype.com/en/download-sky...-for-computer/

But keep in mind you are using Debian "testing" so it might be broken, or break at some future date. Skype developers are probably not wasting a lot of time on Debian Jessie until it becomes "stable."

1. You download it from the skype website choosing the correct distribution. In our case it's Debian 7.0 multiarch. If you are running a 64bit system you will need the multiarch-support package installed since there is no 64bit version of skype for linux.
2. When you download the deb package just give this command:

Code:

sudo dpkg -i <name of skype package>

jdk

As I said, you will need the multiarch-support package installed since there is no 64bit version of skype for linux.

Code:

sudo apt-get install multiarch-support

Bonjour, au forum!

Pour compléter l'installation d'une webcam réussi!
Logitech C250, Quikcam pro 4000 avec pc débian jessie, sid, 8 en 32bits...
carte asus, processeur intel core2

installer le skype ver 4.3..
installer alsa de chez debian jessie!
installer pulseaudio de chez ubuntu aussi...
la dernière version est un +...

et il faut à tout pris aussi installer le paquet:
pavucontrol de chez debian
pavucontrol_2.0-2_i386.deb
skype-debian_4.3.0.37-1_i386.deb
brancher la webcam à l'entrée usb

verifier que en ligne de commande terminal:

$ alsamixer
se lance,

la fenêtre apparait, touche F4 -> Capture, puis touche F6 -> chois de la webcam -> usb-046d..etc..
validez, le curseur apparait avec " mic "

alsamixer permet de verifier la présence de la webcam et la connexion sur l'usb...

sortir -> touche echap

verifier que en ligne de commande terminal:

$ pavucontrol
se lance

la fenêtre apparait, avec les onglets:
lecture, enregistrement, périphérique de sortie, périphérique d' entrée, configuration!
ici verifier que le micro fonctionne de la webcam sur l'onglet: périphérique d' entrée!!!
je répète,
verifier que le micro fonctionne de la webcam sur l'onglet: périphérique d' entrée
le curseur doit varié sur votre discours..
quitter le terminal, fermer...

ceci permet de vérifier que le module PulseAudio fonctionne avec la Webcam au micro!!

démarrer le Skype en cliquant sur son logo au bureau!

maintenant on va tester le micro avec Skype!

cliquez sur l'onglet skype -> option ->
une fenetre apparait:
clic -> vidéo
la vidéo est en action, la référence de webcam est reconnue...
clic -> son
Pulseaudio est sélectionné 3 fois.

clic en bas sur le bouton " ouvrir la fenetre de volume de PulseAudio "
une fenetre de controle de volume " pavucontrol " apparait, mais celle-ci en partant de Skype et non du terminal qui est fermé!
clic -> enregistrement
elle presque vide en son contenu...
clic -> périphérique d'entrée -> webcam le curseur à 75% environ

on a maintenant sur notre bureau 3 fenêtres ouvertes de Skype!
A, celle de notre pseudo skype,
B, celle de l'Option,
C, celle du controle de volume PulseAudio, onglet " ENREGISTREMENT "

Tester un appel!

en A, fenêtre de pseudo, garder le réglage automatique de skype, clic -> lancer un appel

en C, fenetre PulseAudio -> onglet enregistrement -> à la fin de la jolie voix d'acceuil environ 10 secondes,
apparait le curseur et un bouton en haut à droite -> sélectionner rapidement votre Webcam parmi les choix proposés!

l'opération est assez rapide, c'est la durée de l'enregistrement soit 10 secondes.
à fin de l'écoute, le contenu de l'onglet " enregistrement " disparait...

C'EST DANS CETTE FENÊTRE QUE CE CONFIGURE LA WEBCAM AU SKYPE

cela marche très bien, vidéo et audio parfait..

Ever since Microsoft bought Skype they aren't wasting time on Linux in general. It's been pure downhill since then. I know not the topic of thread but I seriously recommend switching to Google Hangouts. Skype was a non stop problem for me in Debian, *buntu, and anywhere else I tried it since MS took over. I gave up.

I've been using both skype and Debian testing for years. I am unaware of any differences between how well skype runs on testing vs. stable. When you say "it", are you referring to "skype" or "testing"?
