working OK ?
CONFIGURE TO SKYPE
Connect webcam
Its good practice to disconnect and re-connect your webcam before you start (To reboot the webcam software) - if you have been using it elsewhere the SKYPE software may have difficulty in locating it, even if you exited the previous program correctly.
The reason being, the webcam software can remain hooked-up to a program and needs to be rebooted.
Mine, I just unplug it from the USB and plug it back in to reboot the software.
If yours is integral with the computer you will have to re-start the computer, use a keyboard shortcut or disable / enable the webcam from the Device Manager.

My genius 8mo granddaughter somehow swapped the w,a,s,d keys with the arrow keys. How do I swap them back?
are you talking like off of the keyboard? they snap off but not always back on- simply pry the keys up and place the key in the desired spot with the correct orientation and push down firmly supporting the natural action of the button. do this for every button- if the keys were switched software method (it should not) most computers don't allow you to reassign keys but some might, in this case you would need to follow the manufacture instructions to revert the setting or simply uninstall the software but I'm almost sure your talking hardware because not many code writer will "hook" the keyboard- or change your keypress- its considered dirty practice. Good luck
