    With the latest OS X 10.5.5 and Skype 2.7.0.330 it should just work. Are you running these versions?

    Also, are you running any VM software (if you are running the PC version of skype in the VM and have not allocated the camera to the VM or vice versa you may see this issue).

    Also in your Skype > Preferences > Video is the iSight selected and enabled?
