here is a great list of webcams that work, and dont work with skype on Ubuntu
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams

can you please give us the model and make of the webcam?

also can you open terminal by pressing CTLR+ALT+T and paste in the following command

lsusb

then paste the results here.

have you checked your skype settings? have you tried installing cheese from the ubuntu software center to see if it works in that application?

Thanks Nathan. Don't know how to check Skype settings. Cheese does not work.
