When people here kindly introduced me to Skype, someone said if you had 
a web camera you could be seen online as well as heard when Skyping. I 
duly bought a web camera, and indeed a message popped up from Skype 
prompting me to test this feature, and there I was, looking very dapper, 
up on screen, with my lips moving slightly out of synch.

But when I actually tried skyping someone they couldn't see me! Why 
would that be? The odd thing is I can see nothing on the Skype website 
about any of this.
