Re: Even when the audio works..
I've given up on Skype, on the Mac. It insisted I update it and all I get is a window with nothing in it. The buttons are all there but if you click on the wrong one or the wrong bit of the screen it borks the whole thing.
I only fired Skype up to try and help my wife out who was having trouble with it on her work Windoze box and needed a separate user to troubleshoot it.
So it's WhatsApp or nothing (Facetime is still there but I only have the eldest on that and she's not talking to me . . .).
