No, you do not have to have a skype webcam to use skype. In fact, you don't have to have any webcam to use skype. You can make voice calls if you have a microphone, and you can chat regardless. However, if you want to do a video chat, you will need some kind of webcam.. If you have a acer laptop you have a crystal eye in your laptop.
