Why does the video call button on Skype go away?
I had this same issue when my customer/client could not talk to his daughter in Russia last year. All of a sudden it was a problem. Skype said it was a problem that many people had and they were working on it. I never could fix it, but I fixed it on MY computer months later

To help resolve some common video issue please go through the following steps:
- Make sure both you and the person you are video-calling with are using Skype version 3.0 (!!) or later, which is available here:
http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windows/
- Download and install the most recent drivers for your video device (you can get those at the webcam device's manufacturer's site).
- Select your video device in Skype under Tools -> Options -> Video and make sure it is functioning by clicking on the "Test Webcam" button (note: firewire devices are not supported at this time, for more info go here: http://forum.skype.com/viewtopic.php?t=45549).
- Make sure the option "Enable Skype video" is ticked. Also you can set video privacy settings to your desired options in the same window.
- The recommended system requirements for Skype video calls are a 1Ghz CPU, 512MB RAM, a video card with at least 16MB of memory and a 512/256kbit (down/up) connection. Video and call quality may vary greatly in environments with conditions below those recommendations. The video device must also support the DirectShow 9.1 standard (WDM is currently not supported).
- Please make also sure that you have the latest version of DirectX. You can download DirectX from here: http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx
( THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!)
(After installing it, please go to Start->Run and type 'dxdiag' without the ''. In the opening window, there is DirectX Version. Please make sure it is 'DirectX9.0c' or higher. Sometimes installation fails to update the version and in that case please contact Microsoft for support.)
A short tutorial can be found here (inofficial and for version 2.0):

Shortly after trying all these, I completely uninstalled MY new Logitech Video Cam, restarted the computer and reinstalled it again, and all was fine...sometimes, but it reappeared.
I can also tell you that being a technician, I personally did everything on their list for myself, but i found out that I had downloaded the NEWEST Version of Skype and because I didn't have Service Pack 2 of Windows XP installed, it would never work right, so I installed Service Pack 2 at the same time as re-installing the camera and it worked for good
Good luck, its a tough one

How can you study English via Skype?
- Online English Teaching
October 22, 2009
We've never taught English online..what's really involved? Essentially, online teaching is the same as teaching in the classroom. Particularly when it comes to one-to-one lessons. The students' goal is to learn and improve their English and the teacher is responsible for helping them to do just that.
To begin with here are some of the advantages and disadvantages to online teaching:
CONVENIENT: Tired of excessive travelling time and costs? Teaching online eliminates that hassle. Turn on your PC, log in and start teaching. That simple!SAVE: Compare that to the cost of travel ($120 return, coffee $200, 30min time there and back, usually these come out of your lesson fee eg. $3,000 - 120 - 200 = $2,680 for 1hr work and 1 hr travel time)
ACCESS TO EXCELLENT ONLINE MATERIALS: The internet has a wealth of resources to learning English. Essentially, as far as teaching English is concerned there are two kinds of websites: one group is focused to teaching English and the other group consists of any normal website that can be exploited for practical applications. We already have a wide range of links which include online dictionaries, encyclopedias, movie review sites, and other excellent sites with invaluable content for teaching and discussion during your lessons. Ever wished you had an article about today's news to discuss in class? Ever wanted to talk about a movie but had no material? Ever discussed facts about Japan and wanted to compare it with other countries? All possible in a few clicks. We encourage our teachers to have quick searching skills; so if you want to discuss a particular topic at the start of the lesson, e.g. basketball - on the links provided, you can find valuable websites which you can use for a particular lesson or your whole entire session. The lessons become much more practical and enjoyable for everyone!! Not sure how it's done? Don't worry! We will provide you with the proper training and there are also online resources in the teaching section with case studies and examples on how to help you deliver quality online lessons.UNIQUE: This goes without saying! Online possibilities are virtually limitless. We encourage teacher creativity within a general lesson structure. Are you good at winging it? Well, we will show you how to fly. What's more your students really will benefit and start to spread their wings too.
IMPERSONAL: The sound quality is excellent and video is quite good. But it is not quite like being in the same room with your student. Patience and effective strategies are required to avoid the mechanical style of teaching. We will give you tips on how to make your online teaching personality as appealing as we are sure it is in person.
Body language and physical activities are limited:Web cams make it possible to clearly see each other, but basically in terms of teaching, you are limited to voice. This is make the lessons more intensive for students; no body language signal shortcuts. Just pure English. Which has learning benefits for the students. But we understand this style can be a struggle or may not be suitable for every teacher.
RSI: Sitting at a computer all day can lead to physical strain. Although most of our teachers choose only to teach a few hours a day or week, this can still be an important issue. However, it is not a new problem, as office workers have been coping with such problems for years. We have occupational health and safety resources with tips and advice for preparing you with your online teaching space for the best ergonomics and good practices to avoid these RSI problems.Technical problems: Due to continual improvement in quality of computers, software and internet speeds, usually such problems aren't major issues and are easily resolved. However, everybody has a different set of hardware specifications, different OS, different software and varying internet speeds. Teaching online English with Online English Tutorials requires the download and installation of Skype. Technical problems with installation and operation may be encountered, but we will do our best to direct you to overcome such difficulties. Don't worry it's really EASY! You will be surprised!!
