No, as long as one party has a webcam or video enabled device they can chat on Skype. However, the person who does not have a webcame or video enabled device, will not be able to send their image, only receive the other participants.
Not if both parties have Skype
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. -Huge Taylor Swift Fan
A Skype webcam is worth it because it does let you talk to anyone you would like. As long as two people both have Skype accounts and internet connection they can talk to each other from anywhere.
To see another person on webcam, both parties need to have a camera and microphone set up on their devices. They can use video conferencing software or platforms like Zoom, Skype, or Google Meet, which allow users to connect via video calls. Once the connection is established, the video feed from the other person's webcam will appear on your screen, enabling real-time visual interaction. Make sure your internet connection is stable for a smooth experience.
Load up SkypeClick the person you wish to call, if they have accepted you as a Skype contact, you can call them.Click the green 'Call' button.NOTE: You have to pay to call someone, but video calling is free. Therefore, if you and the recipient both have a webcam, video calling is better.
To use your laptop webcam, you have to install a program that is compatible with webcam chat such as Skype or MSN. Both programs are free and can be downloaded on their websites.
If both parties are using a Mac then they can use iChat to make video calls. An alternative is the Skype phone networking software that also has a video call funcation. (See links below)
Yes. With the webcam you can even do video conferences on either of the two. If you mean both at the same time I'm sure it would work...it just seems weird. :)

There are many different pieces of software that allow you to see the person you're chatting with - the most common is probably skype which has a free download and registration at skype.com - you both will need a piece of hardware called a web cam properly installed, but if you both get skype and you both have a webcam, you can initiate "video chat" to see each other.
