Skype is not recognizing my built in camera or mic. I tested the mic and camera in other applications and they are functioning properly. I just had to replace the hard drive recently and the camera and mic haven't worked in Skype since.
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
😊 See this thread:

FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.

Your problem may be as simple as a need to reinstall the latest Skype version that is compatible with your system. If not, because your only problem is with Skype on your
Mac OS X (10.6.8) MacBook Air, search or post in the relevant Skype Community Discussions.
