Hi all. I recently installed Skype on Win 8 and my video shows a black screen (internal webcam used). However in Win 7 my Skype video shows whole environment clearly (no black screen). I am really puzzled Help would be much appreciated.

Which skype is it the metro one or the desktop version?
I have to say I am really disappointed with how skype is in metro. My camera used to work with skype metro but now it does not work. I would advise you to stick to the desktop version of skype.
There's also seems to be a lag between the metro app and the desktop version. Both apps do not seem to sync with each other.
