does any one use Skype?

I have only been on skype for a few days and still trying to make it work . problem is ----

my niece in aussie can hear me clearly -- but cant see me.

I can see her clearly , but cant hear her.

i only have a cheap, small, plastic looking microphone, should i buy a head mike?
is it best to have an all in one webcam and microphone? I really dont know the answer.
many thanks for any replies x

Like I said before on the other page, make sure you both have web cams.

[pusskin]

thank you chrissal 1 for catching me on the other page .

i will venture out tomorrow and buy a headset with built in microphone!
i do belive that i've checked everything carefully , and all seems to be ok otherwise.

will post when I have good results . many thanks x

If she can hear you clearly how is it going to help to buy yourself another microphone? She needs a better microphone and maybe you havent switched on your video option.

You may find that even with the best equiptment if your broadband connection is busy or ha low band width that video and even sound may not work on Skype

even using the best equipment you may find that, if your broadband connection is very busy or you have low band width, that video & sound may not work on Skype
