Skype loses video when switching cameras

[Edward Mansfield]

The Skype app for Windows8 lets you switch the cameras from front to rear and vice-versa by just tapping on the video image. However, when you switch cameras Skype loses the video input and the video feed goes blank. Has anyone else noticed this and/or has a solution?

Happens to me also. I found if I hit the windows key and then the toast to go back into Skype the video returns.

Haven't noticed this on mine. Then again, I only switched it like two times.

That's a good tip. Thanks.
