Skype Problems (zoomed in picture + video not working) on my 640 XL

OS Build: 10.0.10586.107

I am unable to show myself to others via Skype (video not working). The button says the camera is on (e.g. I get options like "Switch Camera" or "Turn off"), but there is no picture of me whatsoever (not to the ones I Skype either, they cannot see me).

When I Skype other people, their video feed is very zoomed in on my screen. A simple google search shows that many other Windows Phone users experience this zoomed in problem as well.

How can I fix these things? Getting my camera to work during Skype conversations, and "un-zoom" other people's picture?
Are there any other people here facing these same problems?

Edit:

I just upgraded to version .164 but the camera will still not turn on when using Skype. This is very disappointing.

Edit: After a quick reboot it worked.

HOWEVER, the other person's picture is still zoomed in on my screen. I never had this problem on my old Galaxy S2.

Is Skype working perfectly fine for others here with the Lumia 640 XL?

I do have the zoomed in picture problem. But front camera works fine during calls.
Had the problem on 8.1 as well.
I think its the app. Because while using wechat, there is no zoom in problem like skype.

Anyone else have this/these problems with Skype?

How can I make my camera work with Skype?

Strange. Same phone but on .122 and it works OK.

I have not yet found a solution to this problem by the way.

How do one update apps on the phone? Or see whether your apps are up to date?

In the store app you can manually search for updates.
