Why isn't Skype working on my Lumia 540 after upgrading to Windows 10?

[Windows Central Question]

skype not working in lumia 540 after upgradation windows 10

I was using my Lumia 540 for an year. I have upgraded my phone to Windows 10. Everything was working fine except Skype. When I make a call in Skype I can able to talk and I can see them but not showing my video for them. And in Skype Video it shows an error "No video preview available. your device might not have a camera, camera disabled in privacy or another app might already be using it". But everything is correct to my knowledge. Can anyone help me in sorting out this issue.

2 options you can try out: you can try reinstalling the skype app
And check in settings > privacy > camera - is skype enabled to access camera?
