Today when my partner tried to video chat with me using Skype, the webcam is no longer recognized. I checked the audio & video settings and this is what I got: It recognizes the audio but not the video.
In Cheese, I get this: I attached it to my laptop and I get the same results. I loaded a previous kernel 4.4.0-104-generic that I know the webcam worked with and again, same results.
I tried it in my Windows Virtualbox and it is fine. Both the audio and video work.
Here is some info that may help:
