UserSkype allows you to connect with other Skype users as well as to call landline and mobile phone numbers. However, only calls between Skype users enable video calls and the ability to see the other caller. So if you've connected with someone who's using a phone outside of the Skype platform, you won't see her picture. If you are connected with another Skype user in a video call, not seeing video is akin to when you try to take a photo with a cap over the lens - total darkness. So ensure that your and the other person's webcam are free of obstructions. WebcamSometimes the webcam itself is the culprit. It could be broken or already in use by another program, so close any other open programs that use the webcam.

Your calling partner also might need to update her webcam's drivers if its manufacturer issued an update to fix a bug or make it work more efficiently. Skype offers a number of recommended webcams that are available to buy from the Skype Shop (link in Resources).
These webcams are, according to Skype, are ones that work seamlessly with the Skype platform. WindowsYour calling partner might need to upgrade to the latest version of Windows, whether that's Windows 8 or otherwise. If that's not an option for him currently, he might need to download Skype's special version of the platform that's geared especially to those who have older computers and versions of Windows. Skype updates have prevented some older computer platforms from making Skype video calls.
Feb 16, 2018 Skype for Business mobile clients do not update a user's presence based on the user's free/busy calendar information. If a mobile client user is also signed in to the Skype for Business desktop client, the desktop client updates the user's presence based on the user's free/busy calendar information.

Furthermore, to see if Skype is syncing properly with a webcam, you can click the Bar icon within Skype - the button that looks like a bar graph. Then click 'Webcam.' From there you or your fellow callers can test to ensure that your webcams are working properly with Skype.
If you or they use multiple webcams, ensure that the one being used is the one currently selected.
Apologies if this thread looks duplicate, I have tried to interact with existing ones with no success. My profile picture in Skype for Business is not showing.
Whenever I go to Options My Picture, the 'Edit or Remove Picture' is greyed out. We have Office365in place and Outlook 2013. There are no policies preventing users to change their picture (that I am aware of; where would this be set anyway?).
I have the 'thumbnailPhoto' attribute set and working in the Active Directory. I have exhausted the alternativesI found elsewhere, including those listed here ideas?
