Go hi-res with Skype video calls
The Skype Developer Zone details how you can enable high-quality video calls with the latest version of Skype on your Mac or Windows PC.
The Mac method requires a very trivial tweak to Skype’s config.xml file and an iSight camera. The Windows tweak requires a similar edit along with a high resolution webcam and a couple of other tweaks. In the end you’ll have boosted your Skype video resolutions from a paltry 320×240 to a saucy 640×480. Getting the higher quality video on Windows isn’t as simple as the Mac tweak, but both are relatively easy to do and are fully explained in their respective posts. If you’ve got the hardware and connection speed for it, give your video call resolution a little boost
