      Hello @rubencarneiro, sorry to bother you here but I didn't know how to contact you regarding https://open-store.io/app/skype.rubencarneiro

      First of all, thank you for creating this app. As much as I tried every way to make my own webapp, I couldn't make it work with skype - it said that it doesn't work on my device.

      My cry for help is: I noticed that some time ago the images stopped loading - is there anything that can be done so they would load? And another question: Can the camera be made to work in the app?

      In case this is all too much, would you please teach me how to create my own webapp to work with skype? - maybe tell me what to write for browser user agent?

          @Lakotaubp I previously tried that link but it returns page not found. That is why I try to ask these questions here...

                There is a bug somewhere in the OS/Morph where Morph does not have access to the camera, at all. As far as I can tell no webapp will be able to do video chat, and we have no native clients either.

                This is the reason I cannot recommend UT to family, and why I need a second device (Android).

                Maybe one day...

                  @Giiba Oh, thank you, I never knew that this is a problem with Morph. I think you are right, I tried to visit some websites to test my webcam and the result is that it didn't work from the browser...

                    From https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3638/camera-app-made-with-html-css-java-not-having-acces-to-camera/15 :
                    "It is currently not possible to use camera from browser, because QtWebEngine isn't using QtMultimedia for camera yet."

                      Good finding!

                      I knew I had seen that report somewhere but couldn't locate it myself.

                      Makes me wonder if a web app can be built using QtMultimedia... hmm.

                        Any idea why the images don't show up in skype webapp?

                          No idea. But since the repository has been deleted I'd suggest giving up and trying to make a new webapp. Not that that will solve the issues either 🤔

                            @Giiba I tried but I don't know what to write for user agent so that web.skype.com would not say that this device is not supported...

                              @mihael that is a tricky issue. If you search online you can find plenty of lists, only way I know of is to keep trying until something works.

                              For what it is worth, I got Github to work in a webapp (Morph gets a browser not supported message) with:

                              Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.3; ko-kr; LG-L160L Build/IML74K) AppleWebkit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30

                                  This may be an old topic, yet I'm wondering if you got this working.

                                  On my device the default camera app can not be found when making a video chat (camera app greyed out, no app available)

                                    @3t_ed I noticed that every time the browser engine changed to a newer version, the skype app improved. So now images sent through skype can be visualized and also audio calls work. But still no video calls as the web browser cannot access camera either...

                                      Thank you for sharing your experience. Same here, audio is there, no video regardless. Not available via Skype or any platform for that matter. Bummer.
