Hi Tommyt 1944,

My name is Deepa and I work for the Social Media and Community Team at Dell. First of all, I would request you to please check the internal webcam software of your system in all programs. If internal webcam software is detecting your webcam, it might be an issue with the skype software. I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the skype software which would eventually fix the issue. If the internal webcam is not working then it might be a drivers issue, hence would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the webcam software.
In order to help you better I would like to know is it a Dell system that you are talking about and please let me know the model number as well.

Please let me know the symptoms after the steps performed.

Thanks and Regards
