I don't think you use Skype to make a video to send.
Just use your web cam which should allow you to take either a video or a still photo image. Then send the video by e-mail.
I hope I'm right about this!!!!
Thank you Wak for your advice. I knew I could take a photo of the person I was talking to on Skype and they could take one of me but couldn't fathom out how to send. I will try your idea. Thanks again.
