@Skype sort your system topped up 7 hours ago to make an overseas call and credit not added to account when contacting support told will take 2 days surely that's illegal for not informing of any problems or maintenance before taking my payment

For over a month now when I Skype with my gf she can see herself in the camera window but not me, same for me. Any other app we use has no camera issue. But we love Skype. We reset the app, made new accounts, same issue. Is this happening to anyone else? @Skype care to chime in?
