1) Installing softwares:

shell> sudo yum install libv4l skype -y

What's libv4l?

libv4l is a collection of libraries which adds a thin abstraction layer on
top of video4linux2 devices. The purpose of this (thin) layer is to make it
easy for application writers to support a wide variety of devices without
having to write seperate code for different devices in the same class.

2) Creating a new executable:

shell> sudo vi /usr/local/bin/webcamSkype

Add these 2 lines below:

#!/bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

What's v4l1compat.so?

v4l1compat.so is a wrapper of libv4l which adds v4l2 device compatibility to v4l1
applications ( like skype).

3) Setting permissions:

shell> sudo chown your_linux_login:your_linux_login /usr/local/bin/webcamSkype
shell> sudo chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/webcamSkype

Starting application:

Now you can just call webcamSkype from shell or create a launcher from your desktop.

i.e:

shell> webcamSkype
