I followed the steps, but Skype still can't access my camera. Any suggestions?
Make sure to check if other apps are using the camera at the same time. If not, try restarting your iPhone again or updating Skype from the App Store.

I had the same issue last week. I found that simply toggling the camera permission off and then back on did the trick for me.
I had a similar problem with Zoom on my iPhone. After trying the same permission steps, it worked. Just wondering if this is a common issue with video calling apps?
Thanks for the clear steps! I was able to fix my camera issue in just a few minutes.
