Would you like to get a hold of high-resolution calls with Skype for Mac yourself? Jaanus Kase on Skype Garage has posted some instructions for enabling higher quality 640×480 resolution video calls. All you need to do is to upgrade to the latest Skype release (2.5.0.85 or later for mac and 3.0.0.216 for PC), quit Skype, and then edit the config.xml file in your settings directory (”~/Library/Application Support/Skype/[skypeusername]/” in OS X).
The block will look like:
Built-in iSight
You need to modify that to look like:
640
480
Built-in iSight
When done, restart Skype. The remote parties will be seeing you 640×480 resolutions, instead of the standard quality 320×240. But, do make sure there is high end computer (Mac or PC) and swift internet connection at both the ends.
