Summary: support camera access (was: Skype Linux app cannot access Webcam and Speakers)
we're working on audio support already (issue 781398).  camera support isn't on the roadmap atm though, and prob will be a few releases before we look into it.

camera will probably be more work as i don't think we have any way of virtualizing or muxing streams (like we can with audio).
