YU12 is the same as YUV420 (planar) which skype does support. I assure you that
skype works with libv4l for cams which have a native format which skype does
not understand.
What is an other issue with skype is that it insists on asking 320x240, so if the
driver for your cam cannot deliver 320x240 and libv4l fails to make 320x240 out of
it in someway (see below) then skype will fail.
libv4l will crop 352x288 to 320x240 especially for skype, and it will downscale
640x480 to 320x240 for the same reason.
Regards,
Hans
