Unable to make Skype videocall in Ubuntu 14.04?

Question

I have Lenovo Ideapad-Z560 laptop with Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit), iBall external cam USB 2.0.

Skype 4.3

I am unable to make video call in Skype. When I go to Skype-->Options-->Video Devices, it recognize the webcam. In skype it does not show the option to do videocall. I never faced such problems with Skype in Windows OS.

Please someone suggest me a solution.

Solution

Just start a normal call and then click on the video button on the skype call. (See image). It's the leftmost round blue icon. Skype for Linux isn't up to date as the other OS' so you'll need some time to get used to it I guess. Also I want to add that skype video conferences DON'T work on linux yet.
