Default Anyway to improve outgoing video quality on Skype

Hi All

Has anyone had any luck improving the outgoing video quality on Skype. The incoming quality is fine, but the outgoing quality is pretty crappy-if I move at all it gets very blurry. I've tested it several times Skyping with my windows computer in the same room.I have all the updates

Are there any ways to alleviate it? Bright lights in the room? Hacks? Is is a hardware issue? Driver issue? Skype app issue?

Thanks, all.

3.04 still has bad video output. Lets hope 3.05 comes soon and includes this fix.

proper lighting helps. I'm hoping they will add the "steady shot" feature that they just added to the pre3 camera. Skype on the pre3 is great, pretty good on the touchpad. I put it on the touchstone when I skype to prevent movement until they (hopefully) add stabilization.

LOL. That's because facetime can never be beaten when it comes to video chat. My parents give me the same grief and I'm always forced to use the iPad 2 to chat with them :-O
