(Skype) Can't find webcam

Skype can't find webcam. I have a laptop with integrated webcam obviously.

If this is important; my laptop is bought from here <- norwegian site but I figured it's the same model as this one.

Exiting... (No files played)

I am not quite sure how to proceed from here in order to troubleshoot this. Eventually have my `ls /dev`.
