Skype Video and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and one problem I had was to get video calling with Skype to work.
I understand from the web that I am not the only one.

Here is the Guide (click photos to enlarge):


1. You need Skype version 2.5 or higher. If you do not have it go to Android Market and install - or update. You will probably have to be logged into Market to get it.


2. When Skype is started press the menu bar (three lines stacked) at the bottom of your Galaxy screen.


3. Press "Settings".


4. Scroll down and check "Enable video calling".

Enjoy!

Hi Roger,
My Samsung Galaxy Tab 7+ is working with Video Chats BUT only when I ask my friend to send their Skype Invite and I could NOT send my Invite to others. Could you give us step-by-steps instruction like before on how to send our own Skype Invites?
