I tried it also with both Skype and Gmail Chat, neither one sees the video. Both of them show the netcamstudio device (/dev/video1) and I can select it but I see no video.
All I get is a black screen.

I was hoping to use wcs with both apps so I could rapidly change video source without having to drop the connection, select the video source and call back. Wonder what they do not like about the WCS video?

Oh yes, forgot. I can see the video in the previewer, I can see it in VLC or any other app that will allow me to select the video device (/dev/video1) So it is putting out good video. Just not sure why gmail and Skype do not like it.

My real webcam (/dev/video0) works fully in skype.

webcamstudio does not appear in skype's test window, nor does it appear in the preview box in-call, nor can the person being called see the video (confirmed with bill-on-skype-video-echo video echo service).

This has been a long struggle to be compatible with Skype. I don't know how they are capturing, but there doing something wrong.

Anyway, I will still try to find a solution
