But reading your question I am wondering if it is the true problem ?
It looks like if it didn't find your driver ?
Try with cheese application if it works then it might be skype problem.
But in any case your question might not sound stupid :)
We are all the same : If we know we can solve the problem, but if we don't 
know ... problem !
good luck

It might sound stupid, but what does it mean 'write it into your icon'? And 
how should I do it? Thanks for the help.

In Skype the video is not working. When I go on Skype's video device setting
the drop down menu says 'no device found'. Googled a bit but couldn't find
anything meaningful.

Any shared knowledge is appreciated.

yes : it's the v4l lib
write in your icon :
bash -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386- linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype'
and it should work...
by the way if you have problem with sound look if it's behind or in frond for 
the micro

Henri,

Thank you! I edited the icon as per your suggestion and now it works fine!  
Merci beaucoup!
