If your Android device is not in the above list, you should still be able to make video call. All you have to do is enable video calling in your Skype settings. Just go to “Skype settings” after launching the app and select “enable video calling”.

But there is a catch, unlike certified devices, the video quality on non-certified devices might be below standard or you might be able to use only the back camera.
