Hi everyone,
Is there any way to use Arduino to initiate video(Skype) call? I am planning to create door access system that allows the house owner to answer Skype call from someone who is at the door. Any ideas or resources that can help?
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
regards.
Why doesn't a normal door-videophone do what you want?
I think I need more explanation of where you think the Arduino sits. Does it sit at the door for the visitor to interact with, or is it at the homeowner's end? Is it making the call popup on the homeowner's PC while they are watching YouTube? (Doesn't Skype already do this?)

That depends on if Skype can be controlled by other applications or devices.
If yo want to run Skype on your Arduino it's impossible if you want to control a other device to make a Skypecall try it with: 1Sheeld - All Arduino shields on your Smartphone
Sounds like a job for raspberry pi and its camera module to me.
