I would like to know the easiest method of video calling from my new laptop running Ubuntu 16.04.

I have tried Skype but it keeps crashing and also tried whatsApp, which does not provide a video call option for this version.

    You could try [appear.in](https://appear.in/). It runs in a browser, so no need to install additional software. – Thomas Sep 30 '17 at 11:18

    You can try any of the following: [Talky](https://talky.io/), [Cisco Spark](https://web.ciscospark.com/), [Jitsi Meet](https://meet.jit.si/), and yes, [Appearin](https://appear.in/). – mikewhatever Sep 30 '17 at 11:43

You can try update and upgrade your system first, then install skypeforlinux from repository. Skype worked on 2 computers with no problem :).

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

You can get skype from: https://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-linux/ Move to download folder and install .deb file

sudo dpkg -i skypeforlinux-64.deb

Hope i helped :)
