Have you tried going into the camera settings? What brand of cam is it? Most webcams have a menu where you can adjust the colour, zoom etc. If you haven't yet, go to the web cams menu and go into the settings where you can change what I just mentioned, your cam is most likely on auto zoom or auto focus, you'll see check boxes next to whichever one it is, just deselect it.

Please go to Skype Settings > Video and click on the Webcam settings. From the Advanced menu, please disable Face Zoom. This option enables your webcam to automatically zoom the image to where your face is located.
