Skype Metro App Crash on Windows 8.1 RTM

After installing Windows 8.1, I just realized there’s no Messaging metro app. I always use Messaging app to chat with my friends in Facebook Chat. Microsoft said that Messaging app has been replaced by Skype metro app, which is installed by default when you install Windows 8.1 RTM.

Unfortunately, my Skype app had a problem. After I tried to log in to Skype (using Skype metro app, not the desktop version), it crashed each time I launched the app. Each time I launched, it tried to log in (the rolling circles animation appeared) and then…BAM! it crashed!

Have I done something wrong? I just have installed Windows 8.1 RTM for a day.

After finding out for solution in Skype community forum, someone also had this problem, and he suggested to disable the webcam. Then, I tried it. Disable the webcam, and launch the Skype metro app again…and there it is…I can log in successfully to Skype!
