Hi,
Go through the wizard and choose None, then go back through the wizard and choose the right
cam.
Additionally, don't use the 'Video call' but use the 'Show my webcam' option (click the
little cam icon under the display picture to quickly get to that option) on both sides and
use audio secondary.
Lame I admit, but it does the trick (or should anyway).
