Which webcam for Skype will work out of the box on Linux?

Hello! Please advise a working camera for Skype in Linux. CANYON CNR-WCAM43G (093a:2620) is now available. It probably works fine in all programs, but not in Skype. In it, this USB device is detected, but it only displays a black screen. The problem was solved with LD_PRELOAD ..., but it turned out to be temporary. After the next skype update (it seems from the 7th to the 8th version), the camera again gives out blackness (of course, only in Skype) and no crutches and dancing with a tambourine no longer help.
Guys, help me out! Parents need to return the video call. We need working options so that when buying a camera you don’t have to pay a pretty penny in vain. Write what you are using now. Shoveled a lot of things, but there almost all the information is already irrelevant. Watched including:

Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa 4.4.0-127-generic (x86_64)
Skype 8.22.0.2

Here IMHO more business in Skype. Microsoft shuts down Skype on foreign systems... :(

Not a single camera has been stupid yet. No USB, no built-in laptop.
