Is there a web cam and what is the battery life?

There is a webcam and the battery life is good. With all laptop batteries, the key to their length of time is being sure to disconnect the electric cord shortly after it is fully charged. Batteries become used to being connected to the power source.

Yes, it has a built in webcam on the top middle of the screen. It also has a convenient sliding button on the top edge to cover the webcam when not in use.

It genuinely depends on how you use it. Lower quality video extends battery life. That being said I'm usually good for about 3 hours +/- .5 hours. I really do like this camera but I'm not a highly technical person. For my purposes (documentation) it is good enough.

This camera is solely used as a "body cam". Clip it on your shirt and use it dealing with issues you need to reference back to. Battery life is 2-3hr continuous run time. It includes a lanyard to go around your neck so if it accidentily unclips it will still be attached. I wear mine for on and off duty use.

I have been disappointed in the battery life. I was at a convention, started taking photos (no flash) alternating with some video. Battery was dead by afternoon, and that was NOT non-stop photo shooting by any means. If I had to guess, I would estimate 20 short videos and about 275 photos. I didn't have a spare and no way to charge, and missed the rest of the day. Buy a backup, definitely!

Sorry, I was wrong. It does have a webcam. It is my son's and I thought it didn't.

It does not have a built in web cam. It does not have a backlit keyboard either.

It does have a web cam. You might need the web cam utility that can be downloaded from Toshiba

Yes it does have a webcam. The speakers are decent. They don't buzz or sound tinny but they are laptop speakers so they aren't terrific.

No, I don't believe that there is any way to use it as a webcam. It's only connection to the computer is to download video files taken by the Handycam.

I haven't used the camera much. I bought it for others to use, so I'm not an expert. But from what I've seen, my guess is that it will take a couple of hours of video. If the charge life is a concern, I suggest getting a second battery.

Yes, there is a webcam integrated on this laptop but some may have been built without it. I recommend you ensure the one you purchase does have this option by contacting the specific seller.

Yes, it has a webcam; however, we had some kind of issue with it not working, but we were able to fix it with some kind of file thing. You might not have that problem, though. You can take pictures or use the video camera.

My battery life lasts quite a while. I was watching a live stream video and it lasted 4 - 6 hours. On a regular basis, just checking email, surfing the net, etc I only have to charge every two or three days.
