You can't use both so just install one at a time and choose whichever seems better to you. HTH

Yes I have windows 7 now and it works fine with it. I do have cameras go 'missing' then they are found quite often. No a big deal as its usually just off for less than a minute. I'm not sure what's causing it. Logitech had me uninstall the system and reinstall it but that didn't help. You can't view these on your smart phone either but if you want just an easy inexpensive camera system for your home that you can view from a computer anywhere then it'll work fine.

I can only speak as a Windows 7 user with a Microsoft Webcam with a mic: Windows 7 allows you to choose which of several mic will be the "active" mic. For Skype by making the Logitech headset the "active" mic in Windows 7, Skype follows the leader 90% of the time. The remaining 10% I remind Skype that the headphone mic is the mic to listen to. Sorry I'm late getting back to you -- I blame the snow...like I blame "computer viruses" for every dumb thing I do with my computer that doesn't work.

Sorry, I do most gaming from a console, My media PC has a wireless Keyboard & trkball. Not too good for gaming.I have ran MKV Vids through the 3D converter & found no detectable lag or artifacting. Dunno if that helps but its the best I can offer. Never thought to convert a Vid Game, I might try that if I get the time & update this answer.I have an intermediate level NVidia adapter - don't remember the model but it was bout $80 3 years ago, so it's no Cadillac,Good for most MMedia, not great for gaming)

Like others have said, you don't need any additional software to use this on Windows 8. I downloaded the software from the Logitech website and installed it on my Windows 8.1 laptop (64-bit) and it runs fine. With the Logitech software installed I can check the battery status from the mouse control panel, and configure alternative actions for the various buttons.

I'd get a different product. There's a chance that it'll work fine for you, but if it doesn't work, it's a real pain to fix. I ended up having to reinstall the entire operating system in order to get the thing up and running. May as well spring for a newer model.The actual problem was most likely a conflict with leftover bits of Logitech drivers and software, but I was never able to track them all down and eliminate them.

yes you just need to go to Logitech website site and download the latest drivers for mac

Yes, we do this all of the time with our child who is away at college. We have a three of these Logitech cameras, and they are all similar, and all work with the computer and Skype. We've also used them with Google "Hangouts" with success.

Probably if you can get updated software from Logitech. It's a pretty old product. I purchased it years ago to work with XP. There has to be more current, good, reasonably priced cams available.

I had this older webcam lying around, and decided to try and use it with Windows Vista. Downloaded the software from Logitech's website, and it does work on SKYPE! However, the video is a little 'jerky', and not up to modern webcam standards. But it does work! Audio from the built in mic sounds good.

Yes you need the app. You can get it here: iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ue-mini-boom/id669235461?l=en&mt;=8 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.logitech.ue.ueminiboom&hl;=en

If its a game for windows live the software u can get from logitech free will use the same profile it would as if on an xbox. If not you can use the software to easily assign buttons and sticks to replace mouse movement.

If you are running mac os 10.4.8 or later, no software or drivers are necessary. The camera is plug & play with iChat. However, this means you cannot use the special effects software from logitech.

It can. You can use its software to record videos, or you can go to YouTube (if YouTube is the goal) and use their on-line flash software to record. HOWEVER. When using the software that comes with the cam, you'll note that if you convert it to any format other than the ONE format it churns out, WMV, you will end up with video and audio out of sync. Not only that but upload it to YouTube, which converts it to FLV, and the same thing happens. Wow. This is a huge oversight by both Microsoft and YouTube if you ask me. And using the quick capture feature on YoUTube isn't foolproof either. Sometimes the audio gets out of sync there, too--sometimes it's okay. I'm pretty annoyed, frankly. I was going to return it, but the Logitech cam I bought to replace it didn't seem to work well either, maybe worse, so I returned it and kept this one and have a problematic time using the quick capture feature. If anyone else figures out a workaround or a better product, let us know. I tried using virtualdub and other programs to get the audio to sync, but I can't figure out how to use them properly. So frustrating.

I had read on a blog post at logitech that there was a slight hardware change also but maybe not. I ended up buying what was called the quickcam pro at the logitech site because they had a 1/2 off dented box sale. The box wasn't even dented just a little dusty. Thanks for the responses.

I'm not sure I understand the question...but you'll need the VGA connection for video and the USB connection for Keyboard and mouse connectivity, should you choose to use it. It will function without the USB being plugged in, if that's your concern. Hope that helps...

what would you need 1.3 megapixels for? regardless the images will still be crap, if you want real pictures go buy a nikon or canon, or standalone webcam for chat if you're that picky. On MSN .3 - 1.3 looks same, also saves bandwidth.bluetooth - go stick in a flush usb adapter, 15$. No bluetooth - one less way to waste battery.DVD drive - get your own standalone drive. no DVD - less weight, less battery drain.I like this low voltage core duo style, I'm gonna spring for the UL50vt.
