How does this laptop's webcam perform on skype? My wife will be using it to talk to me while I am deployed.

I am using it on a laptop using Win7 64bit. Like I said it will run on older versions of Skype (which should install (revert) when you set it up. Not all functionality is available but it has been good enough for me. Also when I have both phones plugged in (the router version as well) then I can answer a second call with the other phone without hanging up on first one. Pretty cool for me.

There's an HDMI port on left side and the operating system is Windows 7 which should support your Skype application. The unit also has 4 USB ports, 1 fifteen-pin serial port, 1 ethernet input, 2 headphone jacks, 1 microphone jack, and Bluetooth audio & file transfer. Decent notebook.

I did absolutely nothing to get my VX-5000 to work with skype. I loaded the software for my webcam, then I downloaded skype. I opened skype and it took control of my webcam in less than an hour I was on with skype and talking to my daughter in Chicago. I love the ease of this little web cam. This is a wonderful way for me to see my grand children.

Worked great with skype. My wife said it was the clearest she has seen using skype.

Webcam is alright, it's not horrible so your face should show as long as there's light. Oh yess I'm usually using both sony vegas pro 11 and photoshop cs6 at the same time while browsing on chrome and some other mundane things with no problems. It has never crashed on me. I'd go as far as to say medium gaming. It can play skyrim flawlessly on medium settings. Actually it can run in ultra but whenever a dumb mage uses a lightning attack, fps drops to like 3 so I always keep it in medium lol. Yes it shows bluetooth in the network and sharing center, but I never use it so I'm not entirely sure if it's what you want. Hope this Helps Rina.

Yes, but you need a separate program for it. I don't still have the disc for it (did it even come with a disc?) but Skype saw it as a normal webcam in Win7 64bit. I happened to try this out just yesterday.

I've only used this with Skype. I just plugged it in and then went into the video settings in Skype and selected the camera. Worked fine.When I've used this for meetings, my team requested that I use a headset for audio instead of the camera, as the sound is much clearer that using the camera mic.

lol. that post is Sept 3 a month after I posted I was not supported. Maybe they added support. But if you look in the skype forums they say they only support HD with hardware camera.

My wife uses hers for iTunes, and plays all kinds of online games on Facebook with this unit. She's very pleased.As for online chatting, the webcam is excellent! She's been using Skype is quite enthused. The webcam is optimized for low light, and actually looks better in a dim light setting. The kids will be thrilled.

I truly haven't an idea if it is designed to work with a laptop. It is NOT working with my laptop. The picture is rather grainy and the movements are VERY slow...I realize that you posted this question almost one year ago, so you have probably already purchased a webcam. I'm am going to take this back to the store and return it, because of the previously mentioned things.

i hooked up a standard usb pc webcam into the usb port and could not get it to work with skype or see the video input from the camera anywhere else in any of the menus.there may be a solution but, that is as far as i went with it...the skype menu reported that no webcam was found, you can purchase a skype compatible webcam blah blah blah

i wouldnt recommend this one for skype. the camera freezes and is very low resolution.
