I got one for Iraq but never used it beyond Kuwait. Too slow. Too many hang ups.

You could do an entire room tour just by moving it around. If you're wireless, you could show the whole house off.

If you're worried about people seeing your mess behind you, back up to a wall. :0D

I have one on my pc but haven't used it yet. I also have skype but don't know how to do that either!

I've had a web cam that we bought in April because of my son & daughter who live out of state. We are on windows live
messenger. They are trying to get skype set up so we can talk to both of them at the same time. My brothers family have gotten on for Christmas so it's fun to be able to see them when we call and it's not a long distance call. Love it.

I have a webcam built into my lap top and use it to talk with our DD and SIL in New Zealand. It is awesome. Mostly shows head shoulders and a little bit all around. Since I have wireless, I can go anywhere and direct it to whatever I want to show.

Almost forgot. I have a cam on the xbox also. Works just as well but has fewer funny filters.

We have a web cam that is built in the PC. And we skype at least twice a week for some reason, but when we talk with our cam on, the line cuts down very easily. So we seldom put our camera on, just talking like a phone call using chat box.

Filters? They have filters?? Oh well, this is one someone is sending me for a specific purpose, so I'm sure if there are filters, they will tell me how to set them.

You have a webcam on your Xbox? So people can watch as you play video games? What would be the point? Geez, do they come on the Wii, too? Imagine, you could beam your fitness workouts onto the web for all to see...

Huh? Coz k3n's dad might wander naked into your shot???? lol

I've seen the size of the lens and the quality of the microphone, and I know the size of me. So if anyone wants to see more than my head, I'd have to sit across the room and yell. That doesn't sound like fun. Arr arr.

I've never used one.

I have a Microsoft web cam and I love it!! My daughters have them too and it is so fun to be able to see and chat with them and my granddaughters. I gave my parents one for Christmas and they love it too. I have not had any problems with it at all.
