I need a new webcam to use with Skype. I looked at several online but a couple of the reviews said that they dont work with Skype. Anyone have suggestions ? |

Hmmm.. the microsoft (different model: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Microsoft+-+LifeCam+Cinema+Webcam/9472947.p?id=1218111187874&skuId=9472947 ) was one of the ones that had reviews that it didnt work with Skype. What would make one non-compatible with Skype? This camera only works with Microsoft Live Messenger. It does not work with Skype. I am running Windows 7 64 bit, and it did not work right. I would get a Logitech instead, which works great. Don't buy it, unless all you used is Messenger. What's great about it: Nothing What's not so great: Does not work with Skype the logictech seemed to have good reviews. I am running Vista |

I am running Vista Bought the Logitech C910 for a Gateway Intel i-7 16 gb Win 7 pro machine. Wouldn't install properly. Ran to BB and got this MS webcam on sale for $69, down from $99; Load the MS driver included with the camera, connected to the internet and Skype was ready to go. Beautiful stunning color, sensitive microphone and it JUST WORKED right out of the box after a simple 10 minute install. Logitech needs to update their Win 7 drivers. They want you to mess with the MSCONFIG file and disable some stuff and do a "clean install"; reboot and reactivate what you deactivated. TOO MUCH BS for what should be a simple USB camera install. Great camera at a great sale price |
