N220 webcam – how does it work

[MikeM]

Hi, probably a stupid question,but how do you get the webcam to work? I can’t seem to see an obvous program to start it off.

MikeM – Welcome to the forum

Have you got Cyberlink YouCam software installed?
If so that should get you into the webcam.

Hope this helps

Welcome to the forum MikeM,

And Skype and MSN and Yahoo Messengers etc, can make use of it too.

As Tonytb says, if you run something like MSN messenger you should just be able to start a video call and it will automagically fire up!

Thanks for the replys. For info, canot see YouCam in the program files list. The camera seems to be installed in the hardware list and is “operating normally”. I’m not using MSN / Yahoo, so without signing up, not sure about them. Should I just sign up with one of these and see what happens? I’ll have a look to see how to download youcam software
