How to use samsung n102 webcam

Hello Richard, if you have the optional web cam installed on your Samsung N102 notebook, then you may also have the optional Cyberlink YouCam software installed to work with the web cam. There are also tutorials available for this software at the link given.If you do not have the Cyberlink YouCam software, then there are several methods of using the web cam - you can use any of the instant messenger chat programs such as Yahoo Messenger or Windows Live Messenger that support video chat sessions. Alternatively, you can use the free Yawcam software which will let you use your web cam in a variety of ways.

I have a sony vaio with built in web cam and windows 7 but i cant use the web cam . why is that?

Are you using the Sony Webcam companion? If not ou can download the application from Sony Vaio website. ( Sony Web Cam Companion ). If you are trying to use skype or any other video messaging software: Try to check if there are other video chat application running in the background of your computer. Open the system configuration utility (Windows key + R > msconfig ) then go to the Startup Tab. Uncheck all application that is related to video chat and leave the preferred video chat software active (checked). Restart the computer and viola! You can now use your webcam for video chat.

Web cam

Oh, there are a bunch of ways to put it to use:

Use a software that came with it: You must have got a pre-installed software with the laptop when you removed it from the box. It must be YouCam or something. You can even use Windows Movie Maker (to even capture videos).

Use a chat software: A chat software like Yahoo! Messenger, Skype, ICQ, Live Messenger or Google Talk will use the webcam for a video chat with someone.

I am haveing a trouble with my web cam

If your web cam is working on the unit itself but fails to open on chats or messengers, do this:
1. Turn off UAC (user access controls), it should be on control panel, user accounts.
2.Test your webcam if it would work now on chats, if not, proceed
3. Download the latest chicony web cam software on support.toshiba.com (you must select your exact model)
4.After downloading, go into programs and features on control panel and uninstall the camera software
5. Install now the downloaded camera software
6.Test your cam, it should work now

Hope this helps...

Acer crystal eye webcam

First thing you need to install AOL messenger so you can enjoy chatting with your friends while you chat with them. In the AOL messenger you can start your cam. There should be an icon of the software that runs your camera on your desktop. Use that to take pictures and save on a specified file location then after that enjoy sending e-mails or chat with your friends with your cam. Let me know if you have further questions.

Web cams

You need to find a video chat program that you are comfortable with. Most of the major Instant Messenger programs have been adding video chat to their features over the last couple of years. Check this link for a good summary of current products and some excellent advice and reviews. http://video-chat-im-software-review.toptenreviews.com/ They favour windows live messenger - just be sure that whichever program you choose will support your camera, and will work on your PC. If you need help using the software, please ask again once you have decided which to use and we can try to help, but the majority of them are reasonably easy to set up and use. Hope this helps :)
