Can i use logitech to skype a/c - Logitech Quickcam Chat Webcam

Launch the Logitech QuickCam or Webcam software on your computer. Verify that you see yourself Logitech Webcam software window. Close the software window. Sign in to Skype. Click the "Tools" menu and select "Options." Click "Video Settings," check the "Enable Skype Video" and "Start my video automatically when I am in a call" boxes. Select your Logitech QuickCam from the drop-down list. Your webcam should display video in the window. Click "Audio Settings" if your QuickCam has a built-in microphone and select it from the microphone drop-down list. Check the "Let Skype adjust my audio settings" box in "Audio Settings" so Skype recognizes your microphone. Click "Save" to save the options for your audio and video settings. Skype will close the options menu.

The easiest thing to try is just disabling "Communication_Helper.exe" in Skype. Go to Skype / Tools / Options / Advanced, and at the bottom you will see text that says "manage other programs' access to Skype". Click that and you'll get a window, which should list "Communication_Helper.exe". Deny access to that (don't remove it, because it will just come back), and try your call again.

Be aware, however, that this is only a quick fix and does not solve the problem. When Logitech and Skype have problems like this, they can be pretty big ones, and can cause performance problems as well as interface problems.

The Logitech QuickCam application software is not required for the Logitech Camera to function properly in Skype. If you are not using the QuickCam application for anything else, then you should seriously consider uninstalling it.

That will solve this problem, and various other potential problems and performance issues, permanently.

To uninstall it just go to Control Panel / Add or Remove Software (or Uninstall a Program in Vista/7), find "Logitech QuickCam" (NOT Logitech Camera drivers), and uninstall.

Then reboot to get rid of the background processes, and test Skype again.

Yes, I have a Logitech WEBcam (not the same model) and I use Skype.
After you installed Skype then :-
To test if the Logitech QuickCam is functioning, check the USB cable; make sure it is connected properly. Then click on Start - All Program - Logitech - Logitech QuickCam and see if you can get the camera to capture your image/video.
If this works then the fault is with the Skype configuration. Sometimes the WEBcam settings drop off and the WEBcam need to be selected again. Open Skype - Tools - Options - Video Settings and select the Logitech QuickCam
Also check the Audio Settings for the Microphone THEN click on Save.
Avoid connecting the WEBcam to an USB hub.

Hi, Unfortunatly since the skype version 4 the Logitech Skype IP Phone is not longer supported. You will not be able to sync the contact from skype to phone, and might not be able to connect as well. Thanks and have a nice day

I found this problem on my computer.
I had connected the Logitech into a USB hub then connected the hub to the computer's USB port. Then saved the configuration in Skype didn't work, every time I opened Skype I had to configure the microphone and video setting in Skype again.
The FIX. connected the Logitech direct into the computer's USB port and configured the Skype - Logitech microphone and video save settings. No more problems

Saw this on the Logitech forum the guy went back to an earlier version of Skype to make it work
There was also an issue with some cams not working very well in a 2.0 USB socket.
