Webcam does not show on web chat

Webcams come in a wide array of styles and designs, from the very simple to the elite, but they all have one thing in common:
They can be adjusted to match your mood at the moment and creative desires.
Open your web cam in a chat program, such as Skype.
Look for a link called "Preferences," where you will find webcam options you can adjust.
Choose the "Camera Settings" option and another window will open, labeled "Properties." There are more options here that can be adjusted.
Change a setting, such as brightness, by clicking on the slider mechanism with your pointer and dragging it.
These mechanisms are usually pretty sensitive, so be cautious when moving the settings.
Make sure that the image on your webcam is clear and in focus.

The manufacturer does not list this cam as compatible with Skype. However you can try adjusting it with the Skype settings.

Skype>Tools>Options>Video Settings> Webcam settings>

Check to see if the Camera Lensis adjustable. They usually are and can be turned Left or Right to FOCUS.
Hope this helps. Bud

some times you 1st need an invite to view persons cam.

Try this method;
I discovered that I can view chat room webcams by clicking on the name and selecting Send an Instant Message first, then on the IM box select View Webcam under Actions. (It just doesn't work when I click on their name in the chat room list and select View Webcam from there--unless their webcam says Open Webcam)
