Applogies if you have already done it, but you have to set up the cam in your IM programme first for recognition, but i have got an Acer with a built in cam at home so i will try mine later as haven't used it yet within a IM programmea and get back to you later with results.

    I tried the cam in MSN Live and it started up with the stupid avatar faces, which i turned off and the cam worked within MSN.

    Check you have the cam enabled and set up in your IM programme.

Did you install the necessary drivers for the webcam. If not, use the CD that came with the laptop to install the drivers and then try to use it with Yahoo, etc..

I can not get the web cam to work

Instructions1 Take pictures independent of communications software on the Windows version of the netbook by using the webcam without connecting to networking software. Click the "Windows Start" menu and click "Acer Crystal Eye Webcam" in the Programs list. The webcam application should open and the camera should produce an initial warmup image. Use the buttons on the control panel to adjust image size or take photos.
2 Use the Instant Messenger program on the Acer Linux-based laptop or netbook to work the webcam. The Acer Instant Messenger program is available in the Connect folder on the Acer laptop's desktop screen.
3 To send and receive live video and pictures using your webcam on an Acer laptop, work the webcam through individual communications software, including Skype, Windows Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, or Google Video Chat. Open your selected communications software program and click the webcam button to work your webcam.
Thanks

How to video chat

Video chat is the service provided by different messenger softwares. It is not a feature of a laptop. For video chat you need a web cam and a messenger. All most every messenger in the market like Yahoo, MSN , Nimbuz , Skype offers video chat. Install any of the messenger, make an ID, invite the other person to make ID on that messenger. When you both are connected to that messenger then start the video call. If your laptop does not have a built-in webcam you can also purchase it separately. It is not very expensive.

I Have A Built In Acer Webcam And I Dont Know How To Youse it

If you have installed your webcam driver, you should see an item called "webcam console" in your system tray(next to the system clock). Launch the console by double clicking on it. You can then record video or take pictures using the console. If you don't have the driver installed
If you dont have the driver, you can download it from

How do I get to my webcam in my acer laptop d150 i like to be able to make a icon for the webcam on my desktop , so i can adjust the settings in it as well , as au moment i do not even know were it is or...

Read this FAQ from ACER:
How to use the built-in webcam? The integrated webcam can be used by third-party applications such as Yahoo Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, Skype etc. Use the webcam button in the messenger software and it will automatically turn on and start the webcam.
Select models of Acer netbooks also ship with a program "Acer Crystal Eye Webcam". This program will enable the webcam immediately after startup and can be used to take pictures and record video.

For our Linux-based netbook, you can find the Instant Messenger program in the "Connect" section on the desktop . Additional software like Skype, are available through our special website for the Aspire One netbook. Within the "Fun" section of your Linux desktop, you will find a program called "Webcam" which can be used to test the built-in webcam.


Look for "Acer Crystal Eye Webcam" entry in the programs menu, then right click on the program icon and click on "Send to the desktop as a shortcut".

Acer webcam

You need to click on [Start] then click on [My Computer] and then [Acer Crystal Eye Webcam] will show up then click on the [Camera]. If this does not work then it could be that the cam driver needs reinstalling or maybe faulty. Take it back to your dealer!

Dont know how to operate my web cam.I have a ASPIRE 5315 with the web cam built in

Use a software that you may have got installed. It must be something like YouCam, maybe.

Or use a chat software like Yahoo! Messenger, Skype or ICQ. They have webcam options for video calls. But you can't take photos or videos there.
