Does it supports Chrome Browser? Does it has an optional camera for video conferencing? Does it supports WebRTC over Chrome Browser?

It does support Chrome browser, Chrome is the built-in browser that comes standard on the television. I do believe you can add on an optional camera for video conferencing, I don't know for sure since I haven't tried, but I'm pretty sure you can. I do not believe it can support WebRTC, at least I didn't see anything in the manual for it, but again, haven't tried so I can't say for 100% sure. Hope this helps!

It does have a built in webcam. I am not sure about microphone. I use a headset for my work. Otherwise it's a beautiful machine! I bought 2 of them!

Yes it does have a webcam. The speakers are decent. They don't buzz or sound tinny but they are laptop speakers so they aren't terrific.

I use a great free program called "iSpy". I have 2 pairs of different branded cameras working on iSpy at the same time. From what I understand, you can have many more than that. The list of cameras this software supports is huge. I'd say you'd have a hard time finding a camera not supported. It does take a little reading to understand, but there are a ton of youtube and other help guides out there. Once you get it set up and running, I'd also recommend Google Chrome's new Remote Desktop. I use this to check on the camera's/house when I'm away from home on my phone. I used to use TeamViewer, but Chrome Remote Desktop has been a much better experience. All of this software is free and iSpy is CONSTANTLY being improved upon and updated. The team of people working on iSpy are some truly talented people.

Yes, it does have a webcam. You cannot use skype but google+ hangouts is far better than skype. I have had this computer for about 3 months and love it. It's just about perfect.

It's a plugin and play BUT you need some software ~ if you're using skype you just have to set skype to use it in it's Options if you're using it for streams or recording you may want to look into Bandicam or Manycam Softwares

Trust me when I tell you... This will run on chrome. I run all 4 of my cams through chrome. You just have to allow it through your pop-up, and you have to install "IPWEBComponents" in which it will tell you when you try to log in that you don't have the extension (Assuming that you don't since you probably haven't ran the cam before on your system)... not the user friendliest on the planet, but works well once you have them set up

No it cannot serve as a webcam. The USB port is read only and the HDMI and AV ports connect only to a TV for playback.

"Sony® digital still cameras are not supported for use as a Webcam. To video conference, use a dedicated Webcam or video camera that supports this function."So says Sony. I did find mention of some other Sony models with a specific jack working. After market -I don't know

Sorry, this machine is used by my partner who uses it to watch movies/videos and a little web browsing. I have not used the machine myself and was not aware that it had a webcam - will have to take a look. Sorry I can't help.

It has Safari on it but you can not use all the features of Google Chrome or the new version of Safari and some videos will not work.

It is for UStream. If you are want to broadcast a videochat website. This isn't what you are looking for.

Yes, but you need a separate program for it. I don't still have the disc for it (did it even come with a disc?) but Skype saw it as a normal webcam in Win7 64bit. I happened to try this out just yesterday.

It has a camera, not a very good one (lo-res pixel count). I'm not aware of it being able to take video.
