I tested the quality of the microphone on three different DAWs(digital audio workstations, which are used to create professional audio, mostly music-related), and I can't say that I'm impressed. The quality of my voice was good, but there was an annoying buzz heard in the background(and whenever my voice isn't heard).

It works with standard windows drivers, so you don't need software to use it with Skype. If you want to record then you will need to get some kind of recording software. Recording length will depend on the software you get.

yup. use it to skype with friends while gaming all the time. however it does pick up noise from farther away too, so if you're looking for something super high quality, i'd recommend something else

Hi Emily, the video quality is fine for YouTube. It is already shooting at 12.1 megapixels and you can change the resolution to 1920x1080 if you want the highest quality. Comparatively you only need a 3-5 megapixel camera to upload to the web so you're fine. Also if you upload at the highest quality Youtube will compress it to make it a smaller file anyways.Sound is not the best as with most point and shoots, best to get an external mic if you want better sound quality. Hope that helps.

Yes, I am also a youtuber. I got this because the video on it is better than the three, but its best for taking pictures around 5k res, The video and audio sound great, I have had no problems, at all, or any complaints, If I were you, id go on ebay, and get the cheap generic brand 2 pack batteries for this also, becuase it helps a ton when your out some place taking pictures, the one I got was under 20 bucks, and it even came with adapters, and a car charger.

The onboard video will be fine for Minecraft, just make sure you have enough ram to share with it.

In a word Yes. I only ever shot one video just to see how it worked and the sound seemed weak. Never played on my computer though but did read that others had your same experience as you. Battery saving feature??

They work fine with the PS4, but there's no mic. I attached a ModMic and used an adapter to make it a fully functional gaming type headset. I've never used it with Skype, but the same comments about the mic apply (although you wouldn't need an adapter if you're skyping on a computer). You can get a cheap adapter on Amazon, but the ModMic isn't available on Amazon yet. There are also cheaper mic solutions on Amazon.

I don't know the quality of mic or webcam. The Start menu has a button for getting started on Skype.

No its a piece of garbage, u get what u pay for. I connected to laptop, I recorded my voice but it still has poor quality. Don't waste your money.

I use it for gaming and commentary and it's great if you are recording, or if you have other people making noises around you because it cancels it out and only records you however this mic is very low. That is a common complaint about it, no matter how many settings I try to adjust, there's no way to increase the volume any more. I have a hard time talking in game, and everyone says my mic is too low. I gave it to my boyfriend who now uses it to record his songs, and play acoustic guitar. For this purpose it works flawlessly with great sound. I recommend the Blue yeti for gaming and commentaries, my gamer friend swapped from the snowball to this, and I plan on doing so too.

I do not have a specific experience with skype and a conference room use of the Sony Blue Tooth mic. I used the mic on my camcorder videoing a church service. The Sony Blue Tooth mic was excellent. The recorder sound was with 100% clarity.

Yes, it works OK for recording but you have to make sure you do it in a place without any noise since the mic picks up any sound around it... Where I have my system there is an old computer about 15 ft. away from mine and I can hear it in the recordings I have done. I guess the best would be to have it in a sound proof room.

Yes. I am a YouTuber and use this and it sounds crystal clear. I also use this on a desktop, like you mentioned

No you can't record. It's good for Netflix, yourube, file sharing, music playing

No it won't work for recording. I even used a mic that was not the Livescribe one and it didn't work well at all.

you can but this will not run minecraft well. if you need help finding a better laptop, let me know. tomorrow they should have some good sales and you should be able to get a pretty good laptop at decent prices.
