I tried a lot but it does not accept Cam or cam of phone as camera for skype.. What I did not try was wireless ? (Wifi) camera. Multi usb hub works well also wireless keyboard mouse work nicely.

Tried to install Skype on Kyros MID7024. It installs but crashes when trying to sign in. Others had the same experience. My conclusion at this time that it does not work. If you are successful let us know.

My MacAir can see the camera connected but no picture. I can use Skype select the camera and get a 2" square picture. I have searched for camera drivers without success.

It may not be compatible with Skype. And don't worry mine doesn't work either

Yes it does. When I bought I was using windos 7 on my PC and have since updated to windows 8 and even 8.1 (Pre- release) and have found the camera to work with all versions. When using Skype, make sure to go to settings and select the midrophone for the camera as default,

I haven't. I had to return it to Amazon as I could not get either the camera or the microphone to work. I have replaced it with another camera/microphone which works perfectly. I do not know if it was a defect in that particular unit or an incompatibility with my system software or hardware. My business is Data Processing consulting and I know a lot about the hardware and software on my PC and could not get it to work at all, so after many different trials, I gave up and purchased a similar but different unit and it worked the first time. No trouble at all.

We have a 58 inch Viera TV and the camera only worked partially. It would freeze or not work at all and seemed to get worse over a period of day. Not sure if it was the camera or Skype but it did not work sufficiently well to keep, so we returned the camera. Skype seems to work fine in our house with either a Kindle, smart phone or computer, so we think it is the integration in the camera and since that is its only use for the camera we sent it back.

I have been able to use mine like a webcam by plugging it in then holding the button. Device manager sees it as a GVD and it works with skype.

Hi - video importing doesn't work for me. I'm using Win 7 pro....not home premium. I'm using the latest version of PMB (5.2), it simply does not recognize the camera connection at all. I've tried connecting it to 2 computers and used different USB ports. I'm out of ideas.

Yes, it works on our Windows 8, 64-bit computer. However, the camera never achieves its "ideal" focus, and seems to go in and out for the entirety of our video chats. Our friends have simply gotten used to it at this point, but I can see how it would bother some people. Otherwise it works great and is the clearest webcam I've used!

That is so helpful!! I have been trying to figure that out for a while for skype and stuff because my friends cant see me when i get online. I have a flip camera and i was trying to see if you could use it as a webcam! THANKS!!!

I am having same problem, tried the fix that Sam suggested, laptop does not find the camera. What do you mean by "pressing play?" I don't see "play" within the software. Thanks for any help you can give.
