First, I am not understand about Omegle, and Chatroulette. I bought this but I returned this. When it came, I install software then go online to update new software and firmware for my window 8 desktop. It don't have shortcut on desktop. When I test microphone, window left me a message like "Window did not recognize any sound." This webcam may be malfunction. I bought another used one (Logitech HD Portable 1080p Webcam C615) The use of my webcam just limited on video chat, take pictures and video. I am not know about games.

I use it for everything, Skype, Google Hangouts, video game live coms and it's always been wonderful so I say yes.

are you trying to use it on the mac or the pc? if on the pc, use the software disc it comes with. if on the mac, use the drivers from http://www.google.com/url?q=http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/downloads.html&sa=X&oi=smap&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=1&usg=AFQjCNEht2lVCHGePwIMRAr7nnm-BRaS5w they should work, but i'm not sure. To chat, you need either Yahoo Messenger (i think it has voice now), Skype, or iChat (with an AIM account). If you want to use the camera in ichat, you'll also need iChatUSBCam, here: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/ Caleb

Thanks for the reply, Bunjy....I just ordered it and was having doubts after reading many of the posts on this webcam...I feel relieved now.Thanks again,Charlie

Yep, works perfect for Yahoo Messenger, as well as Skype and every other function I've needed it for. Very happy with the quality, the way it supports itself is a nice feature, and the level of detail when up close to objects is great compared to most webcams. Hope this answers your question.

Hi,What is your operating system...PC window or Mac? I am looking for a camera that will work as a webcam also and it seems that Fujis are ones mentioned, but have not found any info on which cameras or how to hook up. I see no one replied to your posting, but wondered if you ever got the S700 to work as a webcam as i am very interested in this camera...thanks

best is go to their website and research. It took me a day to set it up. You have to configure both the cam and your internet provider's router to make it work.

Roger... The image quality on this is probably the best you can buy for a web cam. If you don't mind spending extra, just get the retail box model with the CDs and whatnot. There other plug and play items out there from Microsoft which will take all the guesswork out of getting a webcam going... just sacrificing a SMALL amount of image quality.

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.

Gadgetjq: Great post... but my problem is that I disabled my webcam (thinking to save HD space from something I wouldn't use) and now want it back (now I'm a grandmother going on a trip!) It doesn't appear under My Computer at all. Can I get it back??Thank you for any help!

Check youtube for a better preview it's worth it. Works well no problems. Even though it wasn't for me I'm glad I got it for someone as a gift.

I bought it for that reason. I used a Microsoft LifeCam Studio webcam and the signal was good. I would recommend!!

plugged my in and it automatically set itself up. I have Win 7 ultimate. My cam worked fine right from the start. Good luck

Good question, my wife has the same problem on her PC, I don't on parallele windows on Apple. Now if you want to ear and see live and if you have iPad or iphone, you have IP Cam viewer, work great and free, the set up is simple.Luc

Yes, I also recommend IP Cam Viewer as it works with a great many camera models.The web interface also works just like it does on any normal PC too.

It's not useless, but I would not recommend purchasing b/c Looxcie has pretty much stopped supporting its consumer line of wearbles. I also found the video to be of poor quality even when set to record in HD. Go with a newer cam.

"Best?" ? Who knows which webcam is best for your needs? But let me quote a couple of the reviews of this webcam:"....I purchased 4 of these Logitech 961400-0403 Quickcams for use with friends over Skype because of the price, performance and features. The resolution is very good for VOIP,...."".... Once I figured out how to adjust the resolution, it has worked well with SKYPE and...."
