Can it be used as a webcam for video conferencing?

I have not used that feature except to test the video. I do not know if it can record sound. I don't recognize a microphone anywhere. I am not sure it can connect live with the internet, either. If you seek that, you might want to contract Olympus about that. Sorry I could not be of more help. I have not looked into the manual in a big way. I just take pictures and its wonderful for that.

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.

No, It would not be worth the effort to try and do that. It is a very basic camera and requires old technology. It is cheap and effective if you are wanting to watch the front desk or something of that nature.

I had it set up for live video's, but had to have an IT guy set it up. I my opinion it is to difficult for the average computer user to do himself. The camera itself worked for a couple of weeks and then quit altogether.

I really don't think so... there seems to be a tiny bit of development going on for that, but Android really doesn't come with any kind of drivers to support webcams. I tried this myself and could not get anything to work.

It should be able to do Skype, but you might want to do some comparison shopping.

you can certainly use google hangouts for video conferencing. Probably not skype since it is a microsoft program and requires drivers that do not exist on the fast and lean chromebox. It is very nice system. I use it in my RV

Just looking at it, I would assume you could. Mine is connected to my computer, but I have also used it on Skype.

I would not. I use it in as an additional screen to my main screen. It's great for text, but I wouldn't use it for video.

Yes. The webcam is a standard 2mp definition with a decent transfer frame rate.

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.

Yes it can but the quality is nowhere close to todays standard. Might be good for online video chat but not much else. I believe I read somewhere that it is 0.3 megapixel

sorry it took me so long to get back to you...I think it has video/camera, so I dont see why not. you'd have to download the "Skype" app. but you should be able to use it..

You would need some video capture software. This is NOT a USB or IP camera.

my guess is yes, it is just a cam and mic that i like a lot, but i use mine with my desktop which has skype.

Yes you can, there is built in web server but i strongly advise you get some software and set up external to camera.

Internet service can be used with the camera. Large amounts of video can be recorded and, if needed, downloaded to the computerhttp://www.tenm3.com/blogs/?p=176
