Does the microphone work during skype or computer based calls/video chats?

I am 100% sure that it won't work with computer both ways, since computers have separate jacks for headphone and microphone. But it works perfect with cellphone.

I have not had a problem with microphone in the past, but it works like charm when listening to music and making phone calls.

Yes it does and it works very well with Skype. I have not used for anything else, though.

No there's a mic already built in and it works with Skype, chatroulette, and the Lenovo video capture thing.

The simple answer is yes. I have found, the mic only marginally useful as it picks up not only the wearers voice but also the the surrounding 'noise'. Only useful in a one to one situation.

I got it to work for Skype, so I know that it will link up with Bluetooth that has mics built in, so I assume it will. I no longer have this devices, broke in couple months, but I have a similar device and I will check it out with the Microsoft voice recognition, and let you know.I have tested windows 7 speech recognition software with LG Tone HBS700 and got it to work. To get it to work you need to set it to default.

I've used skype with my headset on a laptop...it automatically set itself as default mic in my case. It's a pretty high tech little unit that I would have gladly paid $100.00 more for and still not been disappointed. I used it primarily for Team Speak however, which does not include video.

If you are using Skype try going into the tools to see if your microphone is turned on. Also, check the volume on your computer. I have had this problem and playing with the volume controls solved it. I hope this helps.

Hello Mike, I do not like the microphone.. You can hear the people talking to you but the people on the other end cannot hear you like your mike is muted. If you unplug it from your computer for 15 seconds the mike will work for another couple of hours then unplug it again then will work again. I wish this was a different answer for you but its how it works for me.

My mic works fine, so I assume it has something to do with the connection or what you are plugging it into, try it out on someone else's computer

Yes, I have used this very setup on a Skype call. Just make sure Skype is configured to use the Shure mic and headphones for output.

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 it worked well for that, however, when I used it for Skype the microphone was not sensitive enough to be heard.Have you used it for Skype and if so, how did it work?

Not that I am aware of, though mine seems to have a problem with the sound card because I cannot Skype on it. I have been asked to take it to the service centre to get that fixed. Perhaps when that's done, I might find it has voice recognition, but I doubt.

if you mean can you use this microphone to make calls with your computer, yes you can. Do you mean can you use it connected to a telephone?
