Can the QuickCam Pro 9000 just work like a speakerphone? 2 questions: 1) On occasion, if I don't want to use the video camera functionality of the QuickCam Pro 9000, can I use it just to make regular VoIP calls using Skype (no video, only audio)?

Yes and yes. 1. You can make just voice VOIP calls with Skype and just Logitech's microphone and your existing speakers. It is a free call worldwide from computer to computer. It is an inexpensive call to a "regular" phone if you have purchased Skype Out. 2. Yes you can turn the video off or replace it with a still JPG file of your choice instead of showing live output. I often use "wallpaper" instead of the camera image. Magnified velcro (my current favorite background) is more aesthetically appealing than my face!

Correct, you can't hear them and they can't hear you. When I first bought this camera I assumed since it "worked with Skype" and since the cameras have built in speakers and microphones, that there would be support for 2-way audio, or at least 1-way audio. Unfortunately there is neither.I guess on the plus side if you set Skype to auto-answer like I decided to do, you can't have grandparents and such calling in to the camera and waking up your baby or overhearing a private conversation going on in the room.

As I only use mine for skype, and had no issue with using it just plugging it into the computer right out of the box, I can't help with this question.

Where does your audio come from? You can put it near a speaker to record that. When I want to record something on speakerphone, I take it out of my ear and lay it on the telephone speaker. It records that well and also records my voice if I speak out loud into the speakerphone. If the online training is on your PC, couldn't you record the audio directly?

I've only used this for a real video camera. I don't think it works with Skype unless you were using a Sony video camera for your conversation, which would seem to be a big mess to me. Better keep this with the camera itself. Sounds great in that regard.

My vx5000 works OK but not with Skype. If I remove the camera software from my PC then Skype picks up the camera and works fine, but then if I select the VX5000 wothout Skype it doesn't work

It's a plugin and play BUT you need some software ~ if you're using skype you just have to set skype to use it in it's Options if you're using it for streams or recording you may want to look into Bandicam or Manycam Softwares

Hi Yuri - Did Amazon ever reply to your query on shipping you a different/older model than advertised? I want to purchase the portable webcam C905 as advertised, but it would suck if they're still sending out the older product - in which case I'll look into the logitech webcam pro 9000.Can anyone confirm whether or not Amazon has started to ship the NEW C905 versus the old version? Thanks!

It's VOIP as far as I can tell. I use mine with Skype without any problems. I don't know how online classes work, but maybe there's a way to modify the mic settings in the class' software. Or maybe it's just not compatible with whatever software the class uses.

Yes it work as a speakerphone but you have to connect the cable, and No there is no buit in mic. Basically it's just a plain speaker.

"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...."

Instructions say can be used for HD video recording, so I think you can use it for what you want it for. I don't know how it's done and don't see specific instructions for that function. Perhaps you can find them online, or contact someone at microsoft, or simply at BestBuy. Hope that helps! It's a very good camera for skype. That's what I use it for.

Hi, I am looking to buy a mic to attach to the accessory shoe on the Camcorder. Can I use any mic or do I need to buy a Panasonic mic only? Please recommend a good brand if I can use any off-the-shelf mic. Thanks!

Hello, I purchased one of these and ended up with an identical problem. I returned it to the seller and bought the Phillips VOIP model and base which sadly are discontinued. As for this phone you're experiencing trouble with, the best thing to do is to purchase the base intended for it. If not, there are other products available on the market which include a camera in the handset, though they are more expensive. I hope this explanation helps a bit. Kind regards and God bless.
