Just tried it. Microphone works great for voice only phone calls on Skype. Also works well for video calls.

This camera works wonderful for Skype. I use it on my MacMini hooked up to my 50 inch plasma. The camera is very clear and the built in mic works well too. This camera is worthy of a 5 star rating for sure. I don't think you could find a camera better for $20 more.

Absolutely. I use it with Skype, iChat, Messages, and FaceTime. I have no other microphones attached to my computer and the sound is clear and loud.

yes microphone work just fine, i use it with Skype very often and no complains yet been using it for about 4 to 6 month. good luck

Yes, it recognizes the camera and mic as a single device. You just need to change it under the Preferences > Video menus.

Using Skype you can make video calls. Make sure your camera and mic are setup to list the Rocketfish camera and mic in the video configuration screen as some laptops with integrated webcam setup that as default.It works great with WinXP and Win7.

Yes, my mother uses it for Skype and it works very well. I was suprised by the quality of audio, it was very good.

It most certainly has worked for me. I have plugged my QC15's with the integrated mic into my windows 8 laptop, Samsung 10.1" tab 2 tablet, and also my Samsung Galaxy note 2 smartphone. In each of these machines, i have used Skype to make phone calls and it has worked fine.

Yes. I've used it on FaceTime only, so I'm sure Skype calls would work as well.

Hi .. this mic is only a mic. In order for you to use it with a phone you need a mixer/pre-amp of some sort with a phone interface. You can use it with Skype on your computer if you use a Blue Microhones Icicle XLR to USB Mic Converter/Mic Preamp - about $40 on Amazon. Then you can use it to talk to your callers and listen to them through your computer speakers. If you have a conference phone with an XLR connector this might work but I'm guessing not. Hope this helps. There is also a package on Amazon with 8 of these mics and a pre-amp that could work with a speaker phone as it has outputs that might match your phone system. Then you put a mic in front of each participant. There are push switches to talk buttons so unused mics can be turned off to eliminate background sounds. Hope this helps a bit. It is a pretty decent mic for the price. Enjoy.

Yes for audio. You can use it either be a headphone for sounds, or it can also use softphone clients like jabber to place calls. I don't have Skype, but I imagine it would work for that also. I love this headset. Has a very long life. And it can connect to all three devices but not at the same time. Work Phone(Special cable for phone might be needed), Laptop, and Cell phone(Blue tooth).

It works great with Skype. You can answer and hang up from the headset while using skype

We haven't use this device with Skype. I don't see why you could not use skype, but the front cam is only 0.3 MP plus it is a slower 3g phone, so it might not work very well.

Yes you can connect this to the usb port and use it to skype. Mine works very well

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.

Yes, there is a microphone that can be used for calls (I've used it with my iPhone).

I have skype on mine, but you will need ear buds or something. The internal speakers are not strong

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!

No, I don't see how. This jack is just for a microphone with an XLR connection. I don't think most setups for recording phone calls would use that kind of mic. On the other hand, it would work if you used the mic to record a call using the hands-free speaker function on your phone.

No it cannot. Not even an other version of Skype phone can be used. Mine was damaged and i had to ship it back. I don't recommend this product.

Yes you can, i bought it to fix my screen and was really happy with the outcome of the screen. When I tried to make a call, the microphone didn't work so I had to get a refund for it.

I have never tried this. My impression is that it can be used in any way that Skype can be used.

Skype worked well on mine, calling to a phone overseas without using the camera. The speaker is weak, though.
