Will there be a conflict with a Logitech webcam with a mic? I will be using this for Skype video conferences on a PC.

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.

No problem. I use mine with a Logitech cam. The head seat is better if you move a lot or have to go away from the pc. You only need to chance the mic source in the Skype menu.

I can only speak as a Windows 7 user with a Microsoft Webcam with a mic: Windows 7 allows you to choose which of several mic will be the "active" mic. For Skype by making the Logitech headset the "active" mic in Windows 7, Skype follows the leader 90% of the time. The remaining 10% I remind Skype that the headphone mic is the mic to listen to. Sorry I'm late getting back to you -- I blame the snow...like I blame "computer viruses" for every dumb thing I do with my computer that doesn't work.

I am not sure, but I believe you can select the microphone you want to use via Skype 'Options'., making the mike on the headset the preferred microphone the programme uses.

This Headset is Garbage. A coworker warned me prior to purchase. She informed me that the structure of this device seemed to be defective in the way it was designed. She said that 2 months into the purchase that the headset snapped in two. I bought it anyway because I had never had issue with logitech products in the past. Low and Behold just as she warned I slide the headset off and I heard it crack with in mater of days it had snapped in the same place as the coworker. The design is defective on this one, and I wouldnt purchase them again. I dont have money to give away

PS I like this headset because it's the lightest I can find that remains comfortable for hour-long web conferences. I can walk around and even go to another room and it remains clear. However, you do need to handle with care as it could snap, as Fred here wrote.

I recommend going to your machine's control panel and selecting the headset for audio input and output instead of the webcam.

Funny, mine said there are "known compatibility issues" with this and it has caused some conflicts for me on my Dell 9000 Windows 7Pro system. I am going to try to hook it up through my XP PC and see if it has conflicts there as well.Seems Logitech should have been able to fix this "known compatibility issue" with Windows 7 by now!

I've only used this with Skype. I just plugged it in and then went into the video settings in Skype and selected the camera. Worked fine.When I've used this for meetings, my team requested that I use a headset for audio instead of the camera, as the sound is much clearer that using the camera mic.

Yes but I am getting a messages that a Logitech driver is needed for optimal windows operation and one does not seem to be available for this webcam. no software driver comes with it. I have tried to use it on 2 systems with 2 different pieces of video software and have had issues with hesitation/skipping in the playback with MP4 format. Support is offshore and has not been any help. I am using windows 7 pro.

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!

My mouse is one of three M310 mice in the room, and so far there has been no interference. If you wanted both mice to go to one computer, Logitech has some software that allows you to do just that. The mice will be separate with no interference if you don't make changes to them though!

Never tried the mic in that specific situation. My experience is you can control the recorded sound level very well using the db-switches on the mic (-10db, 0 db and +20db) in combination with the mic recording level serting on the camcorder. So with a bit of thinking in advance of what sound level you can expect and setting the switches accordingly, you should be allright.

Very doubtful; I couldn't even get it to work properly on a PC. I returned it for a prompt refund, and replaced it with a Logitech C210 webcam. I've been very happy with it, and I believe that Logitech will work on all platforms.

Hi Leslie, I bought this mic more than a month ago for my own personal use and I have never tried using it on a conference call with many people. But so far, I am happy with the performance of this mic on Skype. The my voice is very clear on this mic.

I don't know the quality of mic or webcam. The Start menu has a button for getting started on Skype.

I've used both with no issues. It seems to be a very good microphone for its price.

I seriously doubt it. Most computers will support both a USB mouse and Keyboard. and if the Bluetooth adapter for the mouse is built in, I would expect there to be absolutely no conflict. That said, I haven't tried it and with all the different motherboards out there, it might not be proof positive for your situation even if I had.

There's a setting in the software when you open the WebCam to allow you to use your mic instead of the installed mic with WebCam. The built in mic does work ok but your mic may be stronger.

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.

I would buy a splitter to split the 2 channel audio from the mic. Having all three in one plug could cause issues. That is what I do to get an audio connection to my computer.

Never wanted to do that but I found a pretty good web link that tells you how to it. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/webcam-c160?osid=14&bit=32 Good luck with it.
