Go to "Tools &gt; Options... &gt; General &gt; Video Settings" and select "VC500 Video" from the drop-down list labled "Select Webcam". Make sure that you have the proper drivers installed.

Yes skype works but the camera needs to have adequate lighting for you to show up properly to your distant end.

yes it does. Nothing to rave about though. It works fine with skype for me.

I'm certainly no expert, but it appears to be limited to Skype. I don't see enough functionality in it to allow for other VOIP services.

Yes indeed. Not the best quality though, but it does work well withing the latest versions of Skype. Good luck.

To be honest im not sure if skype would work. Based on the way its OS works and the limited access to popular apps, i would guess no. And even if u could download it, i dont think it would be practical or even functional.

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

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 got this product, installed using the latest skype (ver 5.3x) installed skypemate ver 5.0x (you gotta download it). I have windows vista home, running all the latest versions of skype and skypemate.My problems so far are:1. I hear music before I dial out and the music is there during conversations2. I have to use the computer to skypeout, i can't use the corded phone buttons3. When I call into the skype line, the phone doesn't ring, but I can answer and have conversation.Any help is appreciated

I haven't tried using one for Skype, but I would imagine if you could set the microphone to be an output as well as input it could work. I would check YouTube first before trying though.

IT WORKS! Thanks so much to L. Rabbit, Ben, and Victor for getting me on track. The D-Link Skype adapter is working using USRobotics drivers! Who would have thunk it? Your help is much appreciated. Fran

What is VOIP you using? Did you ever try changing the Bluetooth profile? If they work with Skype, I think they should work with others.

It supports Skype & Lync audio/video conferencing. I can't speak to anything beyond that.

This headset does not work with windows so there are two things you can do: Possibility one: download additional proprietory software (forgot the name... search the skype forum... I tried it free for a few days and it worked... lousily) Possibility two (recommended): return this headset and get one that works with windows.

Pretty simple! Whatever it is you're using, you have to go into the sound settings and set it as the default sound output device. So for PC, go to the Control Panel, Sound, and pick it under the playback tab. Same goes for it not working with any other application like Skype. But changing it in the control panel should fix for most, if not all!Should be listed as "USB audio device" .

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.

I just checked it out and have exactly the same problem. Turned both phone and router off and on, but still doesn't work. Skype on my PC seems to be working all right. What's going on?
