I loaded it into a new HP PC w/Windows 8. I did a Skype audio check & the audio works. Any way I can check the video/cam before I need it?

You should have received a CD with the webcam that has software called "Live! Central". Install that if you haven't already. You can check out the what the video looks like with that software. In other words, what others will see/what you will look like to others. It also has some other features which allow you to manipulate the video in different ways. I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you're asking. So, if this doesn't answer your question let me know.

Not sure if the drivers work with windows 8 I know it works with XP, Vista, and 7. Windows 8 I am unsure about.

I have had the same exact problem. Worked great for awhile; now just shows it is recording and doesn't register any sound. Would love to hear if anyone has a solution?

Is there any issue with using this web cam and the built-in microphone on my laptop? Hope not, it sounds like this is a suprisingly good product.

Yep. Tested Skype. Video works fine in both directions on this tablet. However, on previous tablet owned, had to download a previous version of Skype which solved the issue. Hope this helps.

In my case, Windows 7 recognized the camera right away. Try using a video chat program to see if windows look for the camera driver. To answer the other question, I was not able to find any program/drivers for this camera.

Just plug it in and it installs itself. Skype works great with it. I use it on Windows also.

I get a blue screen with nothing but audio when I connect my hi8 camcorder.

Hello, I just bought the same exact eee pc that your referring to from best buy and mine has the little plastic piece over the webcam and I have not been able to get it to work. I dont think our model has the webcam. They should say that more clearly on the box because it totally appears as though it comes with the webcam. Hope this helped.

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

You have to hook up the video cord for video then another cord that is usb goes from your pc to the monitor for the touchscreen function if that doesn't work make sure your system including video drivers is fully updated if it still doesn't work its broken

I have been able to use mine like a webcam by plugging it in then holding the button. Device manager sees it as a GVD and it works with skype.

I am having the same problem but suspect it involves the driver or settings and am checking that out first. I would not return it if that is your only problem. Wait til a few more join in the discussion or I find something more about where the problem is. I loaded Skype and it works right up to the point of detecting my voice.

Pretty sure you just use the usb cable to link to your PC and extract the file. Might need to set your cam to the video playback setting to do it. I haven't used mine for a long time, so it's hard to remember.

I just downloaded Skype for my Windows, and when I logged on it said to configure my webcam, so I'm guessing it picked it up. But, then Skype froze and I couldn't get it to work the rest of the night. So I'm just guessing that it works. I'll have to try again later. Hope this somewhat helps.

I tried it now on my win 8 laptop. Earphones were working great...I tried Skype test service and couldn't get the mike to work ...I did not find the TOOLS on Skype and no time to play with control panel sound on win 8. On desktop with win 7 ultimate it was very good. It did install easy

I haven't. I had to return it to Amazon as I could not get either the camera or the microphone to work. I have replaced it with another camera/microphone which works perfectly. I do not know if it was a defect in that particular unit or an incompatibility with my system software or hardware. My business is Data Processing consulting and I know a lot about the hardware and software on my PC and could not get it to work at all, so after many different trials, I gave up and purchased a similar but different unit and it worked the first time. No trouble at all.

I just had the cam on the base and connected the usb cable to my laptop. I think there's a setting in the camera that I had to select but it came up after it picked up the connection.
