Using the Built-in Web Camera and Microphone
Your HP TouchSmart PC comes with a built-in Web camera
and array microphone located at the top and corners of
your display. You can use them to have video chats or make
conference calls over the Internet.
Having a video chat or making
conference calls
In order to set up a video chat, you must have a connection
to the Internet, an Internet Service Provider (ISP), and a
software that enables you to make video calls over the
Internet. Just like instant messengers, you can use this kind
of software to chat with one or more people at a time. You
can bookmark the chat contact or group and find it later
which is convenient for regular chats with family or business
contacts.
To set up a video chat:
1 Download an Internet messenger or video phone call software program. Make sure the person you are
calling has compatible video calling software.
2 Enable your Web camera as the default video input. This is usually done through the video setup in the
software program tools menu.
3 Send your video call by following the instructions of the video calling software program.
