In most cases, the webcam will plug into a USB port. if you have a laptop, the USB port will be on the side of the base of the laptop. If you have a desktop computer, the USB port will be in the actual computer (the big box that goes on the ground, and you put CD-ROMs in.) there will usually be USB ports in front, and in back of it. Hope this helps!!!

If it needs to be plugged in, my guess would be that it'd need to be plugged into one of your computers USB ports.

The USB ports should be located at either the front or back of your box, or sometimes both.

See the Related Links below for the USB symbol you should see where the port is on your computer box.

That is where you plug your web cam in.

Almost all web-cams these days come with a USB plug. Simply find a vacant USB port and 'plug & go' ! If your laptop already as a built-in web-cam, you might have to switch between the two - For example, I use Paltalk and sometimes I need to use an external web-cam instead of the built-in one - Paltalk gives me the option to switch between the two cameras.

You can not hook up an web-cam to an iPod or ipod touch and so i think... You are in the wrong category.

Yes you can ! There are many models of separate web-cam available from any good computer shop. Some computers (such as the lap-top I'm using now) have a web-cam built in -lots of them don't. I have a spare, separate web-cam, that I used to use with my old computer before I bought this one.
