You may need to load a driver into your computer before your computer reconizes your webcam. Ususally this driver is software on a CD/DVD. If you acquired your webcam secondhand from a private party and you weren't given the CD/DVD, you may be able to download it from the manfacturer's website; sometimes for free.

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.


Can you see the person sitting at the computer?

Assuming you mean "can the person I'm chatting to online see me or can I see the person I'm chatting to?" The answer is sometimes. Many chat programs have the ability to integrate web cameras, or "web cams." Web cams allow the computer with the web cam to show its user to another person. If you want to see someone that person should have a web cam. If you want someone to see you, you need a web cam.

Can you use a Ubisoft webcam for your computer?

Web cams are hardware/software combinations that stream live video or transmit frequently changing still images to a Web page. These instructions assume you already have a Web site up and running. Get a videoconferencing camera, digital still camera or digital camcorder to use as your Web cam. Connect your Web camera to the computer. Install the Web cam software. Install server software if you plan to transmit images in real time. Connect to your Internet service provider (ISP). Follow the instructions in the Web cam software to begin transmitting images.
