Best Answer

yes. The chat or video recording software you use should have a place to select the input source to use. The builtin camera will be one choice and any additional cameras that you have plugged in and installed drivers for will be other choices.

How do you hook up your IBM laptop to an external monitor?

If the IBM laptop you use has a VGA port you just connect your monitor cable directly to the port. Then turn on the laptop and it should install the drivers needed to use the external monitor automatically.
