How do you turn on built in webcam on my vaio laptop?

Answer 1

To turn on an HP webcam:

1. Go to QuickPlay (press the blue-lighted button above the F3 key (or next to the power button)).

2. When QuickPlay shows up, there is a row of six icons across the bottom of the screen: click on the second one from the left (the one with the photo-movie_reel-music_notes).

3. A window with three 'frames' shows up. On the left frame there are six items: the fifth one should say 'HP Webcam'. Click on it.

4. The webcam's blue LED light should now be turned on. There should be a rectangle with dimensions of ratio 1:2 which should show what the camera is sensing.

5. There is a row of seven buttons above that rectangle: the seventh is for taking snapshots and the sixth for recording videos.

6. Videos and pictures are saved at:

Pictures -- C:\Users\Public\Public Pictures\My Snapshots

Videos -- C:\Users\Public\Public Videos\HP Webcam

sometimes it doesnt say "hp web cam" it says "usb video device"

its only on a laptop by the way

lol
