they are a way of taking live video and sending it as data over the internet. the person watching on the other end can "see" you and watch you as you talk, type, dance or whatever you happen to be doing.
they are easy to use and most simply plug into a usb port on your pc.

They are quite cheap-about £15 $20 or thereabouts. You plug it into the pc, installl the software which is supplied. When your friend does the same you can see and talk in real time if you also have a microphone. There can be a little timelapse of a couple of seconds depending on connection speeds. It like chatting on the phone but you can watch each other "live" also.

Above good answers. A webcam is like a small video camera. Only it not have storage and send the video to your computer to transmit over the Inet. Mine has a button on top and I can take a picture too in jpg format and save it.
