hi, just bought a mac book and was just wondering if there is any way of using the built in webcam on it?

Answer 1

I have a MacBook and I do use the iSight cam, not understanding your question?

EDIT - It can also be used with Skype.

Answer 2

Sure. The webcam is located on the top center of the mac book. To use it, look at your tools bar. (On screen, located at bottom, where you find Safari, etc.) Scroll your mouse along it, and find the thumbnail that looks like a stage. Click that. This program is your pictures, or videos, that you can take and make. If you would like to instant message with your webcam, log onto your Mac IM (comes with it) and look next to peoples screen names. If it has a picture of a green video camera, with 3!!! icons of the green video camera, they are able to chat with you. Just click on the green icon.

Answer 3

no longer except you've particular Microsoft programmes on your macbook. the most modern-day MSN for Mac (for use without Microsoft programmes) don't have the means to apply a webcam. Skype for Mac works with the webcam yet of route no longer Msn.

Answer 4

Open up an Application called Photo Booth. (or iChat if you want to use it to video conference with people)

Answer 5

To use the built-in iSight camera to video conference, you must have the following:

A .Mac, America Online (AOL), or AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) account (required for iChat AV).
A broadband Internet connection that uses a DSL or cable modem, or a local area network (LAN). You can't use a dial-up Internet connection for video conferencing.
Someone to video conference with! (You can video conference with any iChat AV user who also has video conferencing capability.)
To start a video conference:

Open iChat AV.
Click the Camera button next to an online buddy in your Buddy List.
Make sure that "Camera Connected" is enabled in the Video menu.
The green LED next to your built-in iSight camera will light, indicating that it's capturing video. At the same time, iChat sends an invitation to your buddy to participate in a video chat, while allowing you to preview and primp your appearance on your screen. Once your buddy accepts the invitation, you'll see your buddy on your screen and you'll appear on his or her screen!

Video conferencing with more than one buddy
You can video conference with up to three buddies at a time. One buddy "hosts" the video conference, while the others are participants. To host a video conference with more than one buddy, follow these steps:

Open iChat AV.
While holding down the Command () key, select the buddies you want to invite to the video conference in the Buddy List.
Click the Camera button at the bottom of the Buddy List window.
Turning off your built-in iSight camera
To turn off the built-in iSight camera, just close the active iChat window. The green LED next to the camera will go dark, indicating that the built-in iSight camera is off and no longer capturing video.

Taking pictures to use as your buddy icon
You can use your built-in iSight camera to take a picture of yourself to use as your buddy icon. Anyone who has you in their Buddy List will be able to see your smiling (or grouchy) mug.

To do this:

Open iChat AV.
From the Buddies menu, choose Change My Picture.
In the resulting Buddy Picture window, click the Camera button next to "Take Video Snapshot."
Say "cheese" and voila—instant mug shot!
