Partake in a conference call with any webcam.
Skype is an Internet-based instant messenger and phone service that allows individuals to talk either via microphone or video conference with a webcam. If your business or place of work is planning on a conference call, it is important you follow the correct connection methods to join in on the call. This only requires a few clicks of your mouse to attend the online meeting.
Instructions
1. Launch Skype by either double-clicking its desktop icon or by selecting it from the "Start" menu.
2. Type in your username and password. A list appears on the side of the screen with all of the current online users. A green check signifies the user is online, and a small video camera icon next to the username shows the individual is capable of performing a video conference call.
3. Connect your webcam to the computer (if it isn't already) and select the "Options" menu in Skype. Chose the webcam features and select your connected webcam as the video device you want to use.
4. Click on the conference call username and a display box appears on the screen with your video on it. Once the other individual on the conference call accepts your request to join, you are able to see their faces (you may need to perform the connection with every user on the conference call if you want to see and here what they are saying and doing).
