How do I take pictures or videos using my webcam?

Question

I'm hopeless on computers and despite me trying to figure it out, I can't. Help please!

If it's relevant, I have a windows vista and intel pentium...?

Thanks for all help anyone can give me!

Answer 1

Sorry if I ask a stupid question, but did you install the software that came with the web cam? On the supplied CD.  The software help info would surely tell you how to capture images or videos.

Read the manual!

Answer 2

OK OPEN THE QUICK PLAY , You might also have that button on your keyboard and from there select videos and music, and under there you would find webcam so proceed from there.

I hope I helped you.

Answer 3

If you can see yourself on the screen then it is easy enough to take a picture by going to start, type in 'snipping tool' and then you should be able to take a .jpg of the screen or any part of it. If however you can't see yourself simply type in AMCAP into the start search, and if it doesn't come up then google it.
