I tested the quality of the microphone on three different DAWs(digital audio workstations, which are used to create professional audio, mostly music-related), and I can't say that I'm impressed. The quality of my voice was good, but there was an annoying buzz heard in the background(and whenever my voice isn't heard).

I've only used this for a real video camera. I don't think it works with Skype unless you were using a Sony video camera for your conversation, which would seem to be a big mess to me. Better keep this with the camera itself. Sounds great in that regard.

It's a very good vocal recording device. I use it for weekly podcasting. I've never recorded with a snowball device

Hi Emily, the video quality is fine for YouTube. It is already shooting at 12.1 megapixels and you can change the resolution to 1920x1080 if you want the highest quality. Comparatively you only need a 3-5 megapixel camera to upload to the web so you're fine. Also if you upload at the highest quality Youtube will compress it to make it a smaller file anyways.Sound is not the best as with most point and shoots, best to get an external mic if you want better sound quality. Hope that helps.

Yes it does record gameplay but as far as I know it doesnt record your voice if you were planning on doing a live commentary. You should find a voice recording software ( I recommend audacity) you just record what you want to say while your watching the video that you recorded then you drag and drop the audio track into your video editing software.

Yes the microphone is good. You can use it with Skype, Voxer, Robin, and many other apps that require a microphone. I see that someone talked about the battery life. Well, in my opinion it has a good battery life. I charge it at night, and I take to class. I look at my presentations, navigate on the web, play games, use facebook and twitter, and the battery lasts me the whole day. It lasts me around 7 hours using continuously (non-stop)

This is a very limited computer, it has a web cam with less than average quality. Of course you can record videos with it and upload them to youtube, but again they are low quality. More advanced video processing, editing, may be out of the league of this laptop.

once you have it set up on your computer and it's a recognized device.. the answer is yes. no problem. You will need an application that will be able to record what you say. for example recorder on windows can do this just fine. Just remember to speak clearly into the microphone. or you will get lots of errors. good luck and have fun. it's a nice microphone. I got it for my Mom so we can use skype to talk on for free.

No its a piece of garbage, u get what u pay for. I connected to laptop, I recorded my voice but it still has poor quality. Don't waste your money.

yes, and quite good one. It is especially good for interviews, recording concerts, musical bands, etc. I recommend to check on youtube.

It works with standard windows drivers, so you don't need software to use it with Skype. If you want to record then you will need to get some kind of recording software. Recording length will depend on the software you get.

Yes, I am also a youtuber. I got this because the video on it is better than the three, but its best for taking pictures around 5k res, The video and audio sound great, I have had no problems, at all, or any complaints, If I were you, id go on ebay, and get the cheap generic brand 2 pack batteries for this also, becuase it helps a ton when your out some place taking pictures, the one I got was under 20 bucks, and it even came with adapters, and a car charger.

This all depends on "YOUR" software.. if your asking can you record audio with the software included? yes it has a line in function, so you will be able to record audio heard by the microphone, watch out for reverb/feedback from your speakers.. This is a micro-phone.. if the person/audio is in the area of you microphone, it will pick them up.. if your asking if the software will tie in SKYPE on another feed/source.. i don't believe so..

No you can't record. It's good for Netflix, yourube, file sharing, music playing

They work fine with the PS4, but there's no mic. I attached a ModMic and used an adapter to make it a fully functional gaming type headset. I've never used it with Skype, but the same comments about the mic apply (although you wouldn't need an adapter if you're skyping on a computer). You can get a cheap adapter on Amazon, but the ModMic isn't available on Amazon yet. There are also cheaper mic solutions on Amazon.

I did not test the microphone extensively, it was good for Skype and taking calls while driving, but it doesn't work for voice recognition on some software such add language learning

Well, this has really good built-in microphones. So, if you don't have a good mic to record with for the computer, then that is one major pro. Otherwise, this is a field recorder, so it is made to be taken to record audio on location or portably.
