I just downloaded Skype for my Windows, and when I logged on it said to configure my webcam, so I'm guessing it picked it up. But, then Skype froze and I couldn't get it to work the rest of the night. So I'm just guessing that it works. I'll have to try again later. Hope this somewhat helps.

Thanks for the info. Although it's a gift I'll go ahead and hook it up to be sure it's going to work before sending it off to a friend.

I had this older webcam lying around, and decided to try and use it with Windows Vista. Downloaded the software from Logitech's website, and it does work on SKYPE! However, the video is a little 'jerky', and not up to modern webcam standards. But it does work! Audio from the built in mic sounds good.

I was wondering the same thing. This model is also sold on the Skype website, so I think it's a safe bet that it's compatible.

It works with Skype. I did the audio/video test on Skype and the picture and sound were very good. It seems the refresh rate must be slower than my other STX as there was much more ghosting with movements. So don't run around too much while you're talking. :-)

Don't know - but you can access the User Manual on line at Samsung and that might help. This is an Android phone - but it's the Android version from late 2011 - not the most recent - I guess you should just check with the Skype people. I'm pretty sure somewhere on the Amazon site it does mention which OS version it is, that should be all you need to find out from Skype if it will be supported. I know it will set up a portable WiFi spot because that's one of the BIG reasons I bought it.

"Best?" ? Who knows which webcam is best for your needs? But let me quote a couple of the reviews of this webcam:"....I purchased 4 of these Logitech 961400-0403 Quickcams for use with friends over Skype because of the price, performance and features. The resolution is very good for VOIP,...."".... Once I figured out how to adjust the resolution, it has worked well with SKYPE and...."

Yes it is compatible with skype, and there should be an issue using it outside the states, provided that where you are going to has wifi if needed.

Tried to install Skype on Kyros MID7024. It installs but crashes when trying to sign in. Others had the same experience. My conclusion at this time that it does not work. If you are successful let us know.

It may not be compatible with Skype. And don't worry mine doesn't work either

I have my mother using the webcam on her Dell, using AIM. I go through Ichat. It worked for a while, but I had to invite her to videochat. Picture quality was poor. She could never invite me. Now, it doesnt work at all, and am wondering if it is just my mother who isnt very tech savvy, or if it is the stinkin cam.

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.

lol. that post is Sept 3 a month after I posted I was not supported. Maybe they added support. But if you look in the skype forums they say they only support HD with hardware camera.

Hi Yuri - Did Amazon ever reply to your query on shipping you a different/older model than advertised? I want to purchase the portable webcam C905 as advertised, but it would suck if they're still sending out the older product - in which case I'll look into the logitech webcam pro 9000.Can anyone confirm whether or not Amazon has started to ship the NEW C905 versus the old version? Thanks!

I have skype installed and working, but the only problem is that the sound on the tablet side does not work. It's strange, in that sound works for pandora and games, but not for skype and the camera/video app that came with the tablet.

This has nothing to do with Skype. There is probably a way to make it work with Skype but there are much easier solutions at lower pricing. Search amazon for Skype phone adapters or Skype enabled phones for a better solution.

I used mine on Skype and had to get Skype to recognize the camera. I think I did so either through the view or tools dropdowns. The Skype home page has instructions on how to do this. Good luck.

I have been able to use mine like a webcam by plugging it in then holding the button. Device manager sees it as a GVD and it works with skype.

I have this and I do not use it much. From what I can tell just the basic web cam works, no other features work. What I have come to realize is the only Mac that does not come with a web cam built in is the mini (which is what I have), so not many companies produce a web cam that is compatible. This was one of two I found that are supposed to work with Mac, I don't remember what the other one is but i tried that one first and it did not work. I don't know if this helps, sorry if it doesn't.

Have the Freetalk Conference HD with my Panny TC-P42GT25, which is the oldest TV Panasonic made that can Skype. As an earlier reviewer stated, you have to update the camera software to make it compatible with any Panasonic device that has web app capability. Even though the link in the previous review was deleted by Amazon, I was able to find the update. Contrary to what one would assume, this firmware update is NOT on Freetalk's website, but is actually on Panasonic's. Just go to support for Panasonic and search for Freetalk 7181 update. Download it and run it with your camera plugged into the computer. If this camera works with my TV, it should work with anyone's Panny device.
