Do you have a web cam? How do you use it?

I have one and I just take pictures with it. My previous avatar was taken with it. I think it's pretty cool, we travel so we can take pics of the kids and send those to family. I've heard of people having a webcam at home and linking it at work so they can see their family all day. That way you could have breakfast and lunch together and see what the kids are doing. You wouldn't be there but you wouldn't miss anything either.

I use my webcam to talk to my daughter and grandchildren - they live in USA and we live in Australia, so it's a very important piece of equipment to us! It's almost like being there! When speaking to our grandchildren on the webcam, they are more relaxed than if we speak to them on the phone, so it's a great way to keep in touch with family for us.

I have one that is built in with my laptop. I've never used it other than experimenting with it when I first got it. I don't really have any reason to use it - most of our family and friends live close by. But I'm sure if we had grandparents far away we might try to use it for that.

Yes I do have a webcam installed and connected to my personal computer.I also have a webcam on my laptop.I have sparsely used it.Earlier when we bought the persona computer along with the webcam,I used to use it sometimes.This was because of the novelty factor of it.But after that I have used it very rarely often to take photos of family members.That's all.But as an accessory I know it is of immense value.

I had a friend who used his at work to see his family, it was pretty cool, he ate lunch with them and talked with his kids all day.

I would use my webcam to see and chat with people all over the world, only they have to have one too. I plan on getting me one soon.

Before I started this conversation a year ago a lot has happened. People can see their family at home while they are at work. Some lady watched her house being robbed. I like your idea too, have fun.

I have a webcam but i never use it anymore. I used to love using it to see the other person I was chatting with but no one I know uses them anymore. So mine is buried in a closet now. As far as pictures my digital camera gets used alot for sharing pics.

I have a web cam... I don't really use it that often anymore.
I used to use more when i was younger and was into the whole chat room junk but that faded REAL fast.. too many pervs just trying to see someone naked! lol
come to think of the only person that ever sees me on my cam now is an ex and thats if shes lucky :P
but i used to cam with my cousin even though we see each other all time in person lol but he doesn't have his anymore.

We don't have a web cam, I don't think we will get one, I don't want my teenage daughter to get any ideas. If we did have one the only use I could see for using it would be to talk with and see and be seen by relatives from out of state. My brother and sister both live in other states, and my husband's aunt who I am close to loves in another state as well. I am sure they would all love to see the kids more.

I do have a web cam. I don't use it very often. Once in a while I will use it when talking to a friend, but not very often at all. I haven't used it in about 6 months. I bought it to take photos with years ago, but then got a better camera. The old one became relegated to being used only as a web cam.

Yes i have one. I don't use it too often. If i do use it is usually only with one person my best friend. We sometimes like being able to see eachother when we chat. Sometimes we will even use it on skype so we can actually voice chat as well as use our cams.
