Skype webcam for tv

Would like to buy a webcam for my toshiba 55tl515uc ,it is skype enabled with 3d .skype recommends a freetalk conferance hd cam but they dont have any stock .would like to buy a cam that is sold at a chain store(easy to locate)can anyone recommend a brand that will work.

LG (cleverly) tells you that the TV is enabled for Skype but when you run the app, you will be given an error message directing you to buy a webcam (that LG manufactures, I guess!!) which will cost you another $100. I think LG should advertise that the APP is Skype ready IF AND ONE IF you purchase a particular webcam. Since they don't, they are not telling you the truth (in it's entirety).

Can someone tell me why you are advertising a webcam specifically for lg televisions when lg don't have Skype up and running on any of their televisions

HD webcam for the Mac

Does anybody have suggestions for a HD webcam for the latest Mac Mini that will actually perform HD video calling (720p) in all applications that support HD video calling (like Skype, Facetime HD, Bria, VidyoDesktop). Please don't post a recommendation for a camera that doesn't support HD in more than the applications that come with the camera.
For instance, I have a Logitech C910 camera that supports HD, but ONLY in the installed Logitech Webcam Software (Logitech VID HD). HD does not work in any other application. I think that to fully support HD calling on the Mac, a camera needs to install it's own driver, and not use the UVC driver that is used by default by most Mac webcams.

Well according to Skype's website, only Skype for Windows supports 720p HD video calling. So no webcam on Mac, be it HD or not will support Skype HD video calling on Mac until Skype supports it on the Mac.
Culled from Skype.com: http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/features/allfeatures/video-call/
*The latest version of Skype offers the clearest, crispest, sharpest quality video calling, and High Definition capability. If everyone on the call has an HD quality webcam, you can see the video in High Definition.*
*What you’ll need:*
** _The latest version of Skype for Windows_*
** An HD quality webcam*
*A dual core processor, and a fast internet connection of 512 kbit/s or more is required.*

WebCam for Mac Pro

Hi,
I need some advise as to which web cam people are using outside of the built in options for iMac and the Macbook/Macbook Pro.
I have a 2007 MP and a 23" Cinema Display, and would like to use a web cam with built in microphone (if possible) to work with Skype. For now I use my MBP for video chat/conferencing. However, I would like to use as well the Mac Pro. I am not prepared to pay these outrageous amounts for the original iSight you find on Amazon or Ebay. I am rather looking for a stylish option from a third party vendor.
Any suggestion is appreciated.

Hello - can anyone recommend a plug-in webcam for my iBook. I'd prefer one with a microphone.
Many thanks.

After downloading and installing Macam (link below) i use a generic usb webcam in conjunction with Skype and what you get is almost realtime video, and using the built in mic, superb sound.

Panasonic TC-L55ET5 Skype Webcam

Bought the Panasonic TC-L55ET5 on Black Friday. Would like to use the Skype feature but don't want to pay the $100 for the webcams that are advertised. Are there any cheaper alternatives for a Skype webcam that is compatible with Viera Connect on this set? Thanks in advance for any help.

what is the model number of your receiver?

Freetalk webcam for Panasonic products ( tv, blu r...

I purchased a Panasonic Blu ray player and freetalk webcam from the Skype shop website and only the audio (no video) is being transmitted from the blu ray player on Skype. Skype, Panasonic, and Freetalk have no explaination for my issue, so I would like to know if anyone is successfully using the Freetalk webcam or if I should look to purchase the Pansonic brand webcam for my Panasonic blu ray player to use with Skype.

I followed this link and it worked perfectly for my Freetalk webcam and Panasonic Plasma TV:

Hi Everyone,
eBuyNow would like to thank everyone for their posts and for being so patient while working hard to find a solution for the compatability issue some people were experiencing with their FREETALK Conference HD camera working with their Panasonic Blu-ray player or Panasonic TV. The firmware version of some cameras was the reason for the issue. Please follow the simple steps below to update the firmware version to 2703.
Step 1
Use a Windows XP or Windows 7 PC.
Go into link: http://freetalk.ebuynow.com/us/ebuynow/web-cameras/tv-webcams/freetalk-conference-hd-camera-for-panasonic-tvs.html
Step 2
Scroll down to about half the page and click on the tab “Downloads”.
Step 3
Click on "Update your firmware"
Step 4
Save the Binary File onto your desktop
Step 5
Plug the Camera into the Windows PC’s using any available USB port
Step 6
Click to open the Binary File you had saved
A pop-up/ dialog box will open on your screen “Freetalk Conference Firmware Update” – ensure that your pop-up blocker is off
Step 7
Click “Update Firmware” button
(When the Firmware update is successful, the text “Reload Complete” will appear in the white box at the bottom of the dialog box. The firmware update process is now complete)
Step 8
Unplug the camera from the Windows PC
You may now follow the steps of connecting the camera to your Panasonic TV or Panasonic Blu-ray player and enjoy Skype video calls from your TV!
Best regards,

Best webcam for a Mac Pro?

I'm not sure how much luck I will have, but here goes.
I have an old mid-2008 Mac Pro, I've been wanting to get a webcam for it for some time now, can anyone suggest one? — I doubt one of the cheap $20 webcams I can buy at the supermarket will even work with my Mac.
I've known Logitech to make Mac compatible webcams in the past, but I can't find any any locally.
Can anyone suggest something that's been tested to work with Mac? Thanks.

Thanks for the detailed response EZ Jim,
Yes, turns out after I posted this, I was reading through the Logitech Support pages, and found a similar answer in that no drivers should be required since Mac OS X has UVC drivers included as of 10.4.8 onward (great idea on Apple's part!) — with that information I decided to take a chance, and purchased a Logitech c270 for about $50AU.
So far I've tested it with a number of applications, I figured I'd try Photo Booth first, it works well.
I then tried to set up iChat with my iCloud account, couldn't seem to get that to work, so I called Apple Support, who helped me find the FaceTime app for Snow Leopard, got my iCloud account connected and was able to make a successful call to a family member. (I found the picture quality very nice for a small 720p camera.)
I also figured that since the webcam has a microphone built in, I'd also try using it for audio recording, it worked, which is handy meaning I won't have to connect an external microphone through the line-in.
I've still got a few uses I want to test it with such as Yahoo Messenger and Skype, but I'm confident that given my success so far it will work just fine. :)

Webcams for a Mac Pro?

I'm looking at getting a decent webcam for use with iChat and Skype so I can see my girlfriend in the States! The one that caught my eye was Logitech's UltraVision (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2204,CONTENTID=118 04) but was wondering if anyone knew if this would work with an intel Mac Pro? It says it only works with Vista, but some resellers are saying it is Mac-intel compatible...
Many thanks,
Ben

+heck no!+
OK… it was just a question as many of us also have Boot Camp/Parallels. I wasn't offering your rabies on a stick or anything… then again, maybe I was.
So, the best option is to get your hands on a pre-loved iSight. I'm surprised there are more of them. As people upgrade their Macs sure there are iSights that are up from grabs. I got 2 more of them from my parents when they went with Intel iMacs from their G4 versions.

Iphone as webcam for FaceTime on mac-mini

i have an iphone and a mac mini. I use facetime on the iphone and have also used my iphone as a webcam for my mini for skype and other applications but failed with facetime. I know that i could use facetime directly from the iphone but when i am at home i prefer to use the larger monitor conected to my mac-mini instead of holding the iphone in my hands. i dont want to buy another webcam. I expect that apple should at least make their own devices compatible in all these possible ways.
Does anyone know an app or way i can use my iphone camera as a cam for facetime!!

Before you spend more money (and time) on 3rd-party apps - which could cause you trouble with the next OS X update as much as they interfere with the system - you may want to consider putting your $$$ into an external, Mac-compatible webcam from a well-supported brand (drivers!) and have peace.
BTW, if you don't want to run FaceTime off your iPhone because you don't want to hold it, how would you use it's camera only without holding it? If you have a solution for it, it would also apply for FaceTime via iPhone, obviously...

Webcam for Titanium Powerbook

My mother is using my old Titanium Powerbook. I would like to use Skype with her. She was told at an Apple Store that there are no webcams for this computer. Is this true? Is it a USB problem? Any ideas for a camera.
Thanks
Dean

I checked them out today at my Apple Store. The tech there said you could use ANY webcam with a Mac. Obviously delusional, at which point I stopped listening to him. The Logitech box says minimum 10.4.1 and G4 800Mhz processor. The Ti book may be just 400Mhz. What processor speed does your Ti book have? That may be why it won't work on the older books?
Thanks again

The cheap & easy way is to just drag the app to the Trash.
If you want to get all of the associated files use an app deleting app like the free AppCleaner;
http://www.freemacsoft.net/appcleaner/
Just drag an app and drop it on the AppCleaner icon in the Dock and it will find and present to you all the files it thinks are associated with the app. You can uncheck any that you want to keep and then let AppCleaner Trash the rest.

I bought another skype number for a family member ...

I have 2 skype numbers now because I can't figure out how to assign the other one I just bought, to a family member. Do I need to cancel that and start over?

Hi, Patzycakes, and welcome to the Community,
As a matter of fact, yes: Skype Numbers are associated with the account under which the subscription was started. Skype does not permit Skype Numbers or any other subscription, or credit, to be transferred from one account to another.
So, the best thing to do would be to cancel the number you do not need, contact customer service to explain the situation and to request a refund , and start a new Skype Number using the Skype account for the family member you wish to have a Skype number. You or they should use their own payment method -- the Skype anti-fraud filters will catch your credit card being used for more than one account, and bar the payment; as a security measure, you may find your own account becomes suspended!
All that said, if the family member does not use Skype and have their own account, that presents another wrinkle.
Best regards,
Elaine
