from www.amazon.com
also there is a button on top of it that activates windows messenger or something, i never have any need for that so i didn't pay much attention to it.
from www.amazon.com
press the button on top of the camera and it launches msn messenger and asks you which of your contacts with whom you'd like to initiate a video chat.
from www.amazon.com
the button on it is a joke, as it works only with windows live messenger and is annoying, suggesting to install windows live messenger every time you accidentally touch it.

Logitech Quickcam Orbit AF

from kliver, www.newegg.com
other good think is that the camera with extension stick is on your eye level so when you are using it with im programs (like skype or messenger for example) camera doesn’t look at you from the top.
from www.amazon.com
i use it regularly with live messenger with friends and family all over the world and they have all commented on how clear and crisp the picture is and that the sound is clear and audible.

$48.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
"live messenger" windows kept popping up and my only recourse was to reboot the system and that only worked part of the time.
from www.amazon.com
the webcam works best with live messenger (obviously, since they are both developed by microsoft), but other programs, such as skype or yahoo messenger, work fine as well.
from www.amazon.com
with that cam every time you tried to adjust the cam you ended up hitting the windows live button and being prompted to install/launch windows messenger.
from www.amazon.com
the automatic recognition by windows live messenger was great and did not require any additional settings.

i have been using this product for over 3 weeks, it has resolved some audio problems i was having when using messenger with my old webcam.
from www.amazon.com
the only moderately annoying issue is when you press the button on the camera (in windoze), a pop up appears saying "...call button only works with windows live messenger, do you want to install it

note: the only messenger this cam works with is windows live version 8.1 it will not work with live 9 or yahoo at all!

to top it off, there's a little insidious, evil button on top which immediately tries to open messenger when depressed.

quality is very good for a webcam, assuming you use windows live messenger, which has a built in video codec that supports these models well - i noticed that other video call im's, such as aim,
