    I have a Lenovo T400. I have signed up with Skype and want to be able to use the built-in camera but I don't know how. :confused: Can someone help?

    1) install drivers
    2) change video settings in Skype... if you have another video source(eg TV Tuner), Skype might pick that up as the default video instead of your webcam

    You should be able to just start up Skype and go to the video settings, select the camera as the video source, and see a preview. Then, when calling someone, choose the Video Call button.

    Drivers should already be installed and your camera should be ready to use.
