    I was just wondering. I bought a 5672 some time ago and have not really used the built in webcam at all. I've had a brief look at the supplied Orbicam software that lets you take pictures/videos but did not really have a use for it. Is anyone using it with other software? E.g. is it possible to use the laptop as a videophone and, if so, what software would I need to do this?

    You would probally need the SAME software that the person on the other end is using. & vice versa.

    Try using Skype, MSN/Yahoo messengers, ICQ etc: etc:
