    Hi, just registered to ask this! I got this laptop for Christmas, and never tried to use the webcam until a few days ago. The Function-V for camera does nothing, and searching in the computer for the camera works, but does nothing when I click it. To make sure that it does work for others, I headed to Best Buy to see if it worked there, which it did. Are there any drivers I'm missing or something so it works? It will work for Skype and Smart Logon, just not when i want to take pictures with it :(

    Welcome to the forums dude! Do you have lifeframe installed, if not
    G73/74/53 Series Driver and Application Reference it can be found here with all other updated drivers (way better than Asus's site IMO).
    Or check to see if you can launch it from programs - Asus Utility - Lifeframe
