    I got the integrated webcam feature but I don't know how to use it. I should be able to use it in other programs than just video chat but I don't know how to access it. Does anyone have any program recommendations or help for me?

    What about the Dell Live! Console that automatically boots up and is in the system tray?

    I originally disabled it but found that I could not launch it off the start menu so I left it in the startup and access it from the icon in the system tray. Brings up the video right away...

    the path to the Dell Webcam Center is "C:\Program Files\Dell\DELL Webcam Center\LiveCamDe.exe" so you can use that to create a shortcut anywhere you wish. :)

    Built in Dell's software for the web cam has some nice object recognition capabilities. You can add Hat/glasses.

    I've used built in web camera with great success while chatting in Skype.
