    I've pavilion dv6000 with built in webcam, I'm wondering about which software to be used for the webcam. I mean on Sony Vaio they have vaio webcam utility or something like that which you can use to take your pictures. Is there anything similar on HP laptops and what is it?

    Thanks. So, HP doesn't install it by default? whats the use of giving a webcam without the software.

    I didn't know that you can use quickplay for the webcam, I'll give it a try.
    Thanks.

    Theres other webcam programs better than quickplay. Most of them you have to pay for though.

    If you have linux, theres a program called "cheese". It lets you do all these crazy effects to the camera.
