    It's just hardware; you need some software that, well, does what you want to do.

    :)

    Yahoo Messenger, I know, has web camera conferencing included and is free.

    Is there an icon that says "Bison Cam" on your desktop? Because it came pre-installed on my 5793. If not then it should be on the drivers&utilities disk.
