I have a friend who lives overseas and is bordering on being computer illiterate (this is his self-description, not mine). Recently he got a compaq laptop that has a built-in webcam. I asked him if he had used it yet and he said, "I don't know how to turn it on." On my Acer netbook, I just go into "My computer" and under cameras, there is the "Webcam" icon. So I asked him to look in "my computer." There was nothing there that indicated he had a webcam. I have no clue how to help him because I don't have a Compaq. Anybody here with a Compaq laptop with built-in webcam to help me help him figure out how to make it open? Thanks!!!
i have the same problem i just got it last night and idk it looks like it does and in the pic that shows what all ur computer has it says web cam and idk id doesnt show it anywhere and when i was looking threw it has a youcam thing
So I have a compaq laptop with a built in laptop and I can't find the icon so I can use it. Where would it be? I have typed in webcam but it doesn't go to it.

To clarify. Open up the program you are going to use to have a webcam chat. You must have some type of software to do this. Just having a webcam does not mean you can just jump into a video chat. Skype is good. We use Free Video Chat and Video Conferencing from ooVoo
When you launch the program it will start your webcam for you and launch any other relevant software that you may need.
