Having a video chat or making conference calls

To set up a video chat, you must have a connection to the Internet, and ISP, and software that
enables you to make video calls over the Internet. As with chat or instant messenger software, you
can use this kind of software to chat with one or more people at a time. This software may require a
separate subscription.

The optimal distance for recording sound with the array microphone is about .5 meters (2 feet) away
from the microphone.

Before you can set up a video chat:

1.

Download an Internet messenger or video phone call program. Make sure the person you are
calling has compatible video-calling software.

2.

Enable your webcam as the default video input. This is usually done through the video setup in
the Tools menu in the software program you are using.

3.

Send your video call by following the instructions for the video-calling software program.
