Never used it. Tried to get it working from work but firewall must have blocked it. Now have skype too but don't really have anyone to webcam with. I supposed I could send him indoors to the computer upstairs but kind of defeats the object.
Use chat a lot through - especially for work.

I only ever use it for Skype. I am simply too busy to use it right now. Or more correctly my connection is to allow it to work properly.

I use Skype to video-call my elderly parents a couple of time a week - makes them feel very 21st century...

I voted once a week, although the last couple of weeks, not at all, but at work, we use them for video conferences between the sites, so I am regularly (once or twice a week) setting up the video conferences or taking part in them.

Video Skype fairly often to family. Using it all the time at the moment as my wife is at a conference in the US.

I use it a couple of times a week to speak to home.
Both web-cam and chat/sound on Skype. Mine's built in to my laptop but my parents is free standing, watching them trying to set it up in a good position is brilliantly funny.

I got a free one from somewhere, it's still in its box.

My employer was a cheapskate! They wanted video conferencing, I said it cost 9,000€ per site for a professional system, but I could implement a usable system for 3,000€... I was given a budget of 100€ and had to reuse laptops with 1Ghz Celeron processors and 256MB RAM, not surprisingly, it didn't really work well!

Well this is Discovery so all mod cons. Even dedicated VC rooms. And we now have a contractor on site to support them for a year. _________________Still the official cheeky one

We've got a couple of very nice VC rooms at each main site here, although they're looked after by the internal IT guys, I think.

I use my webcam to video call my brother, who lives on the other side of the country, or my cousin, who lives in Malta.

I'm going to see my long-distance lady friend dressed in her Ann Summers teddy via webcam. Soon. If I'm lucky. I hope. But it's a secret. Shhhh...  ^^ that's the first image hit on Google, which amuses me. I have safe-search turned off, and even searching for "Lawnmower" usually comes up with breasts. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."
