    Camera needed for laptop use on Skype


    My Presario Win 7 CQ 56 Notebook 64 bit hasn't got a camera in the lid, no idea why as I bought it a long time ago second hand as an emergency back up, so wondering what the best options are to be able to use it for Skype and similar.

    Any advice much appreciated...

    You should be able to go to any electronics store and get a camera which will plug into a USB port on your laptop. You can use that for Skype.

    You probably should get a headset also (earpiece and microphone). A headset will be better for Skype than using the built-in speakers and microphone.
