Video chats and conference calls

To set up a video chat, you must have a connection to the Internet, an 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. The software may require a separate subscription, and may not be included with HP TouchSmart.

Before you can set up a video chat:

1Download and set up an account with an Internet messenger or video phone call program (or set up an account with Windows Live Messenger—MSN Hotmail, MSN Messenger, or Passport will work— which is included in select models of HP TouchSmart). The person you are calling must have the same video calling software.

2Open your video phone calling program (for example Windows Live Messenger).

3Find the Audio and Video setup, which is usually in the Tools menu (in Windows Live Messenger, find the Tools menu by clicking Show menu. The Show menu button is in the upper-right corner of the window, and is a small down-arrow icon.).

4Click Next when prompted, and if you do not have external speakers, choose Realtek Integrated speakers.

5Set your volume, and click Next.

6Select your microphone; if you do not have an external microphone, choose Realtek Integrated microphone, and click Next.

7Choose HP Webcam as your video, and follow the rest of the instructions.

8Click Finish.

9Open the client and follow the directions to start a video chat.
