What do people say
I purchased the Lifecam 18 months ago as I relocated from the UK to the US and needed to video chat with family and friends back home and have used it ever since.
This is a very basic webcam and that’s reflected in the price. The good news is that the picture quality is fine (once you’ve refined the focus using the focus ring) and it easily integrates with windows messenger and Skype. I have it connected above my monitor and it’s small size enables me to forget it’s there while working.
There are a couple of negatives, it isn’t great in low light and the sound’s not up to much. That’s true of most webcams however and I’d always recommend purchasing either a headset or a stand alone microphone. Even a very cheap mic will have sound quality better than most webcams.

Important Tip:
You can have the large button activate a different app (like Skype) when it’s clicked.
This works for me and others on the web (Advanced users only!!!):
1. Open regedit.
2. Navigate to the following key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}\????\Settings]
Where ???? is a number like 0000, 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004. You may have a few of these.
3. Under each of the “\????\Settings” folders, look for the entry called “QuickStartPath”, and change it from the current value (usually “C:\Program Files\Microsoft LifeCam\icepick.exe”) to the path of the program you want to launch when the big button is clicked (like “C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\skype.exe”)
