This review is from: HP Webcam HD-3100 - 720P Widescreen Webcam with TrueVisionUPDATE: As of March 2011, Skype's latest update/patch has now fixed all the problems I was having. It took months and months, and I have to say that although I'm pleased with the product NOW, I'm thoroughly unimpressed with HP's pathetic customer service.ORIGINAL REVIEW: Although the package clearly advertises that this webcam works with Skype, it does not.The audio works, but from the day I purchased it (about a month ago) to now, the video doesn't work.I have followed every single troubleshooting step recommended by HP and by Skype - no dice. I have discovered from the Skype forums that this is a problem for everyone who owns this particular webcam with the latest version of Skype.I contacted both HP and Skype, and have had lengthly emails back and forth, all to no avail. The most recent one was from Skype, who now say that they are 'aware of the problem' and are 'working on a solution'. That was a week ago. Still no news.If you are planning to buy a webcam to use with Skype, I recommend doing what I SHOULD have done first: Check the Skype forums first to find out if there are problems with webcam you are looking at.

I'm a long-time fan of HP products so was delighted to receive the Webcam HD-3100 for review. Here's my take on it.The 720P with trueVision is a plug and play device offering clear images even in low light. It has three quick launch buttons (IM, Snapshot and Video) on the right-hand side of the camera and comes with a glass lens and a handy mount. It works with AOL Instant Messenger, Skype, Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo Messenger. Fill featured software with special effects lets you choose masque designs, and a 16 x 9 widescreen range rather than the usual 4 x 3 and still-shot resolution of up to 5.7 megapixels.The Technical Details:720P (1280x720) CMOS sensor; Fixed focus- range approximately 12 inches to 10 feet; USB 2.0 high-speed certified; Still Picture Resolution: Up to 5.7 Megapixels.Compatibility: AIM, Skype, Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo!

Turn on the computer, insert the HP HD Webcam CD into the drive, connect the USB cable to a usable USB port on your computer, then let the plug and play guide you through the super simple setup. My webcam was ready to use in less than five minutes. I have Windows Live Messenger and was able to connect with my son and my husband (whose computer is upstairs and networked to mine.) Both volume and picture clarity were good.The only disappointment in the setup is that my Dell 5150 flatscreen monitor has a curved back which makes it impossible to mount the webcam to the monitor. I had to settle for setting it on a shelf. Otherwise, it's all good and at a reasonable price.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The plug and play worked great on my Windows Vista Business system. There were no surprises and the controls are intuitive. The video is very good and the widescreen is about 10' wide at a distance of 8'. That makes it very easy to have a conference call with multiple people at your location. Even with the widescr...
