For the month of October we thought it would be interesting to see if you've got a computer webcam. Feel free to comment or talk about what brand of webcam you have, what you like / don't like about it, how often you use it, etc.

All past monthly polls and results can also be found on the Computer Hope poll page.

I use an early Logitech - the larger ''ball'' deal with silver drop down lens cover.  Only gets used for occasional MSN hook ups.

I got a later version to use on my Lenovo backup (smaller silvery-blue ''ball'') but that, tho functional, seemed to install way too much garbage such that when I wanted to work on video's and particularly with capture - things were screwed.

Uninstalled that one.

I have a question about webcam, can a person take your screen shots while you are using the webcam?

They can, if they use printscreen.

Yes it works. When they use printscreen, they can copy the screenshot to paint (or something else), cut out everything unused and save the webcam window as a paint file.

Why? Are you afraid that people might take screenshots of you without your permission? That can be avoided. When you turn on your webcam, you can choose in which conversation you want to use it. It's not needed to use it in every conversation. So when people ask you to turn on your webcam, a simple ''no'' should do just fine.

There is software (even a microsoft powertool) that takes a picture from your webcam ever ## seconds and saves the picture.
This doesn't take a picture of the entire screen, but what is shown in the webcam, even if you think it's off.
