My daughter has a laptop with a built in camera. My computer has the capability of hooking up a camera. What do we have to do to be able to talk to each other and see each other on the internet via our computers? Do we need special software to communicate?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You need to purchase a Web Cam, they aren't expensive. Then you both needto subscribe to Skype, it's fee as far as I know.

Not sure anymore how it works, my daughter and I used it a couple of times a few years ago. But it does work.

Thanks Flo. I'll check it out.

You can use Windows Live or MSN Messenger so long as you both use Windows -
