    Hello everyone,

    I got an integrated web-camera on my 1520 and I don't see it on the list of installed hardware to record video - I mean it works but I cannot use it on youtube for example, while my Logitech (external USB) webcam works fine

    Is there any way to actually make my integrated camera do what it supposed to do: be my primary webcam everywhere?

    Thanks!

    Does Youtube have an integrated webcam streaming recorder or something?

    I can take video with mine and upload it to youtube no problem

    Like many other forums, if you use quotation marks around the search phrase (example: search "integrated web cam"), it will seek out the phrase as well as each individual word

    My problem is that SKYPE doesn't detect my integrated webcam. Any advise, please. thanks.
