How can I tell if my desktop has a built in webcam and microphone?

Yes, I have got speakers.

So, I presume all I need now is a webcam with a built in microphone?

Hi Folks

I have checked and my desktop seems to have 3 different recording devices - Front Mic, Microphone, and Line In. However, they all seem to say not plugged in.

Does this mean I need to do something in order to enable the microphone work properly?

You probably have three inputs. You would need to connect something eg a microphone to them for one of them to work.

This is a cam with mike (?) that plugs into a USB port.


No idea how good it is, but it gives you an idea of what is out there.

No worries, I fixed that by turning the screen round...

Pink one is the microphone.
