How do I turn the camera on?

If you mean the built-in webcam and you simply want to take a picture of yourself, you'll need some kind of picture taking software like Snap! (http://snapstrip.com/) or on OS X, just open the Photobooth application. If you want to chat with somebody using your webcam, both AIM and Skype have video chatting features, but you will need a friend with AIM or Skype and a webcam as well.

Using my built in webcam

You must have got a photo/video capture software pre-installed, like YouCam. Or you can download some freeware from Download.com and give it a try.

You can also use a chat software for video talking. It works best if you have a microphone.

Also, YouTube has a Quick Capture feature which lets you to capture a video with the webcam instantly and upload to the site.

These were some ways to put your new webcam to work. Please rate this answer, I need it. For more tips, tricks, hacks, tutorials, tweaks and fixes, visit my YouTube Channel.

You can even learn to fix the 'No Sound in PC' problem which I have seen numerous people having.
