Dell 15-Built in webcam de-synchronization with Yahoo Messenger

I have a Dell Studio 15 with a built -in 2 MP webcam. When I use it with yahoo messenger, there is a signficant lag between the voice and lip movements. I tried changing the settings on yahoo messenger to 'best for movement' but although this helped a little, there is still quite a bit of time lag. Is there a way to improve the synchronization? Would this improve by using Microsoft messenger instead of Yahoo Messenger?
Also, on the webcam central, if I click on "Switch to Video Chat" I get a message that the Dell Video Chat application has not be installed. From where could I install this and would this help in other messenger tools as well?
I appreciate any inputs.
Thanks!

How do i turn on the built in web cam

Hi, there should be a software within the laptop through which you can use the camera, but in some cases there is none installed specifically for that, other software like yahoo messenger, msn messenger, skype and so forth all use the camera in chatting with other people, you can easily check if the camera work by signing into one of those and going into Audio/Video setup to check the camera... other software is available through the web for free and can allow you to use the camera and capture images and videos clips with it.. the following link has some and you can also search the net for anything like 'webcam software' Best of Luck

How do i work the webcam on the studio one 19 desktop dell? I see it on the computer but there's no button to press to get it to open and/or work or even get to it.

You should be able to activate the webcam with any webcam enabled software. There's no buttons or anything to "turn it on" as it will turn on with software that needs webcam.

For example, try using it with the video chat feature built into Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, or Windows Live Messenger. They should all detect the webcam automatically and start using it.

I have a dell laptop with a built in web cam. how

Hi,
Please make sure that your dell's webcam is turned on.
yahoo messenger webcam 1. Turn on Yahoo Messenger and log in using your account name and password. You'll need to create an account if you haven't done so already. 2. Click the Start My Webcam' option. This will load your webcam, and is among the ways you can get your webcam to begin broadcasting. 3. While you are talking to a friend click on the camera icon that appears in a chat window. 4. Click on a contact from your Contact List, then click 'Invite to View My Webcam.' This opens a new IM window with your webcam active. 5. Click the 'View Webcam' link while talking to others in IM. This will allow you to see their webcams. Others: *1. Use the 'Super Webcam' mode when you want to send and receive high-quality images and feeds. Broadband makes it possible to see one another in very high resolution, although even with high-end broadband your computer may slow down a bit because of the amount of memory and processing power this requires. *2. Click 'Webcam' followed by the 'Who's Watching Me' button to see which of your friends is receiving your webcam's feed.

Can't use the built in cam for Yahoo Messenger.

Some webcams have this problem in combination with Yahoo.
I was able to fix this by using a program called SplitCam. I allows for webcam sharing, but it also is compatible with most webcams. You can install it and then use that as the video source in Yahoo.
I found a nice description about using SplitCam for this.

Hope it works for you.
