WHO can see me, and how do I have a webcam conversation?

Is that like a Skype thing?

How do I turn it on and off, or is it always on, if I'm on Skype or something?


Thanks!

Skype is the best video conferencing application I've used. It's totally hands free talk, and the video is pretty decent streaming quality.

Regarding how the program works: You have to approve friends for them to be able to see you online, then you have to approve those people to be able to watch your cam when you're actually online. So it's not like someone can just watch your cam anytime without your knowledge.
