Yes an external webcam is required. I have not tried it yet, but when attempted to start Skype it asked for webcam + mic

I have skype on mine, but you will need ear buds or something. The internal speakers are not strong

It has a skype application on the phone (that is downloaded from the android application store). However, it does require an external camera for video, and one cannot use the handset (only the speakerphone)

Not about Skype, but you can connect a webcam and connect to a computer at the very worst. http://www.ehow.com/how_8247722_connect-cam-tv.html

Yes, a 720p webcam; good for Skype but expect to use this camera for much more than internet links.

You will have to check to see if your TV is Skype compatible (if that is what you want to use it for) . My TV was not and I had to get the Logitech camera. I only found this out after I received the camera.

Yes! It should work just get the updates from the web using a windows computer. Plug in the webcam into the computer first get updates than test it out on the computer. When finished switch it over to the TV and it should work fine. It works good and the clip is super light weight and flexible. It works fine for Skype. It's cheaper than some of the other webcams out there. Enjoy!

You can watch what the camera is monitoring via Skype from any computer, essentially it is a seperate feature. The monitor has to be in range of the camera and does not work off of SKype.

You need a web cam from Samsung for utilize Skype with this TV. The glasses that are included only are necessaries for watch TV 3D.

Yes, the webcam comes with a CD to install the required drivers. After you install the drivers, just plug it in and you're good to go. Works with skype and everything else. I still use this webcam =)

i hooked up a standard usb pc webcam into the usb port and could not get it to work with skype or see the video input from the camera anywhere else in any of the menus.there may be a solution but, that is as far as i went with it...the skype menu reported that no webcam was found, you can purchase a skype compatible webcam blah blah blah

I have not used the Skype feature because you have to have it hooked up to a computer and while the Skype is in process the home monitor does not work.

Yes, and video, but it is cumbersome to use and not very good. Would work well in a pinch. Would be good for Skype, etc.

Yes, you can use anything else on the other end - Mac, PC, Netbook, etc... You just need internet access - preferably broadband. You dont need to "buy" anything else - just signup for free on Skype with either the ASUS videophone or with another device or by going to http://skype.com. You can use your skype account on any device that has the skype software.

This tv does not come with a web cam. It can, however, work with a usb web cam. If you're interested in a tv with a web cam I would suggest considering the mobility limitations of a built in web cam.

Curious - why do you need/want a webcam if you have built in iSight?MyQuestion - I don't have iSight, and now looking for webcam that would work with Mac, as many Mac applications as possible AND work with my new Toshiba 'smart TV', so I can plug into TV and make Skype video calls.All this might not be possible, yet - 1. work with "smart/Internet TV' - Brand Toshiba - do Skype - and can work on Mac.Sort of feels like trying to work out a Rubik's Cube.
