Skype & Digital camera/webcam

Is it possible to use my digital camera as a web camera when using
Skype?


I was told this was possible but haven't been able to do this.


Thanks

That's a really wide open question.

Are you asking if you can connect a digital camera to your computer?
If so, then your digital camera needs to have a video output of some
kind that will connect to an interface on your computer that uses the
same format as the cameras output.

Hmm maybe that's just to complicated for me.. its just an ordinary
digital camera, nothing fancy..

If you connect to the computer using a USB lead then the camera normally
appears as an extra drive. Can you use the setup on the camera to make it a
'camera' instead? If there is such a setting then plug it into the computer
and see what happens

Oh dear!
I suggest you ask the smartarse who told you it could be done to do it
for you or provide a bit more information such as the camera make &
model for a start and what you have tried so far.
