How do I video chat on my Acer computer?
On Acer computers equipped with a web camera, you have the ability to video chat when the camera is used in conjunction with internet messaging or video calling software. Depending on the model, your computer may or may not have come with this type of software preinstalled. If your computer did not come with this type of software, there are several third party applications available to perform this function. Some examples would be:
Note: These applications may require registering for membership or a subscription in order to use their services.
Also, some websites such as Facebook and YouTube have the ability to access your computer’s web camera to allow you to video chat or record video. You will have to grant these websites special permissions to do so.
Once downloaded, follow the application’s recommended procedure for video recording or chat. For further assistance with your chosen application, please contact the maker of that particular application.
If the camera itself is not working properly, you may have a hardware issue that would require further troubleshooting. Please contact Acer support for further assistance.
