It's time to turn to your computer's cam, which waits patiently for you to use it. And the webcams are not only used to talk on Skype and take videos, but also make photos. In .com we tell you how to take pictures with the cam step by step.

If the cam is integrated in your computer you do not have to worry about this, but if it is external and you have not used it yet, you will have to install it. To do this, connect it with USB: it may be plug & play and guide you through the method of installing the drivers . If not, use the CD that possibly comes in the box or go to the support page of the brand on the Internet and download everything you need. Install the drivers.

It's time to open the program of the cam, how to do it? Find the application icon in the Start menu> All programs. If you can not find it, try going to My Computer> Scanners and Cameras, and select it there. Another option is to use the search engine in Start> Search, type webcam.

Several online sites allow you to take pictures with the cam (they look for it and find it, which is quite practical). Some examples are: Cameradroid, Webcam Toy or Pixect.
