Vid keeps things simple from the start. It's set up when your webcam is. So you're ready to call right away. In fact, you can set up Vid in half the steps it takes with major instant-messaging services. When you make a call, Vid connects you to friends using their email addresses.

Other free software offers video calling as another hard-to-find feature in a long list of features. Vid presents a simple, intuitive interface where every element is designed to help you make a video call the moment your webcam is ready. Each of your contacts is represented by a thumbnail picture. Simply click the picture of the person you want to contact and Vid starts your video call. Click. Chat. Simple as that.

Key Features

Logitech webcams—a better video calling experience by design

From the moment you make your first video call, you'll see why Logitech is the top choice of webcam users worldwide. Logitech designs every webcam from the ground up to give you dramatically clearer video and sound than other webcams at the same price. It's not just about features like lens quality, sensor resolution and software. It's how the sum of the parts adds up to a better video calling experience for you.

---

VGA sensor for face-to-face calls that look like the real you

Just because you've got a budget to meet, doesn't mean you have to give up quality. Your Logitech webcam comes with extras you wouldn't expect to find in a webcam this affordable. That includes a true VGA sensor that captures your live video image in real-life color. No greenish, fuzzy or washed-out faces. Your callers see the real, natural you.

---

1.3-megapixel resolution for sharing colorful digital snapshots

Want to do even more with your webcam? Just press the snapshot button to take true-to-life photos, software enhanced up to 1.3-megapixels. And since the photos are right on your computer, it's easy to email them instantly to family and friends.

---

Built-in microphone with noise-cancelling RightSound Technology

		Just speak naturally and the webcam's integrated microphone picks up every word, laugh and whisper. And RightSound Technology automatically suppresses distracting background noise, so your conversations are always crystal clear.

---

Convenient universal monitor clip fits any desktop or notebook computer

When it comes to practical design, Logitech thought of everything. The webcam clips easily and securely to LCD monitors and ultra-thin notebook monitors alike. The clip even folds up, so you can also set the webcam on a flat surface like a bookshelf above your computer.

---

Works with all instant messaging programs for hassle-free calling

All you need for video calling is the webcam, a high-speed Internet connection and software with video calling capability. We recommend Logitech Vid video calling software for fast, easy and free face-to-face connections. You can also download other IM programs online. Unlike some brands, Logitech webcams work with all instant messaging programs—yours and whomever you call, so getting connected is hassle-free.

Use Logitech Webcam C200 and free video-calling applications to be there “in person”, across town or across the world.

You cannot beat it for the price. I am far from an expert of webcams, but this thing was easy to setup, the picture is pretty good once you focus it (turn the knob around the lens)... The mic seems a little weak, but I sit kinda far away and it works ok now that I raised the level on it to max. I would defiantly recommend this to anyone, especially webcam beginners. I may even purchase a couple more for my family members.

I helped my brother setup this camera, it was a snap.. It works great with Skype, the audio quality is excellent. The price cannot be beat.

Not sure what some others expect from a VOIP application, but this works as expected.

30 frames/sec, 640x480 - Works fine.

I bought this webcam to use with Skype to talk to my family in Australia. It does a GREAT job and is perfect for this use. The sound quality is just like talking to someone sitting beside you. The price is right and does the job. Don't expect movie quality...but for talking to people around the world it's all you need.
