CyberLink DVD Suite, select the Video icon to start the recording program, tap the Help menu, and
then tap Help.

Video chats and conference calls

To set up a video chat, you must have a connection to the Internet, an ISP, and software that enables you to
make video calls over the Internet. As with chat or instant messenger software, you can use this kind of
software to chat with one or more people at a time. The software may require a separate subscription, and
may not be included with HP TouchSmart.
Before you can set up a video chat:
1 Download and set up an account with an Internet messenger or video phone call program (or set up
an account with Windows Live Messenger—MSN Hotmail, MSN Messenger, or Passport will work—
which is included in select models of HP TouchSmart). The person you are calling must have the same
video calling software.
2 Open your video phone calling program (for example, Windows Live Messenger).
3 Find the Audio and Video setup, which is usually in the Tools menu (in Windows Live Messenger,
find the Tools menu by clicking Show menu. The Show menu button is in the upper right corner of
the window, and is a small down-arrow icon.).
4 Click Next when prompted, and if you do not have external speakers, choose SoundMAX
Integrated speakers.
5 Set your volume, and click Next.
6 Select your microphone; if you do not have an external microphone, choose SoundMAX
Integrated microphone, and click Next.
7 Choose HP Webcam as your video, and follow the rest of the instructions.
8 Click Finish.
9 Open the client and follow the directions to start a video chat.
