You can check for that here... http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/cameras/index.php Now that you found a cam that works, download and install the most recent version of Maccam... http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/downloads.html If all goes well, here is where you will need to spend a few dollars. You will need iChatUSBCam. $9.95 http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/ Now, your USB cam should all be set to work with ichat, skype and the flash meetings. I installed both maccam and ichatusbcam. I'm not really sure if both are actually needed though. I do know that you need ichatusbcam if you want your camera to work in ichat and skype. Hope that helps.
