Webcam
A webcam enables you to capture videos and photos, and can also be used for video calls. Your display may have a built-in webcam or you
can connect external webcam to your computer. Camera quality is mainly defined by the number of pixels it can capture.

software are generally installed when you receive your computer. For more information on setting up the webcam, see
