not always, i used only if i chat with my friends, i refuse to view my webcam if somebody requested it because some of the chatters now are bad specially those looking for online happpiness. i am a victim of this many times before that is why i am now using webcam limited to my friends only.

Normally i not on my webcam when chating with all my friend in my Yahoo messenger...is very disturbing. If i on my webcam during chating, normally my friend will see all the happening around me but i will on my webcam if my friend on he or she webcam and requesting to on my webcam during chating and before i on my webcam no one is standing at the back of me and i will made sure i will only on my webcam if i chatting to the friend in online, that i already chat for more that 10 time already. That is few safety measurement before i on my webcam in chatting.

Yes I do cam while chatting it's alway nice to see who the person is that I am chatting with, Actually I chat in rooms very seldom though I will chat in a PM with someone... I have to actually know them before that will happen... The really only good thing about cams is that you can see who your talking too as long as it's not a repeat of the same thing than you know that cam isn't real.. lol

I've only recently received my webcam from the site I won it on, but I barely used it. I don't chat that much, and when I do, even my cam is on, people usually don't choose to see me.

yes i always use my web cam and like you i only use it when im chatting with friends and family. and if im chatting with strangers, i ask them to open their cam first before i let them view mine. and most of the time i dont put on my status message that my cam is on. i dont want to invite lots of maniac man bogging me to have a "show."

No, not all the time. When I'm talking to my family back in the Philippines I would turn on my cam. But if I'm just chatting with my friends then I don't bother using the webcam unless I've got something to show them. Also when I wasn't with my boyfriend and the only way for us to keep in touch is through internet and phone then I always use the cam.

No because I am not comfortable with it. I only use a microphone and a headset. This make me say anything to whome I am chatting with.

I dont you webcam simply because I don't have one. And if did I have I dont like people seeing me like a newly get-up men from a bed. Its nice only using a microphone and a speaker when you are chatting.

webcam - using webcam at home
I only use my webcam when chatting with friends and family. I am not really that type of person who would go online and go to chatrooms to look for strangers that I could chat with. Even if I end up chatting with someone, I do not really use the webcam. I would often say that it is not available or that it is busted. I am not comfortable chatting with strangers with my webcam on.

I don't have a webcam to use right now. I have never owned one. I guess I would use it sometimes while chatting online but I would have to know the person really well before I would use it. I would be too afraid to use one with starngers also.

We gave my two daughters webcams so that we could see them and the grandkids. But over the years they quit using them so I dont even bother anymore.

Like you, I don't use webcam to strangers. Even those I "like" because they are sensible persons. It's more of being cautious for me. For my families and close friends, I don't mind using it as often as I possible.

I no longer have a webcam. I got one so that I could talk to my family while I was living away from home. I bought my family one as well. I didn't get a very good one though, and it ended up getting broken when it fell over one day. Oh well. I didn't like it very much, but it was nice to be able to communicate with my family while looking at their faces.

It depends on whom I chatting too. My cam exclusive for my husband and for my close friends. Before, I opened my cam for a new friend and oh, he started to stalk me. So from then on, i don't open my cam to strangers.
