Before you try to use the webcam, make sure that the MSI notebook is equipped with a webcam. You can check if there is one on the middle margin of the lid. If it does have a webcam, you need to make sure it is installed properly in Device Manager. Use the support CD with drivers, then you can use it in your favorite application.
