Q: Does it need a built in microphone? Do I need a special one because I am using a notebook? Do they make them with stands? Where would I clip one on my notebook? Anything else?
A: Cams come with microphones now. Whether it's a headset mic or on a clip you attach to your shirt. PC and laptops don't need any special needs, they both take the same cams because it's installed with the driver cd you'll get that comes with the cam. Cams can sit on your desk or normally clip to your monitor somehow. Here's a tip though, whenever you're not wanting to use your cam, keep it disconnected from your system cause if it's connected 24/7 and your system is always on, hackers can access your cam and turn it on whether you know it or not. It's kind of a privacy measure. If you're worried about money, no worries. You don't have to buy an expensive cam to have good video feed. They range around here from 20$ and up. I got mine for 30$ and it's great quality and came with a mic clip.
