Video calls have always offered the promise of connection to your distant friends and family. But for many of us, getting the hardware and 3rd party software to work has been a challenge. Isn't it about time for an all-in-one webcam and software solution designed to make video calling easy for everyone? Wait no more. Your Logitech webcam comes with new Logitech Vid, the easiest video-calling application ever. Vid one-click-to-call software works seamlessly, right out of the box, with any new or existing Logitech webcam. So you can just relax and enjoy sharp, clear video conversations without hassles. And it's also free for anyone you call, no matter what webcam they use.

Other free software offers video calling as another hard-to-find feature in a long list of features. Vid presents a simple, intuitive interface where every element is designed to help you make a video call the moment your webcam is ready. Each of your contacts is represented by a thumbnail picture. Simply click the picture of the person you want to contact and Vid starts your video call. Click. Chat. Simple as that.

Vid software is free with your new or existing Logitech webcam. It's also free for everyone you invite to connect with you, regardless of what webcam they have. Want to add a friend to your call list? Simply choose “Add a friend” to send them an email invitation and software link. Once they sign up, you're both set for free one-click
calling—no strings attached.

From the moment you make your first video call, you'll see why Logitech is the top choice of webcam users worldwide. Logitech designs every webcam from the ground up to give you dramatically clearer video and sound than other webcams at the same price. It's not just about features like lens quality, sensor resolution and software. It's how the sum of the parts adds up to a better video calling experience for you.

All of this simplicity is powered by the Logitech SightSpeed network, a groundbreaking framework designed specifically for video calling. It's also how Logitech Vid can deliver such crisp, clear video and audio without compromises or complications. See how real video calling can be with QuickCam Orbit AF and Vid.

Experience higher quality video calls that look so real, it's like you're in the same room with faraway family and friends. The full 2-megapixel sensor captures far more image detail than standard 1.3-megapixel webcams. It means your video image is astonishingly crisp, clear and true-to-life—even when your face is full screen. The same goes for your digital photos, software enhanced up to a breathtaking 8-megapixels.

Get ready to hear your video callers say, “You look great.” Designed with RightLight2 Technology, the webcam automatically detects and corrects for poor lighting. So you always look your best on camera. Harsh direct light? Dim back light? Gone. The webcam instantly adjusts and balances brightness and contrast for shadow-free video calls that look as natural as you.

Hearing is believing. The premium integrated mic keeps your conversations crystal clear--even if you're speaking from the other side of the room. RightSound Technology also cancels distracting background noise and the “voice, voice, voice” echoes that occur with some webcam brands. Whether you use the built-in mic, or add a headset for more privacy, your every word is clearly heard.

Take your video calls to a new level of fun with included Logitech Video Effects software. Personalize your appearance with hundreds of realistic effects. Transform yourself into animated avatar characters that mirror your movements in real time. Talk and your avatar talks. Smile and your avatar smiles. Add Face Accessories like quirky hats and glasses to your live-action image. Or use Fun Filters to turn your image artsy, neon or creepy as a ghost.
