Asus eee netbook tip: How to turn the camera on or off

Posted by fbloggs in hardware

I own an Asus eee 900HA, running XP. I was expecting to find a hotkey sequence on the keyboard for turning on or off the built in webcam. There isn’t one. However, Asus provides a utility in the system tray (bottom right hand corner of desktop.)
eee utility to turn on or off the webcam
You can download the User Guide from Asus, and it does contain this information.

Just right-click on the icon and you’ll see options to turn on or off the webcam, and options to turn on or off the wireless connection.

    Asus Eee is very convenient to carry. It is my walkaround laptop wherever i go. The battery life could have been better though

    I own an Asus Eee and an acer netbook but i often use the Asus Eee because it is so much lighter and easily fits in my small bag.

    Asus Eee is not only portable, it is also one of the most affordable netbooks you can buy. Asus is also a good brand which means quality and reliabilty.

    I do not have an icon in the utility tray but the webcam is installed as a program–how can I turn it on?

    I kind of love the Asus Eee PC because it is very small and very light. I have an Acer Laptop and it is really a big burden on my small shoulders “

    Another good thing about the Asus Eee pc is that it does not overheat when used over long periods of time. .-
