Go!Cam compatibity with Skype on the PSP - Image 1


If you've ever wanted to use your shiny new Go!Cam Sony PlayStation Portable accessory in conjunction with Skype, then here's we've got some very good news. The little camera that could is in fact compatible with the online voice-chat program, you just need the proper setup for it.

But what, pray tell, is the proper setup for Go!Cam-on-Skype hotness? A direct response from Sony reveals just what you should have in order for the pairing to work like peanut butter and jelly. Here are the set-ups you could use:

OPTION ONE
  • PSP Slim & Lite
  • Headset & Remote Control
  • Memory Stick
  • Wi-Fi Connection
OPTION TWO
  • PSP Slim & Lite
  • Go!Cam & Headphones
  • Memory Stick
  • Wi-Fi Connection
Well, that settles it, then. What's the most important thing (besides Wi-Fi and having Go!Cam at the first place, of course) are the headphones. Without them, you're pretty much stuck - so be sure to have one if you plan on using Go!Cam with Skype.

The reason why..

You need headphones with the Go!Cam while using audio is because the person you are talking too will hear themselves speak through your PSP speakers. Just so you know :P

Whaddya mean "tiny-but-terrible"...??

I friggin' love the camera. Sure, it's not a replacement for any high-end camera, but it's relatively cheap, it fits in your pocket (with its own hard shell protective case), and it's loads of fun! And the quality is still pretty good, IMO...

you can reduce the volume to cellphone level and use it like cellphone, put it near to your ear .
