Setting up your LOGITECH C310 webcam involves a few steps:

1. Place your webcam.

Your LOGITECH C310 webcam comes with Logitech Vid HD. With Logitech Vid HD, video calling live over the Internet takes only a few, easy steps:

• Install Logitech Vid HD
• Create an account
• Add a friend and make a video call

It is recommended that you install both the Logitech Webcam and Logitech Vid HD software for the LOGITECH C310.

Tip: If you prefer another video-calling application, you will need to download and install third-party software.

To make video calls with any application, both you and the person you call must have:

• A webcam
• A computer with speakers and a microphone (or a headset with a microphone; many Logitech webcams have a built-in microphone)
• A broadband Internet connection (e.g., DSL, T1, or cable)
• The same video-calling application (e.g., Logitech Vid HD)
• Video calling accounts

To add a friend or make a practice call:

Practice Call: Click on the Practice Call tile to test your settings. Tip: The Practice Call tile is always available on your Contact List so you can test your settings.

To add a friend, click on the Add a Friend tile and enter your friend’s e-mail when prompted. After your friend has accepted your invitation, click on your friend’s picture to make a call.

Logitech automatically detects and adjusts the best settings for your webcam. If you would like to re-take your profile picture or update any of your settings, click the Settings icon.
