   HP have been very crafty with this one misleading there consumers as you don't go much into detail looking at the specs - the box and the specifications state it has a webcam built in however what is the purpose of this webcam only so it can play with third party tool i.e skype
   
   hp touchpad does not function like a normal camera where you can snap pictures or make a video the only thing you can do is stream off it or use it for skype

   if you can't find it you must have got a CD or manual with it! install it if you have the CD hopefully should work!
