[cisco-voip] Cisco VT Advantage Camera and Skype Discovery

[Matt Slaga (US)]

The version 2.0 VT advantage cameras (or perhaps the 2.0 of VTA
software?) did make a change and allow the camera to be seen by other
products.  The previous ones were locked down to only the VTA app, I can
say from experience.

I think it depends on the drivers your app uses and whether they  
support the camera or not.  While it may be Logitech hardware the  
Logitech drivers won't recognize the VTA camera as such.

I think its visa versa.  You can't use any other camera with the VT
Advantage software.  The camera is just a logic Tec camera with
something extra to make it work with VTA.

I have been told by many people and everything I have read has
seemingly confirmed that the Cisco VT Advantage cameras can't be used
by any software other then the Cisco software.

It just so happens that for the first time I had my camera plugged in
and launched skype, skype saw the camera and used it.  I was able to
make skype voice / video calls with the Cisco VT camera.

This may be old news for some, but it was an interesting discovery
personally since for a couple of years now I have been told something
on the cameras (firmware possibly) prevented them from being used by
anything else.
