webcam support?

Does Windows Vista have any built-in webcam support?

Drivers?
Monitoring Software?

I have a webcam but i'm reluctant to install software that is not
essential - the software that came with it is too crappy but i can't find
any Microsoft webcam software in Windows Vista ( Premium) - i was a bit
suprised that Win Movie Maker doesn't support webcam input

Re: webcam support?

Have you tried hooking up the web cam and then just see what Vista does about it?

Re: webcam support?

Nope, that is the responsibility of the hardware developer to provide with
their product. Products such as Windows Live Messenger or Yahoo Messenger
include web cam support, but no drivers.
