Microsoft today is expected to announce two videoconferencing Webcams that simplify online video chat and can create photo blog entries on Microsoft's MSN Spaces community site. The LifeCam VX-6000 and LifeCam VX-3000 Webcams initiate videoconferencing sessions in Windows Live Messenger instant messaging software with the press of a button, said Michael Cowan, a product marketing manager at Microsoft.
A Windows Live Call Button atop the Webcams automatically logs a user into Windows Live Messenger and opens a list of contacts currently online, called a "Buddy Pick" list. Clicking on a contact from the list starts a videoconference, Cowan said. "It is like speed dial. Just press a button."
