Dear Forum,

Please can you tell me more about Firefox hello? In particular, do you need any special equipment to use Firefox Hello?

Do I need a webcam, or would it be possible to use a media player, like VLC?

Do I need anything like a microphone to connect to my laptop? Or would it be possible to use the audio-speakers on the laptop?

Hi

Firefox Hello is a new feature in Firefox that allows you to have real time web communication.

You will need a webcam (so that people can see you!), but you will not need a media player as (aside from drivers for your webcam) everything you need is in Firefox.

You may need to connect a microphone, but your webcam may have one included with it. You may want to test it to find out what it can do.

The best place to find out all about Firefox Hello is here.

I hope you enjoy using Firefox Hello and find it useful. If you have any questions or queries about using it, please come back here and we will do our best to help.
