How to capture video from a webcam on Windows 7?

Maybe I'm missing the point - wouldn't be the first time - but I want to record and store my video from my laptop webcam, on my own hard drive, so I can upload it to sparkpeople.com.
Papa go to Start and type Movie Maker the program will show up and you're on your way. It's still there 
Oh ok then do what SVO is saying.... but, you could use Youtube if you just want to embed a youtube player on your blog
Papa, are trying to get your blog videos on your PC?
Outside of that question, the software that came with your camera should have a capture mode. What camera is it?

I want to take video with my laptop over the next week, while I am in NC... and also post to the sparkepeople site. The camera is built in to the laptop, so I have no idea what it is.
What is the brand/model laptop?
My guess is that the laptop has the software installed, you just have to find it in the start menu. I don't think Movie Maker will do it. You can however record right to facebook/youtube and save the videos there. When you get home, you can pull them down from facebook/youtube and edit them together with Windows Live Movie Maker.
I can assist you with that when the time comes.

You should have built in cam software for this. Look at your programs through the start menu and see if one mentions a cam.
