A few Sony models have a USB port that allows them to function as a webcam. Do a web search for your model and see if yours is one of them. You'll need the Sony driver for it which you can download.

Barring that you can use a video capture card as in input from the webcam.http://www.ehow.com/how_2242539_video-camera-as-webcam-cheap.html
