I tired to do this with my SD600 and could not figure it out but I think it is possible with some changes to the camera like this

anyway I have not tried it because they don't support the sd600 so I have no idea if this is safe or works.

The camera has a video output, if I remember correctly. Most of the
models come with the video output adaptor cable. With some models that
have the option, the cable has to be purchased separately.
For the computer you need a video capture card with the capture software, and that your web conference program would be compatible with.
When using the camera as a live video camera, it is best to have the
optional AC power supply. You will find that the batteries will not
last very long. This camera was designed primarily to be used as a
photo camera.
You cannot use the USB output of the camera for live video. The USB
output can only transfer recorded video and photos from the memory
card. It is not able to stream a live output as like a webcam.
By-the-way, Canon will not support using a camera of this type for a web cam. They actualy take it as an insult.
It is best to get a dedicated webcam. These are very low in cost, and
are appropriate for the application. The video bandwidth will be very
large when using a photo camera as a webcam. You better make sure you
have unlimited data
usage with a good high speed ISP. There may be delays during high
traffic times, and if someone wants to communicate with you using a
dialup modem, it will probably be impossible.

Good day,
This tip will explain how to remove the write protect from your SD Card.
This is a easy fix and won't take a minute.
First remove your SD Card from your device. You will see on the side of the SD Card that there is a small switch. If your SD Card complains about being write protected simply put the switch in the opposite position. Some of the SD Cards even have the word LOCK on near the switch indicating the direction the switch must be to LOCK the card.
Once the switch is changed you can put the SD Card back into your device and the problem of write protection would be solved.
Please feel free to let me know if this tip was able to help you!

Your camera almost certainly has a lens error, this
is such a common fault that I hope you don't mind me pasting my stock
generic answer below. No point in reinventing the wheel!
Stuck lenses are probably the most common
reason that compact digital cameras get thrown away, but there's a fair
chance of recovering use of your camera again
The fault is
commonly caused by dirt or grit blocking the mechanism, or due to it
having suffered a recent fall. Another common cause is that the camera
was in a pocket or bag and the power button accidentally activated and
tried to open the lens against resistance. The mechanism may have simply
become
dislodged or there may be parts which have broken.
If your camera
is still under warranty and has definitely not been subject to misuse
then contact the Canon service department in your country to find out about a free repair. If
the warranty has expired though a professional repair will far exceed
the
cost of replacing your camera. You will therefore have nothing to lose
by
trying to fix this yourself.
Please click here
and you will be taken to an excellent article provided by the Camera
Repair website. For the most part, you'll be guided on how to physically
manipulate your camera to try and clear the fault. Although the article
mentions Canon a few times, the advice applies equally to all cameras
with lens errors and is not model-specific.

Good
luck, I hope you manage to use this information to fix your camera, or
at least are able to use the information to help decide whether to buy
another camera. If you do
decide that you have to throw your camera away then don't forget to
remove the memory card as it can be used in other devices.
Please take a moment to rate the free answer I have provided
for you and
any testimonial which you might wish to add is always welcome.
