Hello seriousgamer247.
From what I've read, they can.
Can the xbox Kinect be used as a webcam? - Yahoo! Answers
It sounds like you might have to hack it a bit for it to work, but other than that it should work.
EDIT: This probably shouldn't be in the programming section, even if you've tried to achieve this by programming.
I'll see if I can get someone to move this into the Game support section.
