I have a macbook pro connected to a dell external monitor. I was wondering if it were possible to use my monitors webcam instead of having to use the one built in on my macbook pro?

Yes it's possible if the monitors webcam is Mac OS X compatible. If you do not have access to the system compatibility documentation for your monitor, Dell or the people who sold you the monitor should be able to tell you.
