Webcam connection ?

[slab288]

Hi guys,

 

Another question this time as title........about the Webcan. I have the CyberLink YouCam 3 which when I click on it I can see myself on the screen the question is how do you link up with others........say our friends in Japan as an example?

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance and advice.

Install Skype and register

 

Your Friends would need to do the same.

 

If you arrange it that Skype is open when you boot up and they do the same you can use it like video conferencing and call them.

It is free too. No call charges either.

It is totally free Skype to Skype.

It is your choice to have video enabled for the call or not.

 

There is a facility to search for friends that you know have a Skype account.

You then have to send a request to the friend to accept your call.

Once you have done this you can call your friend any time - as long as they have Skype up-and-running

 

You can call a landline (or mobile I think) and charges apply for this.

I think you need an account with Skype to be able to do this.

Skype is now owned by Microsoft , so if you have a windows live account you can use it to log into Skype , there are other video calling programs out there but personally Skype does the job for me, if you want to use it for calling landlines/mobiles you can either buy credit or upgrade to premium service
