What are some decent webcams on the market for video chat?

Posted on 03. Sep, 2009 by admin in video marketing,

With the holidays coming up I would like to keep in touch with my family through video chatting.

FYI: Dedicated webcams are getting pretty slick, more affordable and have increased compatibility, but one thing many folks don’t consider is a camcorder will do the same work with better quality (usually) if they have ‘firewire’
If you have such a critter in your inventory, see what kinds of software configurations you can get, and perhaps use it plus save a couple of bucks.
One slick freeware app. is "Broadcaster StudioPRO" enables you to broadcast video files, desktop activity or streaming video via your webcam. The program acts as a virtual camera drive, and you can configure any webcam application (e.g Yahoo Messenger, Live Messenger, Skype etc.) to use the Broadcaster driver instead of your regular camera. Broadcaster will then act as a proxy between your webcam and the application, allowing you to switch between live webcam capture and broadcasting of saved files, or even desktop activity. In addition, the program also enables you to broadcast to multiple applications, allowing you to use your webcam with more than one messenger application at the same time. Broadcaster StudioPRO can also be used to record video playback from other media players or web browsers by placing the recording frame over the video area and recording it. The video can then be saved as MPEG, MP4, AVI or VOB file. The program offers some unique features, we particularly liked the ability to send desktop activity via Live Messenger (or other applications). The lack of detailed documentation however will make it difficult to use for novice users.
