It is only possible in some cases. Your web cam has to be connected and working in the first place and you have te have an internet connection... There is a program that allows you to watch the camera and even have audio. But it has to be smuggled into your computer first. The program that does that is a clone of the sub7. I did get it myself by a p2p program. That program only works with msn messenger and yahoo messenger, if the instant messenger isn't protected by a good virus scanner, and the file/printer sharing is on.\nIf you really want to be sure no one is watching....just plug the web cam and microphone off !

Make sure you don't have Skype or anything else that uses the camera running in the background while on Yahoo Messenger. The camera can only be used by one program at a time.

AS long as your webcam is downloaded on to your computer then on messenger when you click webcam it should come up.

Just download yahoo messenger and install it on your pc. Do likewise with your webcam and run the installation CD. Once you've done this, you're practically all set ... you might go to the tools or options menu on yahoo messenger to adjust image settings.

If you dont find programs that save the video from webcam directly into an AVI format, \nYou can find programs on the internet which capture the images from the webcam and save them.\nuse that to save images [lets say 4-5 images per sec] and then use microsoft movie maker to join them as a video.\n\nYour video's would be of bad quality. ;-)

I am asssuming you're using Yahoo Messenger.  On June 1st, Yahoo stopped supporting webcam for users of versions below 7, and since Yahoo hasn't updated it's Mac version of messenger in years, we, as mac users, are once again shunned.  They're trying to make the cam thing go faster, or they just want people with older versions to update so they will get more advertisements.  I have tried to use Jabber to communicate to my Yahoo friends.  I got the text to work, but so far, no video.

First: Dont turn off your firewall.\nSecond: If you are trying to use the webcam to broadcast to the internet, read up on how to open up different ports on your firewall to allow this. This totally depends on the application you are using for your webcam.\n\nIf you update your question with the application, I will be happy to help you some more...\n\nKEEP YOUR FIREWALL ON!!!!

You can use your cam in yahoo chat. You will need yahoo messenger to enter it.\nhttp://messenger.yahoo.com

Install it on your computer. \nIt should have come with a software. Start the software and make sure you are able to view the camera iamges. \nIf that does not help, then start yahoo messenger and then click on the menu on the top that says "messenger" and click on view my webcam or start webcam or something like that.. all set and done.

There are several to choose from\n\nBest is called Captured - http://www.oatmealmedia.net\nIt records yahoo, aim, msn, paltalk, camfrog, ifriends, and websites too, if you can see it, you can record it.\n\nAnother good one is - Cam Recorder - http://www.fakewebcam.com\nSimilar to the first one, just slower\n\nThe worst one is - Stickercam http://www.stickercam.com\nOnly works with yahoo, makes your computer lag, only captures new frames (not real time), playback looks like you hit the FF button, comes packed with crap to dress up your cam that no one uses, I could go on but I wont.

when u install it, it should have had a webcam program with it. \nor if u have a good graphical program do import and then choose source as webcam, or if u have a client like messenger installed click on webcam

Ok. You are talking about archiving. For some reason on your computer the archiving feature would have been disabled by some user who logged on other than you.\n\nSo, you have two options here.\n1. You can save each session of IM manually.\nTo do this, in every IM session, just press CTRL+S on your keyboard. It'll ask you where to save the conversation. Save it to a location that you think is best. \n2. You can re-enable archiving which will save IM automatically.\nTo do this visit this link, it'll help you out. I just don't want to spend time re-inventing the wheel.\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/im/im-47523.html

I think you have to use an external software.  CamGrab-2+ is one option.

It depends, unless you save them, i don't think so because its not recording its just sending video to another computer.\n\nHoped i helped
