WEB CAM.

CyberLink YouCam Overview
CyberLink YouCam is a software solution for webcam users.
The dual-mode user interface design makes CyberLink YouCam easy and fun to use. In the IM (Instant Messaging) mode, you can participate in a video webcam session with your friends, while applying instant effects in real-time. The instant effects let you add hats, masks, scene environments, frames, avatars, filters, distortions and emotion effects on your webcam video. This allows you to enhance the video with these fun and creative webcam effects.
When you switch from the IM mode to the Stand Alone mode, you can also apply the effects while recording your own video with your webcam. You can also take single or multiple snapshots that include beautiful frames or enhance them with the inclusion of emotion effects. You can then send the captured videos and photos as e-mail attachments to your friends and family. You can even upload captured video to YouTube®, or capture photos and videos to Facebook®, directly from within the program. Now you can be the superstar on the world’s largest video sharing web site.
To bring you superior webcam experience, CyberLink YouCam now supports high-definition resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio.
CyberLink YouCam also lets you expand its effects capability. You can download additional effects from the DirectorZone web site, and then import them into CyberLink YouCam. With CyberLink YouCam, your creativity is unlimited.

Registering Your Software
Please use the online registration to register your software. You must register the software before receiving customer support service and product information.

Software Installation and Usage Notice
Before installing CyberLink YouCam, check your system resources in order to obtain optimal performance. When installing on Intel Atom or similar level platform, CyberLink YouCam will auto-detect and provide optimized performance settings.
If you are running any anti-virus or anti-spyware utilities, you must allow CyberLink YouCam to register itself or some information may be missing.
In order to avoid compatibility issues, close all other software and utility applications, including virus scanners and instant messaging software, during installation.
You must completely shut down (not only hide in the system tray) your instant messaging software, such as Windows Live Messenger or Skype, before you can proceed with the installation. This is to allow CyberLink YouCam to properly install the video communication service that is necessary to enable the video effects during video webcam sessions.
You will need to register a YouTube account before you are able to upload a video to YouTube. You must adhere to all copyright terms as specified by YouTube. You are advised to check the copyright status of the video, and any included music, that you are about to upload to YouTube. Neither YouTube nor CyberLink is responsible for the video content you uploaded to YouTube.
You will need to sign up a Facebook before you are able to upload a media to Facebook. You must adhere to all copyright terms as specified by Facebook.
When you use avatars, accessories, or the other face tracking features, ensure the video size is above 320x240 and avoid a low light environment. A video size of 320x240 or below is too small to track facial features accurately. Within a low light environment, such as a dark room or outdoors at night, most webcams drop their frame rates automatically, which results in poor tracking.
CyberLink YouCam's facial tracking ability may decline when you move rapidly or move out of the webcam frame. When the facial tracking result is lost (the face tracking does not sync with your actions), you can calibrate by placing your face in the center of the webcam video frame and then look straight at the webcam. CyberLink YouCam will automatically re-calibrate the facial tracking.
It is recommended that you have sufficient free hard drive space before starting a timed video surveillance recording. If less than 100 MB of free space remains, timed video surveillance recordings are automatically disabled. If your hard drive is almost out of space during recording, a warning message is displayed to notify you that the recording process is about to stop.
During a time-lapse recording, audio is not recorded and the time-lapse effect is only viewable after the capture is complete.
The supported video capture resolution depends on the webcam device you are using.
Under higher resolutions (video capture resolution larger than 640x480), CyberLink YouCam supports the photo snapshot feature and AVI video recording. However, it does not support the use of effects.
Microsoft PowerPoint files with the extension PPTX, are not supported in the IM sharing mode if Microsoft Office 2007 is not installed on your system. However, if you are using Microsoft Office 2002/2003, you can install a converter from Microsoft to view these files in the IM sharing mode.
