Web Cam Wont
Hi All,
I have a new toy. I bought a very small Digi camera which is also a Web Cam. It came with software, and the photo's are grainy but viewable. If I switch to the Web Cam I can see myself ok (urgh) but on MSN if I try and invite any friends to see me it doesnt happen. This is probably because some of my friends do not have a web cam? but should they still be able to see me? Other than that is there a site I can go to to try out my web cam with other users. I realise I may have to downlaod more software so a trusted site would be great. Sorry to be so vague.
Many Thanks for any help.

Lightbulb webcams
hey, your friends should be able to view no problem.

in msn, go to tools, web camera setting... and either play around with the settings until it works better, or find the button the automatically does it.(more within the gamma amd saturation, than brightness/contrast.

as for the grainy part, yea you probably didnt get an expensive webcam, and cant get around that. not many webcams make good cameras...

reply and say if anything gets better or worse =)
