For some PC users, camcorders just gather dust on the shelves. Well, in the best case, they can remember the presence of a video camera before some significant event, and then again this device is removed for a long time. It is not difficult to find an application for it: this device can be used as a webcam.
It is necessary
- - personal computer with access to the global network;
- - video camera;
- - cord;
- - disk.
Instructions
Step 1
Connect the camcorder to a personal computer with a special cord. The operating system installed on the PC will automatically detect the newly connected device and ask you to install software for it.
Step 2
Insert the optical disc supplied with the camcorder into the drive, and in the window that opens on the desktop, click "Next". Follow further recommendations. As a result, the driver will be installed on the camcorder: a notification will appear on the screen that the camcorder is installed and ready for use.
Step 3
Open the Skype application: the software will automatically detect your camcorder as a webcam. This will allow you to communicate with other Skype users (not only hear them, but also see them).
Step 4
Adjust the received and transmitted image if necessary. To do this, in the main menu of the Skype application, click successively on the "Tools" and "Settings" tabs. In general, the image quality when using a camcorder is much better than when communicating via a webcam.
Step 5
To broadcast an important event in real time, install two or more video cameras in the room and connect these devices to a personal computer. After that, in the Skype menu, select the video camera with which you will work at the current time, sequentially transferring the leading role to the camera from which the broadcast is being performed.
