Does anyone know how to set up a live stream webcam. I would like to set one up to show the lovies going about thier normal business

[dieflying]

i use ustream. its the easiest way i've found.

[Triock]

ok, am complete novice at this so will see how i get on , lol

[Triock]

ok see i cant even find ustream, lol

erm.. what sort of a computer do you have..
because if you have a mac.. you can use quick time.. and it will capture it off your laptop with the camera installed in it..

I guess I should be lucky that I have a webcam built in my laptop ;)

[dieflying]

i can't figure out how to get my webcam to stream off of quicktime.

for future reference, in case the original poster cares -

www.ustream.tv

then you just click to sign up. it's free. then you can create a channel, that's pretty straight forward, and click broadcast now, and it will ask you to allow it access to the camera, then it will start broadcasting in a new window.

[dieflying]

[dieflying]

i see it now. maybe it was just taking time to load.

[Triock]

kool, thx for ur help couldn't have done it without ur suggestion to use ustream :)

[dieflying]

That little yellow guy sure is bopping around a lot! Too fun to watch. Since I don't have one to watch myself yet. :)

[Triock]

thats harry hes a very active DEC yellow fischer, the blue cobalt is Wilma, nest door are Will (green) & Grace (yellow) they tend to be a bit shy

[dieflying]

Yeah, all I can see of them is a little swinging of the perch.

You should put the link on your profile or signature so we can check back! :)

[Triock]

oh how do u do that then , lol do i just post that link there?

[dieflying]

Oh, if you click "User CP" at the top of the screen, on the left side, just down a little it says "Edit Signature". You can paste the link there and then whenever you post we can click on it. That's probably the easiest way!

[Triock]

done :)
