Enabling CyberLink YouCam

You must first enable CyberLink YouCam before you can use it with your instant

messaging software. The following example demonstrates how to enable

CyberLink YouCam within Windows Live Messenger.

Note: depending on the type of instant messaging software you are using, the procedure

to enable CyberLink YouCam will differ. Consult the help for the instant messaging

software you are using and see the section on selecting webcam or something similar.

Launching CyberLink YouCam

CyberLink YouCam is launched in one of the following two ways:

• automatically when you begin a webcam session with an instant messaging

software.

• manually from the start menu, desktop shortcut or the icon in the system tray.

Note: you don’t need to start a webcam session to begin taking photo snapshots, capture

live webcam video, or to take a desktop capture. Just simply launch CyberLink YouCam

manually in the stand alone mode.

CyberLink YouCam Modes

CyberLink YouCam has four different modes, stand alone mode, IM* mode, split

mode and mirror mode. Some features are only available under certain modes.

• Stand alone mode: when CyberLink YouCam is launched manually from the

Start menu, desktop shortcut or the icon in the system tray, it will open in stand

alone mode. Within stand alone mode you can record and upload videos to

YouTube*, and e-mail and print photos. The Surveillance feature is only

available within this mode.
