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

messaging software you are using and see the section on selecting a webcam or

something similar.

setup.

Webcam Splitter from the drop-down menu.

Launching CyberLink YouCam

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

• automatically when you begin a webcam video call 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.
