How many people have an webcam?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm thinking about getting one seriously because everybody is doing it. When you go to youtube and ustream is like new universe of life hrough technology. Should I get an webcam and talk to yall? I wouldn't mind talking too some aspies verbally.

My new laptop has a webcam built in as do almost all of them these days.

What should I do with it? Beats me.

A few years ago most of the webcam sites were a variation of "I'll show you mine if you show me yours"

The best use of a webcam is to have a face to face conversation with friends and family over the internet.

Count me in, my laptop is also a one with a built in webcam but it does get quite annoying at times, especially on msn when a whole lot of people ask to see my on cam...

I don't even have a webcam. Mum is so paranoid about it. Like come on, even if I DON'T put pics of myself up in public, I can still have webcam chats to my friends on MSN!

We have a webcam but it is hidden. It gives me the creeps. The idea of this eye watching you from the outside world.

I do have one. I only use it for video chat with my husband.

I have one built into my laptop, and I used to make little videos with it. I have a better camera now.

I don't do video chats (mainly because I don't know anyone else who would.)

soooooooooo big brotherish. I just think they will rig it so it's a two way thing, and technically others can intercept your video. So I don't have one and I don't see getting one in the future.

My Laptop has a built-in webcam.

I have a webcam and I abuse it horribly. Here is a webcam video of me watching tv
Note...I cannot be unaware that I am being filmed..so I keep glancing at the webcam...and even though the stims are normal and uncontrived, on viewing the video, I can't help but feel like I am "performing"
It is both a blessing and a curse.

got self-conscious and removed it

No I dont have one and dont plan on getting one either. To me its equal to meeting people IRL which I find way more difficult than communicating on the net like on this forum. I would have to think of how I look like, what clothes I have and how the background would be and I would reveal my face, no thanks!

no... I am not...trying to...anyway..but having the webcam on has some effect.....subconscious or not.
I became self conscious and set the thing to private..
I have so many videos of myself...I am not particularly ashamed of being on film/webcam...but from other people's reactions, I sorta gather that I somehow should be...

If I film myself "on purpose"...then I guess it would make everything while being filmed be on purpose...to a degree...
I was filming myself attempting to pay attention to a show I was not particularly interested..all the while aware that I was filming myself.....

Wow..that was embarrassing..it is gone now...it kept rolling on this page even after I set it to private, so I had to delete it....stupid web cam.....

it is fun for stop motion animation though....

(if anyone wants to see any of my dumb webcam videos, there are plenty on my YouTube page)
I have video editing software so I can do fancy things to the stuff I record if I like....like stop motion...I went through a brief stop motion phase...

I have a webcam, but it's not compatible with Ubuntu or Windows 7. I have to boot into Vista to use it

I have one built into my netbook.
