Webcamming

[Spidey]

Any fellow RFD people care to try out the webcam thing. Ive got MSN Messenger and found the webcam addition software for it. Just curious about who I am messaging to all this time.

And I dont mean webcam in a dirty way either.

Let me know. You can just PM me

[hp]

That's a good thing, considering that 99.9999% of people here are male! :P

[Keelie]

[wintech]

I bet you all would like to know how wintech looks in real life 'ey?

[TheGame]

keep in mind, you have to have win xp to web cam

[Zippity]

keep in mind, you have to have win xp to web cam

IF you do it through MSN, yes.

netmeeting's been around since what, win98?

[Spidey]

keep in mind, you have to have win xp to web cam

What are you talking about. You can webcam with any operating system. I have Win98 and MSN and I can webcam no problem

[towingwidow]

I think everyone's curious about what we all look like. I had planned on posting a picture, and then someone made some kind of post about things ending up on hot or not...

[Rehan]

keep in mind, you have to have win xp to web cam
Not if you have Logitech's IM Video Companion... It supposedly works with AIM and Messenger on Win98 and higher. http://companion.logitech.com/companion/downloads.html

[blainehamilton]

I've got an old webcam that I bought shortly after Win95 OSR2 came out. Great quality too. Better than my current Logitech Quickcam Zoom.


No Win2000/XP drivers tho. :(

[Spidey]

Im using a 3 com I got on sale at Staples about 2 years ago. Works well although its discountinued

[Spidey]

Well by the looks of it I have no takers on the webcam offer. Oh well, we will all have to remain as strangers I guess

[JLunar]

I've done webcam chats w/family back at home at chinese new year and stuff.

Don't do it for anything else, really though. Too lazy to make it work...

[jtcb]

Why does it always come to that. Webcam always equals cybersex for some reason. Question is why????

[stevethewheel]

huh? like 1+1 always = 2? Nobody asks why.

Now think about this before you buy. As soon as you go telling people you know that you have a webcam, what are they gonna think NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY?

hehe.

Well I started using them for setting up virtual classrooms in school. So the teacher could be in once city and then the students all over. That was about 5-6 years ago when it really first started. So when I think webcam I think that, not the other.

Oh well, guess we will never get past that :roll:

[blainehamilton]

It's people reading junk mail in their inbox that get these ideas.


I love using mine to talk with my parents in Red Deer. Sure beats paying 10 cents a minute for long distance.

[Spidey]

I use ours to talk to our freinds in the states and my brother-in-law in Toronto. Not only is it cheaper, but the video camera aspect makes it even seem the person isnt so far away.

[Spidey]

Have anyoen on here ever tried this with any RFDers. Thought this might be a good post to bring back from the dead.

Kind of bad choice of words don't you think? I never actually read the original thread though.

[nx2k]

i have a webcam, i've never thought of it as cybersex, i use it frequently with friends, especially those id ont' see that often.
i thout most webcams auto detect on WinXP and dont' need any drivers. my webcam did, i jus plugged it in and opened it and it was fine, i haven't tried with win2k though, but i was always under the impression win2k and lower needs drivers for all usb devices.

[YLSF]

I didn't realize that this was posted so long ago.. and then I saw a message posted saying something like "I betch you all want to see what wintech looks like " .. and I was like, "umm.. that guy was banned a long time ago, why is someone posting about him". And then I looked at the userid and it said Wintech!! I was thinking, geez, what is going on!! And then I looked at the date!!

[gosamburu]

lol...I fell for that too. Except I was more confused when I saw towingwidow's post. (until I got to YLSF's post today and realized this thread was super old.)

[Carnage]

That's what confused me too. I saw the post from towingwidow saying "no webcamming for me". I thought someone had made a dupe account or something, and had posted a really sick joke. Then I saw the date and it made more sense.

Lol, same, I was like wha Wintech? *looks over* :| *looks at date* First I saw April 1st, thought banned before, then see 2003...

[trini]

Pray It's not Vin.

[Spidey]

Looks like I freaked a few people out.

Thats good..

My job is done

[Spidey]

bump to screw around and bring back an old thread

[sonick]

haha, u got me until i saw Wintech's post

[Spidey]

haha, u got me until i saw Wintech's post

Is he still around

[Spidey]

Im bringing this thread back. Lets see if anyonme has grown up since I posted it 2 years ago :)

[nubbie]

Mmm... Inet se><0r

/nope!

[YLSF]

HAHA.. I got fooled again! I stopped right when I saw the "wintech" comment and looked at the date! Same point as last year!!


As for webcam chatting.. I never really saw the appeal of it until I actually used it a few times. When you see someone's reaction it is kind of neat so you can see if they get your "joke" or whatever.

[Tiberius]

webcams = cybersex or other colourful exchanges.... because... people are people... :twisted:

I actually was chatting with someone on MSN who I met online - I had known the person for a year or two and we were in different cities, so if anything we were just friends (it was a female) - although our intial contact was flirty in nature, nothing came of it due to geography and both of us getting in to relationships shortly after we met online.

Well... we hadn't chatted in months at one point and she messages me to chat (we weren't even close friends - different cities and all)... and she tries to get me to webcam with her. I had a cheap webcam, but it wasn't set up... and I didn't really want to bother... so I convinced her to turn hers on so I could see her at least...

She did...

Well... after her talking to me while I type back for a while... and essentially the most boring, awkward webcaming possible (me typing, her talking, the picture being crap quality, sound break-ups, some jerky video, etc...)... I suggest we should just go back to typing (so I don't have to ask her to repeat things, etc... and the cam didn't add much to things once I had "seen" her again).

Well... her response to this is to lift her shirt and show me her breasts....

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... ok... using the webcam was better after all! LOL (the quality sucked unfortunately... but it was good enough quality to see what was being shown!)

Ahhhhhh... the things I got to see that night... and several others... memories! :D

I can't help but think of the fun stuff now when it comes to webcams... my personal experience was that it was boring and a headache to use... unless...... things were spiced up...

[DJXP]

webcam is fun, but i tend to look at myself too much instead of the other person :twisted:

Was she drinking ;) Sounds like a story of mine but instead of showing me on cam, she flashed the people on the other end with me beside her. So I got to see it "by accident"

[Tiberius]

Surprisingly, she wasn't drinking! She just wanted to send a clear signal that she was interested I guess? LOL

Message received!!

I remember using a program a few years ago called IseeU or ICyou...Something like that.

Was kinda neat spying on people.... :twisted:

We used that for testing our virtual classrooms.

Theres a new version out now ICUII, but its a pay for program. It wokred quite well.

But MSN and Yahoo are free so thats fine by me

[Spidey]

What ever happened to Net Meeting. It still comes with Windows XP. Are there still servers available to it

[Spidey]

Found a cool utility this weekend called Timershot. Can set it up that your webcam takes snapshots. Can be used for security or to see if someone is using your machine.

Your PC has to be running of course for it to work,. Works good on my laptop as it has a bulit in webcam.

your supposed to hit PRINT SCREEN when that sorta thing happens!! :lol:


anyhoo,
well yea i dont think webcams need to be related to something nasty.....i mean i talk to my g/f using webcam, but we dont use the audio feature on msn cause its never really smooth.....we just type, and its nice to be able to see the other person. we're in different cities because of university, so its nice to see her from time to time......webcams are great. but if you dont really have anyone to use it with, i think tis pointless...

i mean how many guys really talk on webcam with other guys?? :confused:

even some of my friends who are girls, i feel awkward asking them to put me on webcam, cause i dont want them to think that i just want to stare at them or whatever.....so i only really use it with my g/f.....but its worth the money i'd say if you have a purpose for it

[Tiberius]

your supposed to hit PRINT SCREEN when that sorta thing happens!! :lol:


Ummmm... who says I didn't? ;) Camtasia may have been involved at the time...... hmmmmmm.....

Now since you asked me if I hit Print Screen... what about you?? Webcamming with your girlfriend could result in some Print Screen worthy moments when you are both really missing each other!! :twisted:

i've always wanted to know how to set up a "live feed"? do you know how? i think there are services but they cost $$$

how can i do it on my own? do i need my own dedicated server or something? could i do something if i had my own webspace + bandwidth? anyone?

[najibs]

If you are webcamming, make sure you get a webcam with a good lens like a QUickcam Pro 4000 from Logitech. Man, what a difference from my old Labtec cam. THe quality is amazing and everyone I cam with tells me that also. You can get one for like $80 OEM. Pricier than most, but well worth it!
