How can i make my built-in web cam private on my Mac book? I have a mac book (white one) and I use yahoo messenger and i want to broadcast my cam on private (only for one person that i'm talking to) because i am just tired of this request popping up on my page and preventing me from typing. How can i do that? Is it possible? Please help. |
| Use iChat.. It's built in to your Mac! iChat will allow you to only speak to one person, share screens with them, share files, photos, etc. |
How can I do this (web design, web cam, stream, private)? Read the details.? I have a web server I pay for and have a web site. How would I go about putting live streaming video using my web cam. I am leaving for a few days and I want live streaming video of my room through my web cam that I can easily view on my web site. I'd also would like to make the page private or password protected so only I can view it.
Anyone know how to do this? I need and answer kind of fast...I am on yahoo messenger (millithemortician) if you want to help.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!! |
Stickam provides a live web cam widget that you can post on your web site. Its free and you can set the preferences to only allow you access. You'll just copy/paste the code to your web site and publish. Registration is required, though.

Is my web cam private to 1 person or am i out there for the world to see? as soon as i am signed in, and in the Im mode, i was under the impression that the person i am chatting with can see me. Is it true that EVERYONE can see me? |
Well, more than 1 person can view your cam and, if you permit them, the room full can view your cam.
However, you can block unwanted viewers by rejecting their view requests.
Quite a lot of young hackers, however, know how to go around this rather simple protocol; so, if you don't want uninvited guests, the best thing to do is talk with your friends in a conference where others can not enter, unless one of the two of you invite them.

Will my web cam be connected to the public? I just downloaded webcam companion 3 arc soft from the internet? My netbook came with one, but i deleted it. HOw do i know my web cam is private and how do i know when it isa invaded and some stranger can see me? fist time webcam user. |
Typically a laptop has an LED beside the web cam that lights up during recording.
Try using your web cam to record some media to see if an LED lights up.
If no LED than it is possible a computer master can watch you while you are connected to the internet, or record you and when you do connect to the internet send the recorded data to him. However, this is a very unlikely scenario. Most computer masters concern themselves with profit, or knoweldge, not spying on people with webcams. Each webcam is different, so if there is an LED you don't have to worry about them switching the LED off during recording as that requires knowledge of the underlying driver so therefore they would have to be tailoring their worm specifically for you! If you don't know anyone capable of doing this than you have nothing to worry about.
Again though, if there is no LED you might want to stick a piece of scotch tap over the lense when you aren't using it. Although it is transparent nothing will be seen. An opaque tape could provide even greater peace of mind. Remember, this is just for peace of mind. The likelihood of someone spying on you via your webcam is extremely remote and usually will only occur if you know computer people and you are also extremely extremely good looking (which I am sure you are).
Hope this helps! |
If your in private on a web cam can anyone see you other than the one your in private with? if u have web cam set to request access can anyone see your cam without your knowledge |
| not if you have the settings correct in yahoo preferences - in preferences at the bottom where the webcam settings are go there and check them to what you want them set to |
