OLDER VIDEO CAMERAS/CAMERA DRIVERS NOT WORKING

OLDER VIDEO CAMERAS/CAMERA DRIVERS NOT WORKING AT ALL.

 

NOT SHOWING UP ON CAMERA SELECTION LIST IN CHAT OR ANY OTHER PART THAT LETS ME SELECT CAMERA TO USE FOR VIDEO

 

 

THIS  HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH OLD CAMERAS.

THERE IS A QUICK FIX WITH CYBERLINK YOUCAM. ITS WEBCAM SOFTWARE. IT CAN BE BOUGHT FOR ADVANCED FEATURES

BUT TO ACTIVATE AND USE YOUR NON WORKING CAMERAS ON THIS WEBSITE IT IS FREE (PAST THE USE FREE VERSION PROMPT)

 

WHAT YOU DO.

#1.INSTALL THE CORRECT DRIVERS FOR THE VERSION OF WINDOWS YOU ARE USING

    - I USE A PLAYSTATION EYE CAM (CL EYE FROM CODE LABORATORIES)

      BECAUSE IT HAS A WIDE SCREEN CAMERA VIEW.

#2.DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL CYBERLINK YOUCAM FROM THE WEBSITE LINK BELOW

 

https://www.cyberlink.com/downloads/trials/youcam/download_en_CA.html?r=1

 

#3 ONCE INSTALLED RUN THE YOUCAM SOFTWARE. AND SET UP YOU CAMERA ON SETTINGS WITHIN THE YOUCAM SOFTWARE.

  - IF IT DOES NOT5 WORK THERE IT WILL NOT WORK AT ALL. BUT YOUCAM HAS EXTENSIVE DRIVERS.

    LIKE A DRIVER TO THE WEBCAM DRIVERS AND IT WILL WORK. CHECK YOUCAM VIDEO OUTPUT SCREEN.

 - YOU CAN ADD EFFECTS AND SMILES WHEN YOU CAMERA IS WORKING. SO IF IT IS SHOWING YOU ARE READY FOR THE NEXT STEP.

#4 LOG ONTO YOUR ACCOUNT ON ROARING.BIZ

 

http://www.roaring.biz/

 

ENTER USER NAME AND PASSWORD

 

THEN HIT THE CHAT LINK ON TOP MENU UNDER THE ROARING.BIZ LOGO

 

OR HIT THIS LINK

http://www.roaring.biz/m/chat/home/

 

 

FROM HERE LOOK AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT. YOU WILL SEE A PICTURE IN A BOX. THIS IS YOUR WEBCAM AND SOUND ACCESS BOX.

HOVER THE MOUSE OVER THE BUTTONS AND IT SHOULD POP UP A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THE BUTTON YOU ARE MOUSE HOVERING OVER DOES.

ONE [VIDEO] TURNS CAMERA ON

ONE [AUDIO] TURN SOUND ON OR OFF.

THE VERY BOTTOM BUTTON IS WEBCAM CONFIGURATIONS.

CLICK ON IT AND FIND THE CAMERA ICON. IT WILL HAVE A DROP DOWN LIST OF ALL CAMERAS AVAILABLE TO USE.

SELECT [CYBERLINK YOUCAM]

ONE SET YOU CAN USE YOUR WEBCAM ON CHAT OR OTHER SERVICES USING VIDEO OR SOUND ON ROARING.BIZ WEBSITE.

 

HOW IT WORKS:

WEBCAM TO WEBCAM DRIVER IN WINDOWS TO YOUCAM. SOFTWARE.

YOUCAM SOFTWARE ACTS AS A WEBCAM DRIVER. AND HAS VIDEO PICTURE CONTROLS SUCH AS EFFECTS SMILES ETC.

VERY FUN. COULD USE MORE STUFF FOR IT. AND PROBABLY HAS A LOT OF THIRD PARTY MODULES FOR IT SO YOU CAN DO MORE

TO YOUR WEBCAM VIDEO OUTPUTS. I LIKE IT. TEST IT. YOU WILL SEE NOT ONLY WILL YOUR OLD WEBCAM WORK ON THE CHAT ROOMS NOW.

YOU WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO DO THINGS TO THE VIDEO CAMERA OUTPUT THAT SHOWS UP IN THE VIDEO WINDOWS IN THE CHAT ROOM

TO EVERY USER WATCHING YOUR VIDEO.

 

THAT'S AN EASY FIX. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANY OTHER WAYS, OR BETTER WAYS TO USE OLD WEBCAM CAMERAS NOT DETECTED BY THE ROARING.BIZ

OLD FLASH PLAYER CHAT ROOM CODE. PLEASE POST A REPLY AND LET ALL OTHER USERS KNOW YOUR FINDS.

 

THANK YOU
