Modern technologies make it possible to arrange video conferencing and communicate with several people at once, seeing their faces, without leaving home. With the help of videoconference, you can contact any interlocutor located anywhere in the world and discuss all the necessary questions in the right amount of time. Most often, modern webcams are used for video conferencing, but some people do not have the time or funds to purchase this device. What to do if you do not have a webcam, but you need to contact someone via video link over the Internet? An ordinary digital video camera will help you.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to connect a video camera to the system is to use the Video for Windows interface - video received from the camera through the 1394 interface can be obtained through DirectShow. However, not everyone has this interface, and also not everyone has a TV tuner and a video input, to which you can directly connect a webcam via the analog output.
Step 2
If you do not have the required interfaces and inputs, use the Te Veo Video Suite program. This program is supported by any camcorder, and you can use it for free.
Step 3
Download the program and register at teveo.com so that your camera appears in the main camera list. Get a link to the address of the camera on the network - after that you can easily get an image from your camera by clicking on its name in the general list. Email the exact address of the camera to all conference participants so that you can communicate.
Step 4
Since this program in the free version does not support working with sound, additionally configure Net Meeting to be able not only to see the interlocutors, but also to hear them and answer their questions.
Step 5
Additionally, connect the SoftCam utility to this program, which allows you to capture any video from the screen of your operating system. Install SoftCam, launch ScenalyzerLive, and in the NetMeeting settings specify SoftCam as the video capture device. Place the video capture window on the ScenalyzerLive window, stretching it to the required size.
Step 6
Thus, you will be able to communicate on the network with both video images and audio using a computer microphone.
