Got a webcam for free (kinda, it's a PS2 eyetoy). I installed it on here. I know it works because i've tried it on trillian, but that seems to be the only way i can get the webcam stream to go up, I don't know how to launch it otherwise. Does Windows have a program or something by default that let's you see the webcam video (or stream, whatever it's called)? I wouldn't mind downloading a different program either. Just don't know what to get or what it good to use with it. I've never had a webcam before, never needed one, still don't either :p - Just wanna play with it a little. Thanks

I guess i'll just find a program that can do it myself, was hoping someone would recommend a good one though.

Sure there's not something built in to windows XP that i can use? I still don't know how to start using this thing. Like to get the video on screen or whatever. Haven't looked too hard for a program to do it though. Apparently no one here has ever used a webcam, which is understandable.

Really no one knows? I guess i'll just have to look for myself :p - I don't want to broadcast the webcam or anything, just want to test it out and see how it works. I see no webcam viewing tool anywhere here in XP.
