Using Your Web Cam & V-Mail

 There are many things you can do with your web cam.  One of them is to create, save, and send v-mails. (Video mail).  Maybe someone is having a birthday, and instead of just writing them an e-mail, you can record audio and video from your webcam and built -in microphone and send them this file instead.

After recording and saving the file, you just add the file as an attachment to an email. When the person gets your email, they can open the video with VLC, Windows Media, or whatever player they use.

I'm not sure if your computer has video recording software on it, but there is a great free, and easy to use program called Cam Studio. You can download it here. After shooting your video, there is another easy to use program for adding special effects and text. This program is called Many Cam.

Try it out. You can always shoot a video, add some special effects, and email it to yourself just for practice.
