Guru's Guide to Getting Started with Webcam Conferencing

Add this Article to your website/blog

Is it time for you to give webcam conferencing a try? If you have meetings not quite important enough to justify flying, but still needing that personal touch, try webcam conferencing.

Some webcams are still pretty spendy (well over $200) but you can find a lot of good-quality webcams priced from $28-$80. I like the Logitech models and have found them to be easy to use for a good price.

Your choice should definitely be a USB webcam. Installation is easy, and you'll be ready to go in a snap. My website lists a number of webcam brands/prices for you to review.

Family Usage:

Now that you have your webcam, how do you start with webcam conferencing? Easy. Try it out with your instant messaging software. AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, and Windows Live Messenger all work with webcams. Ask one of your friends to chat with you so you can sit down and practice.

Professional Useage:

Using your webcam for business? Chances are you don't plan to go down the "video-enabled instant message" route. You're more likely to integrat with your web conference software's video streaming features.

You'll definitely want to practice the integration with your web conference software. Figure out how to turn the video streaming on and off, how to adjust the resolution and speed, just for starters. By the way, if you don't already have a web conference vendor there's a great 14-day free trial available to let you practice. See this article's resource box for a link.

Tips:

Slow down! (Your speech, that is.) Webcam conferencing usually doesn't quite keep up with natural human speech. You don't need to talk like you're in quicksand, just remember to talk a half-beat slower than normal. This is a common recommendation for presenters anyway -- it's good to get in the habit.

In case you didn't notice in the earlier paragraphs, I recommend you practice a little. Give yourself 15 minutes to learn the features of your particular webcam. Some will even enhance the image (want less wrinkles?) if you like. Regardless, you'll want to understand what you've bought.

All done? Great. You're part of the webcam conferencing world. Have fun!
