HP MediaSmart Webcam Software

Most, if not all laptops, are equipped with a webcam to allow users to communicate via online services, take pictures and share them with friends. Usually, the big names in the business have their own proprietary software to handle these operations and Hewlett-Packard is no exception.

Owners of notebooks branded HP will get one powerful application that is able to manage all webcam related tasks. HP MediaSmart Webcam Software helps in capturing and customizing screenshots and videos.

With a user-friendly interface and easy-to-use functions, the tool provides a set of handy features for anyone who wants to play with images.

Accessible from the MediaSmart taskbar, HP MediaSmart Webcam Software will entertain you, but it can also be useful for some photo editing tasks.

The first thing you will notice is the abundance of effects that can be added to the snapshots of recorded videos. The application packs loads of frames, avatars, filters and distortions you can use to give a cool look to your captures.

With HP MediaSmart Webcam Software you also have the possibility to draw using either a paintbrush or a stamp, as well as add some so-called 'emotions' that relay to the images or movie clips.

There are several capture modes you can try when using this tool, like 'Snapshot' for taking a single picture, or 'Burst' for several photos taken in rapid succession. Also, if you need to record some videos, you can simply use the 'Capture' button.

The zoom options offered by HP MediaSmart Webcam Software will allow you to activate face detection and tracking or use the manual zoom to get closer to a specific area and focus exactly on what you want to capture.

If you're the proud owner of a Hewlett-Packard notebook, it's certainly worth to try this application, not only because it is perfectly integrated with the hardware device, but also because it is very easy to use and comes with a wide array of features to meet the needs of all users.
