Webcam Publisher

Webcam Publisher is a simple-to-use application that allows you to capture footage from your webcam and effortlessly publish it online.

At program startup you can run a wizard to set up the camera for uploading, when it comes to the capture device, domain name and user credentials, FTP and HTTP publishing directory and time interval for automatic image uploads.

But you may also generate HTML pages and upload them to your website, enable immediate online publishing and make the app automatically run at system startup.

The interface of the utility does not excel in the visual department, but we must take into account the fact that Webcam Publisher has not been updated for a while. However, its layout is easy to navigate.

It is possible to load sample overlays or create new ones by inserting text, timestamps, tables, rectangles and images. You can cut, copy or duplicate items, view an event log, set up program sounds and enable chroma keying.

A bunch of configuration options are available through the Settings screen. For instance, you can enter email server information, change dial-up connection properties, adjust the JPEG quality level and make Webcam Publisher minimize to the system tray area.

The program uses only a small part of the CPU and system memory, hence it doesn't hog the computer's resources. It comes equipped with user documentation and runs fine, without hanging, crashing or popping up error notifications; we haven't encountered any issues in our tests. Thanks to its intuitive layout, Webcam Publisher should satisfy users of all skill levels.
