<hr size=2><h2><a name="#_Overview_of_YouCam">CyberLink YouCam Overview</a></h2>

<p>CyberLink YouCam is a software solution for webcam users.</p>

<p>The dual-mode user interface design makes CyberLink YouCam easy and fun to use. In the Instant Messaging mode, you can participate in a video webcam session with your friends, while applying instant effects in real-time. The instant effects let you add frames, filters, distortions and emotion effects to your webcam video. This allows you to enhance the video with these fun and creative video effects.</p>

<p>When you switch from the Instant Messaging mode to the Self-capturing mode, you can apply the video effects while you are recording your own video from the webcam. You can also take single or multiple snapshots that include beautiful frames or enhance them with the inclusion of emotion effects. You can then send the captured video and photos as email attachments to your friends and family. You can even upload the captured video to YouTube directly. Now you can be the superstar on the worlds largest video sharing web site.</p>

<p>CyberLink YouCam also lets you periodically expand the effects capability. You can download additional effects from the CyberLink web site, then import them into CyberLink YouCam. Your creativity is unlimited!</p>

<hr size=2><h2><a name="#_Registering_Your_Software">Registering Your Software</a></h2>

<p>Please use the online registration form or complete your registration card and mail it into CyberLink to register your software. You must register the
software in order to receive customer support and product information.</p>

<hr size=2><h2><a name="#_Software_Installation_and">Software Installation and Usage Notice</a></h2>

<ol type=1>
 <li><b>Before installing CyberLink YouCam</b>, check your system resources in order to obtain optimal performance.</li>

 <li><b>If you are running any anti-virus or anti-spyware utilities</b>, please allow CyberLink YouCam to register itself or some information may be missing.</li>

 <li><b>In order to avoid compatibility issues</b>, please close all other software and utility applications, including virus scanners and instant messaging software, during installation.</li>

 <li><b>You must completely shut down (not only hide in the system tray) your instant messenging software, such as Windows Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, or Skype, before you can proceed with the installation.</b> This is to allow CyberLink YouCam to properly install the video communication service that is necessary to enable the video effects during your video webcam session.</li>

<li><b>You will need to register a YouTube account before you are able to upload a video to YouTube.</b> You must adhere to all copyright terms as specified by YouTube. You are advised to check the copyright status of the video, and any included music, that you are about to upload to YouTube.<b> Neither YouTube nor CyberLink will be responsible for the video content you uploaded to YouTube.</b></li>
 
  <li>When you use an avatar effect, <b>please ensure the video size is above 320x240 and avoid a low light environment</b>. A video size below 320x240 is too small to track facial features accurately. Within a low light environment, such as a dark room or outdoors at night, most webcams drop their frame rates automatically, which will also result in poor tracking results. </li>
  
   <li><b>CyberLink YouCam's facial tracking ability for avatars may decline when you move rapidly or move out of the webcam frame</b>. When the facial tracking result is lost (the avatar's actions does not sync with your actions), please calibrate by placing your face in the center of the webcam video frame and then look straight at the webcam. CyberLink YouCam will automatically re-calibrate the facial tracking.</li>
   
    <li><b>It is recommended that you have sufficient free hard drive space before starting a timed recording</b>. If less than 150 MB of free space remains, timed recording is automatically disabled. If your hard drive is almost out of space during recording, a warning message will be displayed to notify you that the recording process is about to stop. </li>

<li><b>During a time-lapse recording</b>, audio is not recorded and the time-lapse effect can only be seen after the capture is finished.</li>

<li>The supported video sizes depend on the webcam device you are using.</li>

<li><b>Under higher resolutions (video sizes larger than 640x480)</b>, CyberLink YouCam only supports the photo snapshot feature. It does not support video effects, burst or recording.</li>
