April 23rd, 2009Frequent ManyCam Questions
March 26th, 2009Lately I have been getting the same questions over and over so I thought I would post a few of the most frequently asked questions here on the Blog.
Question: How can I record a video with ManyCam? Answer: ManyCam itself does not have the ability to record a video. You can use Youtube or any video recording service on the Internet with ManyCam. Just go to the settings of the application you want to use and make ManyCam the video source, then make sure the ManyCam application is running.
Question: How can I make ManyCam work with Stickam, Ustream.tv, Justin.tv, Youtube, or any other Flash video website? Answer: Right click or ctrl click the video window in Flash and you’ll see a settings window appear. Click the webcam icon and choose ManyCam as your video source. If you are using a Mac you may need to reboot first before you can do this.
Question: How can I uninstall ManyCam? Answer: For Windows go to the add/remove programs control panel built into the Windows operating system and choose the ManyCam uninstaller. In Mac OS X find the ManyCam application icon at the top right of your Mac OS X menu bar and choose “uninstall”.
I hope this answers your questions. For more details on how to use ManyCam with ceratin applications check out the applications page. Thanks for using ManyCam!

AVG ManyCam False Positive Warning
March 9th, 2009We have read several reports from users that AVG Antivirus is falsely reporting that ManyCam is a virus and this false report can block ManyCam from starting. Unfortunately this is not the first time AVG has falsely reported popular software as a virus. AVG has reported World of Warcraft, Google Desktop, and even the Windows operating system itself as a virus! If AVG has falsely reported that Windows is a virus and it damaged your computer there is a fix available here.
To uninstall AVG go to add/remove programs in the Windows control panel. There are many other free antivirus software products that are available like Kaspersky or Avast that will allow you to use our ManyCam software.

Nedscot just uploaded some cool graphics today, including my personal favorite called “cat wig“. Want to make it look like you have a cat sitting on your head? Try out Ned’s cat wig now!
Thanks Ned for uploading these cool new graphics.
Don’t forget any ManyCam users can add graphics to the ManyCam Effects Library. Check out the ManyCam Help page for instructions.
New February Effects
February 16th, 2009
A ManyCam user named “thebarnsleylad” just rocked the ManyCam Effects Directory today with some awesome new Face Effects.
We were very impressed by the creativity and work put into his faces and we especially enjoyed “Brains” and “Venus“.
If you want to make cool effects like thebarnsleylad check out our help area with detailed instructions. We thank you for your hard work thebarnsleylad.
We hope to give more shout-outs to users who submit cool graphics in the future. Without the thousands of cool graphics submitted by our users ManyCam would not be nearly as fun and interesting.
Thanks everyone!

October 20th, 2008ManyCam 2.3.21 is now available for download. This new version allows you to choose a blank color source, rotate your video source, zoom your video, set up a slideshow for images and more.
It’s easy to find and use these new features:

Server Upgrade Announcement – September 11
September 11th, 2008Today at approximately 10PM PDT we plan to upgrade the ManyCam servers. This upgrade could cause some temporary problems with new user registrations, graphics submissions, effects searches and more. This upgrade should be done by midnight.
Removing the ManyCam Logo
August 26th, 2008One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is how to remove the ManyCam.com logo from your video window. ManyCam is free so you don’t have to pay money to remove our logo.
To remove the ManyCam logo open ManyCam, then look for the “Text over video” category on the left side of the application window. Now click “Text over video” and in the middle of the window you’ll see “Show ManyCam.com Logo”. Uncheck that box and our logo will disappear.
Now nobody knows you are using ManyCam for all your cool effects, but we hope you’ll tell them!
