Main Window


Play/Pause
Allows you to pause and resume whatever SoftCam is currently sending. This includes audio as well as video.

Live/Stored
Toggles SoftCam between its default capture device and stored Titles. If you have multiple video capture devices, use the Options panel to set one device as your default live source.

NOTE: When the Live/Stored button is toggled the Play/Pause button will automatically toggle to Play.


Right Click on the LIVE/STORED toggle area and a selection box will pop up to allow you to quickly bring up your choice of device.

SoftCam Screen Capture mode is enabled by selecting that device in the options panel, and then toggling SoftCam to Live. The screen capture frame can be dragged all around your desktop. It is always on top, allowing you to concurrently use applications beneath it. The capture frame can be resized by clicking on and dragging any corner. The aspect ratio will be preserved.

Screen Capture

Smooth Filter is a higher resolution zoom method. A slower machine should leave this off while the screen capture frame is moved into the desired position. Then turn on the smooth filter for best resolution.

Screen Capture

NOTE: As you strech your capture area to very large sizes, your system will become more sluggish due to the resource demands of the video conferencing application trying to compress large areas. Stretching the frame to a large size is especially not recommended for bandwidth constrained dial-up users.
