WebcamNow is one of the original providers of live webcam chat communities

“Practice makes perfect” may well be the motto of
WebcamNow. WebcamNow is one of the original
browser-based live webcam chat communities in existence
today. They started out in 1998 with a goal to make webcam
broadcasting “simple, free and fun” for everyone. They
continue today to prove that high technology doesn’t have to
be intimidating or for the elite.
WebcamNow offers a control panel that is almost
self-explanatory. The ease of registration was impressive.
One doesn’t need to own a web camera or microphone to try
out the site’s offerings. This will however limit one to
receiving chat in text and viewing images without audio. In
keeping with their mission to make it free as well as simple
and fun, WebcamNow offers a free and a paid version.
The free version does have its limitation. Specifically,
the video refresh rate is slow, with images popping into the
video frame at a maximum of 6 frames per minute. By
upgrading to Speedster, WebcamNow images will pop in at 60
frames per minute, a much more virtual experience!
One of the nicest features may well be the ability to
create links on your personal website to your own live video
chat being hosted on WebcamNow. That and the capability to
create webcasts for multiple viewers, maintains WebcamNow’s
role as an innovator within the web-based video chat
services. This is one service that easily entices the most
diehard technophobe to spring for a web camera or microphone
to be in the full experience of live webcam chat.
