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 world?s largest video sharing web site. CyberLink YouCam also lets you periodically expand the effects capability. You can download additional effects from the CyberLink web site, then import them.
