Help!! - Live Web Cam Chat in a Captivate E-Learning Session

I really hope someone can help me with this one. I am doing an elearning session in Adobe Captivate which needs to contain a live web cam chat. I was thinking about creating a flash video to record the live web cam chat but have no idea how to do it. Unfortunately this is one skill that I haven't had the opportunity to learn and have never had to do this before. Its very new and sophisicated for me!!!!
Please help someone!!!
Many thanks
Lisa

Hi Lisa
Okay. Gotcha!
For starters, you won't want to use Captivate to capture the Web Chat. I recently tried some full motion using Captivate 4 and it's seldom going to give you anything remotely close to what you want. So you will need to investigate some other software to capture the Web Cam stuff.
Perhaps investigate another Adobe product called Visual Communicator.
Once you get something that is able to capture the Web Cam, it needs to spit back out a file in FLV or SWF output. You would then drop the FLV into Captivate. (Or present it in a frame on a web page).
Hopefully this helps a smidge.
Happy Friday! Rick

I cannot view a live web cam on my IPad2

I have Safari. Why can't I view live web cams?

No real idea since you post no details about the webcams. Perhaps they're streaming in a format not supported by the iPad. If you can post the URL to one or more of these webcams, we can check them out and then perhaps offer suggestions.
Regards.

Unsigned Drivers for Live! Cam Chat HD

I just bought this product today. When trying to install through the Creative Live! Cam Chat HD Starter Pack (Lite version), Windows 7 SP 1 sends up an error stating that the drivers are not signed and therefore cannot be used. After install, the live app does not see the camera. The Device driver notes that the following two drivers appear not to be signed:
CtClsFlt.sys
ksthunk.sys
Any ideas?

Did you RTFM? Sorry couldn't resist. So firstly, don't plug the camera in until directed by the setup program. This is a general rule of thumb for any USB device. Also Are you logged in as an Administrator? just to make double sure right click the setup programs icon and click run as administrator. You could even disable UAC for a few minutes if that still didnt work. Also you should be able to install unsigned drivers no problem unless you are on a work system with a policy in place forbidding this ability. In which case you probably aren't an admin in the first place. If you are not comfortable with any of the options I described go find a school aged male and any one of them should get ya up and running in 5 mins ;-) Sorry couldn't resist again.

Live Web Cam?

Is there a way to put a live web-cam feed into a iWeb Template?

Any certain type of WebCam needed to accomplish this?

You could try asking "nanco" on this old thread:

Web cam chat with face time

Can u use face time to web cam chat with wifi?

Not unless the person with whom your chatting is using Facetime.
Apple has made the code running Facetime open sourse, so hopefully developers will develop applications that can take advantage of the technology.

Please help integrated web cam troubleshooting..

Hello community,
I recently purchased an idea pad S10 with the 160g hard drive and integrated 1.3mp webcam. Problem is, the web cam does nothing but take rudimentary pictures. I was hoping to use it for skype video chats and sending video messages but it appears that I can only operate it much like the simple camera on my cell phone. ANY help that any one can offer would be greatly appreciated...What am I doing wrong? Did I miss something?....Thank you so much folks.

Maybe YawCam will help you to operate camera?

Baby monitor/live web cam

We have four iSight camera enabled Macs in our house, an Airport network, fast cable Internet, and a hosting plan with iPower as well as MobileMe. I would like to set up a Mac in the kid's room so that I can monitor him from other parts of the house/workshop when he's sleeping and also so that my wife can look in on "us" from time to time from her office in town. It seems like this should be an easy thing to do considering all the tools we have available. I just don't have a clue as to how to do it. I read the info on EvoCam's website, but I was hoping that I was already paying for something like that with what I have.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
It could be done with iChat.
On the Home Network the computer in the Child's room would need iChat to be set up with the Bonjour account Activated (iChat > Preferences > Accounts).
Then in the iChat > Preferences > Alerts you would set the top item to Video Invite and then lower down the AppleScript option and then select Auto Answer in the Drop down list.
In iChat the Bonjour Accounts takes the Mac User that is logged in Address Book > My Card detail as the Buddy Name and broadcasts this to the other Macs.
You would need your Mac to have iChat's Bonjour Account enabled.
This does mean that each Mac needs to have a different User Logged in.
MobileMe Account names are valid AIM screen names as well
You may need to shorten the password to 16 characters as a MAx as this is the AIM server end Limit.
Family sub account names will not work. So you may have to register for either an AIM name or an @mac.com name.
Your wife would not be able to Call-In if you were already using Bonjour.
However with 3 Valid AIM names she could Text you and then you could Invite her to a 3 way Video Chat (Join an existing Video chat)
This would require that you had at least 500kbps as Upload as well as download to support the two stream of Video from home and Host it.
( A 1-1 Video chat can be managed with as little as 128kbps Upload. For a 3 and 4 way Video Chat Apple says the min is 384kbps to be the Host but you also have to allow for the fact there will be two Video streams from your end)
Evocam
Evocam gets the Video feed from the camera and snapshots it as jpegs.
These jpegs are then sent to a web page.
If that page is local to you (on your computer or on a another home computer) this posting and refreshing the page can make for a stuttering look "live" video feed.
You may also have issue as to whether your ISP allows you to Host a Web Server. It is not always allowed.
You would also have to make changes to your Router set up to process Requests for the page to that computer that Hosts it.
If the page is on an External Server then the time taken to FTP the file up to the server adds more jerkiness.
I have version 3.5 which is not the latest but I don't read of any changes on that front on their site.
However it does provide the option of allowing more people to access it.
Koowy
Koowy is a Web Site that is free.
You go to that Link and enter a "room" Name.
This then creates a page (URL for you) that "Contains" the room.
Flash has to be Enabled on the Browser that is involved.
Once you are in the Room a Flash Pop appears asking you to Allow access to the camera.
(In some cases you may need to choose the camera type in the Tab for Cameras)
Once another computer or person has the URL of the room that can enter it and set up/Allow their Camera or just view the Stream.
Audio can be Muted.

Need help with no camera sounds & recording in Captivate 5

I am an experienced user of Captivate 3 & 4, but I'm having lots of problems with Captivate 5. I am working on a Windows 7 OS and have just installed Captivate 5. When I try to record I can't get any camera sounds, even though I have changed my preferences to show them. Also, Captivate seems to be recording erratically, and sometimes it is catching actions, other times it isnt' I am running the program as Administrator and I am very puzzled by this. Normally Captivate has worked like a charm out of the box. Now it seems to be fighting my every step of the way. Am I missing something?
Audio recording seems spotty too. Sometimes it works just fine, other times Captivate just hangs and doesn't really record any sound.
Any help would be appreciated/

Hello and welcome to the forum,
First to be sure: did you install the patch released in December (Help, Updates...)? If not try that first of all. You can find details about the issues solved by this patch in this blog post:
Patch for Captivate 5
If this doesn't help, try to clear the cache (Preferences, Global).
Perhaps (not sure) your Preferences folder has become corrupt. It so, try to find it. In Win7 normally it is a folder (Captivate 5) in this path:
\users\<username>\appdata\local\adob
Maybe you will have to change the settings to make this folder visible in Explorer, by default it is in a system folder and invisible. You can delete this folder (while CP is closed) and when you restart CP a brandnew one will be created.

Web Cam NB205 325BN

I installed both Skype and Windows Live Messenger. I ran the audio and video tests on both and the audio was fine on both programs. Theproblem is the Video. All I have is a Blue Screen with bubbles on it. When I clicked on the video test the small blue light did wotk but no video.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Sounds like you somehow have activated the web camera Effects - Screen Cover image option. Open the Toshiba Web Camera Application, then select Effect, then select the Screen Cover tab, and then select the Off option, and then click OK to save the setting change. Once done, The blue bubble image that is shown in the live web cam video window should go away and you should now have live web cam video. If you get a picture frame around the live video then check the Picture Frame tab and ensure it's set to Off.

Need java script to play web cams.

What can I install that is like java script on my Samsung Galaxy tablet that will allow me to view live web cams?

Javascript comes by default as part of Firefox. It is likely that the site with the webcam is not set to detect Firefox correctly. We cannot fix the site, contact the site owner and alert them to this problem. This assumes that it is a image based web cam and not an Adobe Flash based webcam.

Chatting and web cams help!!

my boyfriend doesnt have a mac and wants to get a web cam so we can chat, will any web cam work with my mac?

Your MacBook already has a webcam built-in.
As far as services go, since your boyfriend doesn't have a Mac, I think Skype would be the best choice for cross platform chatting. Or AIM.
Good Luck.

How do I use my web camera to chat and take photos?

Captivate Video Recording via web cam?

Is it possible to do Captivate Video Recording via USB web cam? All I can see so far is about its ability to record screens and applications, but not do an actual video recording via a video camera input. Audio is no problem allowing you to insert audio from a file or do a live audio insert. Video however seems limited to insert from a file only. This would seem to imply you need a separate video recording application to capture video via a camera input, which is obviously disappointing if that's the case.

Thanks. Hopefully they will add this basic functionality to Captivate ASAP. It's a missing fundamental element. i.e. to be able to add video annotation to your slides. Lectora Publisher does it and so should Captivate in my view, given it's supposed to be among or overall ahead of the leading products. Seamless audio / video annotation is a very common requirement nowadays.
