Installation
If CyberLink YouCam did not come preinstalled
on your computer, or you need to
reinstall the program, follow these simple
steps to install the program on your PC.
Before Installing
Before you install CyberLink YouCam, here
are a few recommendations to ensure that
the installation goes smoothly.
• Make sure you have installed the
instant messaging software you want
to use with the program before you
install CyberLink YouCam. This helps
ensure the program properly installs
the video communication service that
is necessary to enable the video
effects during video webcam calls. If
you install any instant messaging
software after, see "Launching in IM
Mode" on page 3 for help on enabling
it for CyberLink YouCam.
• Close all other applications, including
anti-virus software.
YouCam Installation
To install CyberLink YouCam on your
computer, do this:
1. Double-click on the CyberLink
YouCam executable file to start the
setup program.
2. If a previous version of CyberLink
YouCam is already installed, you are
asked to uninstall. Click Yes to
uninstall. After the uninstall is
complete, proceed to the next step.
3. Follow the instructions to enter the
Serial Number and change the
installation path if required.
4. Setup will start the installation
process. Click the Finish button once
the installation is complete.
Using YouCam
Once CyberLink YouCam is installed on your
computer, double-click on the desktop
shortcut to launch the program in Stand
Alone mode.
CyberLink YouCam Modes
CyberLink YouCam has four different modes,
stand alone mode, IM mode, split mode
and mirror mode. Some features are only
available in certain modes.
HD Video Support
CyberLink YouCam supports high-definition
(1280x720) video capture if your webcam
supports it.
First, make sure to check that:
• your system meets the minimum
system requirements.
• the resolution of your webcam
supports HD video streaming.
• the latest webcam driver is installed.
Trouble-Shooting
The following outlines the steps required to
ensure CyberLink YouCam launches
correctly in the available modes.
Note: if after following these steps you still
cannot get video and/or audio from your
webcam, it is recommended that you
contact the webcam manufacturer, as there
may be an issue with the hardware.
Launching in Stand Alone and
Mirror Mode
If there is no webcam video or audio when
CyberLink YouCam is launched:
• ensure that your webcam is properly
plugged into your computer. If your
webcam is built into your computer
(i.e. in a notebook computer), ensure
that it is not disabled. Contact your
webcam manufacturer for assistance
on enabling built-in webcams.
• ensure that no other program is
currently open and using the webcam.
