Ever wonder how some Ustreamers are making those sweet shows?
Well it is EASIER than you think!
The two most popular applications Ustreamer broadcasters are using are Camtwist (For Mac) and Webcammax (For PCs). The programs allow you to stream prerecorded videos, images, scrolling text, logos, RSS Feeds, custom effects, picture in picture, LIVE video guests and even a alpha channel! These programs are very powerful and will dramatically increase the experience of your broadcasts.
Internet Icon Chris Pirillo (live.pirillo.com) today did a amazing video blog on his secrets behind his professional looking broadcasts and mashups. He uses Steve Green’s Camtwist to produce the effects you see on his site and stream.

You can dramatically improve your Ustream broadcasts by utilizing these two programs:

I’ve used SuperWebCam for a while now (superwebcam.com) – You should try that out. I also use manycam (as already posted) with superwebcam. With both of them, anything can happen.

Moff: ucanvcam is a webcam stream manipulator for Linux. It can’t do everything webcammax can though, basically it just does effects.

I have read this post. This is very much true. Even I own a blog account on video conferencing. Video conferencing is indeed a great innovation in technology and communications. One day video conferencing will be like an ordinary house-hold item in the next 5-10 years.I will mention your post in my blog.

ScreenCamera should also be mentioned. ScreenCamera allows users to stream the desktop inside video conferencing programs and websites such as Skype, Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, AOL Messenger, blogTV, Justin.tv, Mogulus, Ustream, and so on.
ScreenCamera can also connect to your Webcam and stream both Desktop and Webcam at the same time.
It works with a video resolution of 640×480 and it is hard to find something not to like about it. It is cheap and to me it is a must have tool for video conferencing.
You can download ScreenCamera here:

People may also try Magic Camera. It can be a webcammax alternative:
Besides act as a virtual webcam to stream file/screen/photo, it also includes all the webcam effects that webcammax has, such as: change background, frame, mask, picture in picture, transform effects, doodling, etc.
And Magic Camera has some additional features:
1)mutliple virtual webcam. (if you have mulitiple webcam or channels, it is helpful)
2)more powerful screen capture.
3)dual mode virtul webcam.
4)64 bit windows support.
5)open and more powerful video effects plugin system.
