Can Glance show my smiling face on a webcam? How about streaming videos?
Sure! On a PC, power up your webcam and put it in “preview” mode so you can see yourself. Your guests will see you too. When you feel they’ve seen enough, hide the window. On a Mac, open the iChat Application, then from the Video menu, choose Video Preview and smile! Sound in a Glance session is transmitted over your phone line. See the next FAQ for tips. Please note: sound and video won’t be synced. Don’t forget that Internet services used by small businesses often only let you upload data about 10% as fast as you can download. This can limit your video performance to only a few frames per second. You can improve quality by playing the video inside a smaller window or by changing to a network plan that offers faster upload speed. Some video players on PCs write directly into your video card’s display memory, an operation that Glance might not detect. Please refer to this FAQ if your guest is unable to see your webcam image or video.
