Yawcam is a very simple webcam program. It's a very small program that is very easy to use and easy to understand but packs in a lot of features.

It allows you to easily stream your webcam online so that other viewers can watch it. You can set up an automatic schedule for when it will be streaming, so you don't have to activate it manually. You can enable automatic filters for it to have some fun and put on a funny show for your viewers. It's also possible to set it on a motion detection mode so it will automatically start streaming when it detects motion.

There are a number of simple settings available in the settings window where you can set things like scaling or stream type. You can go through advanced settings as well if you would like more input into exactly what is happening.

It's possible for you to see the number of people watching your webcam from the program as well. This would let you see how popular your broadcasts are, which is always good and useful information.

Additionally, Yawcam has a console window which lets you see important information output from the program. This would show you things like errors, and it has to try to connect to the internet or your webcam. This is really useful for troubleshooting your program.

Overall Yawcam is a compact, easy to use program. It's fast and efficient. There's really no reason you shouldn't try it! It's absolutely free, although the developer does accept donations if you should feel so inclined. It's compatible with all versions of Windows starting from 2000, and it simply needs DirectX 9, Windows Media Player 9, and Java Runtime Environment 6 to run. Its simple installer will tell you what, if anything, you're missing and guide you through getting those files.

Yawcam allows you to do anything you want with your webcam easily.

Yawcam, by Magnus Lundvall, is a super basic webcam program that allows you to easily stream your webcam online. It provides stats like the number of viewers watching your broadcast and assists with troubleshooting some network connection issues. You can even set a timer for automatic streaming. Not only does Yawcam make live streaming easier than ever, it's also completely free!

Multiple camera manager.  It connects to any computer.  It connects to anything connected to the internet.  Streams anything from meetings to seminars to movies to shows.  It also acts as video surveillance.  Good picture quality.  You can record and save the video.  You have more control over this software product.  Newer versions have the capability to take pics and videos and save them.  The picture quality is better.

This webcam control software is great, it allows you to use your webcam to its fullest potential by allowing video streaming, motion detection, taking pictures, and it's also very lightweight, making it optimal for lower end systems. I would definitely recommend checking it out.

Isaac

Awesome software with a myriad of features. I personally use the streaming, recording, and FTP upload features the most. Yawcam handles well and intuitively and has a lot of customization in its settings. I appreciate how simple the program is to use, without compromising by removing useful tools.
If you are in need of a good video suite with a ton of features that's free to use, Yawcam is for you.

A Yawcam as the name suggests is a Webcam Software primarily for Windows operating systems that is written in Java. 

The idea behind Yawcam is retaining the original features but also making it more simplistic and easy to use. 

Some of the features include (but not limited to) video streaming, motion detection, FTP upload, and so forth. On top of that what makes it a plus is that it's completely free to use.

Yawcam is a webcam software for Windows written in Java. This software has so so many features. Some of the features that this program offers is video streaming, image snapshots, motion detection, scheduler for online time, and the use of multiple languages. That is just some of the features that are offered. There is so many more features than I listed here. This program has made my life so much easier. I am so glad that I found this program. I love the idea that there are so many features wrapped into one program. I will most definitely recommend this product to every single person that I come into contact with in the future. I am certain that everyone that gives this program a chance, will be completely satisfied with all that it has to offer.

Yawcam is great webcam software to download on your Windows computer. Yawcam means "Yet Another WebCAM software." The webcam software is very easy to install thru the install wizard. The features I enjoy most are: streaming video, image screenshots, motion sensor, and time-lapse video. Yawcam is free to use but you are welcome to make a complimentary donation. I would highly recommend using Yawcam for Windows!

I recently came across Yawcam for Windows while looking for a webcam software to use. I saw that it had a password protection option, which I really like because I usually only use my webcam when I need to hop on a Zoom call and I don't want my kids using it when I'm gone. The image snapshot option is also really useful for when I need to document things during video chat. I also like using the time scheduling option because I am trying to be conscious about screen time during COVID and I would definitely say it has helped me be more aware of how I use my time online. Overall, I would definitely tell others about Yawcam and keep using it in the future.

Yawcam for windows starts its name with the ironical "Yet Another Web" acronym before the "Cam", but this nice bit of software does not have to rely on wit to get attention.  It is designed to run on a Windows PC using Java and consequently, it does everything all the other webcam applications do but is much simpler and has a user friendly interface.  There is one advantage of Yawcam that puts most competitors to shame and it is not one of the features like time-lapse movies or integral web-server.  Its true edge is that it is completely free.                        

Ewan

So many webcam software.  I've been looking for the one that right for me.  I found Yawcam for Windows and was blown away for this free software.  Yawcam stands for Yet Another WebCAM.  How clever is that!  It has all the features I come to expect from a webcam.  I can video stream and get snapshots.  I love the time lapsed movies.  I can make my videos look fancy with text and image overlays.  So cool.  I've been using everyday since I've downloaded it.  I love the interface.  This is web cam made easy.

Yawcam is your basic suite of software for your webcam. It's a simple tool with no real learning curve, and gives users all the common features they could ever want. The motion detection feature can be wonky at times, but overall users seem to greatly adore this software. It's also free, so any minor drawbacks can be easily forgiven.
