This week’s tip is way cool! And, it’s so easy. We have so much capability in our laptop computers these days – like that little video camera built right in to the lid. You should see it staring at you when you’re using your computer.
But … how do you use it? Picasa makes it OH-SO-EASY, just click one button and you can start talking into the camera. Click another button to stop it, then a third to upload it to youtube. Watch the free 2 minute video below to see exactly how its done.

I just ran across your tutorial on webcams and Picasa. I am using a Mac Book Pro, 10.6.8 and I don’t see the webcam icon on Picasa. Does Picasa recognize built in webcams or is this a Mac issue.
My webcam is functioning with Youtube and Photo Booth.
Any ideas
I don’t see why it wouldn’t work on a Mac, but I don’t have one available to test. Do you have the latest version of Picasa?
