When using iUSBCam with DV cameras such as the popular iSight, a complete video settings panel is added to the program's interface. This panel offers even greater functionality, allowing you to fine-tune your camera settings to your specific preferences, including sharpness, saturation, and many other features.
With iUSBCam, you can even broadcast your screen as a video source - this is achieved by selecting "Change Video Source" and opting for the "Screen View" option. This is a terrific feature that remains available, even if you don't have a physical camera connected.
