Can Built-In iSight and USB Webcam Run at the Same Time?

[dflacks]

Hello,

I am brand new to the iCam app and love it already.  However, I am wondering if it is possible to run two instances simaltaneously using the MacBook Built-In iSight and a USB Logitech QuickCam Deluxe WebCam?  I have been able to launch two iCam instances and can get one or the other to work but not both at the same time.  Is this even possible?  Any help would be great!

Thank you

Dave

Dave - I also just replied to your e-mail ... But I'll post it here as well.

I have been able to do this (use the Built-In iSight along with another USB webcam) but some users have had issues. I believe that is has something to do with the limited power or bandwidth available on the USB bus of some computers. (The Built-In iSight is essentially a Built-In USB webcam.)

Here is a forum discussion about it, along with some solutions: http://skjm.com/forum/index.php?topic=506.0

(One solution was to try the USB port on the other side of the laptop.)

Hopefully that will work for you.

Hi Stephan,

Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly.  It is true about what they say when it comes to your company's support!  Brilliant!  I will take a look at the forum discussion and see if any of those tricks help!  Once again, thank you and if I still have problems I will most definitely contact you again! 

You rock!

I am happy to say that after reviewing the link you sent me and choosing the "No Audio" option for my USB Webcam I now can see two instances!!!!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
