How To: Broadcast your Webcam Live
First, if you want to use your Web Cam make sure no other application is using it. (e.g. MSN, AIM, Photo Booth, etc.) Usually only one application at a time can access your Web Cam. Be sure the camera you are using is plugged in and on before launching your web browser.
