CyberLink YouCam Editor's Review

Webcam is a PC peripheral that adds a new dimension to virtual or PC based communication. Whether it is for video chatting with a distant relative or conferencing with a business partner, this PC peripheral adds an amount of interactivity and dimension to computing. You can pick from various third party webcam apps nowadays. Cyberlink's YouCam has been an old time player in this segment and with the newest release, the company has introduced some practical features. So far, the fun element of this app was limited to adding some special effects and backdrop creation.

Installing the app is a breeze and you can use it with PCs equipped with Windows XP SP3 and later versions. The software comes in a standard and a deluxe version, with the latter version offering more bells and whistles. It recognizes laptop or desktop webcams instantly and external webcam support is also good. On older systems, the app takes time to load and run. You will need a multi core CPU and discreet GPU enabled system to utilize all its capabilities, as it is.

The interface of the software is pretty intuitive and even a first time user will not face much hardship in using its various features. As was the case with its previous editions, YouCam retains the fun effects. The special video backgrounds can be created with effects like snowflakes, dazzling twinkles etc. You can also make some weird mirroring effects with your face using the app.

A notable new feature included in Cyberlink YouCam is the ability to let a user log into a Windows PC by looking at webcam. The in-built face recognition technology of the app can also be used to make the user log into popular websites like Facebook, Flickr and Twitter etc. It is a blessing when you mess up with so many passwords for your online accounts. The app can also recognize when you are not in front of the PC. Then it either hibernates the system or locks it. The software offers support for HD video and now you can save videos in H.264 format.

Another nifty addition is the option to make PowerPoint compatible videos. It can be used to make presentation more personalized. Cyberlink YouCam comes with basic editing tools like brightness, noise reduction and exposure settings. The included FAQ and user guide of YouCam is adequate and you can also get in touch with the company via email.

Positive Points:
• Good background effects.
• Inbuilt face recognition technology.
• HD video support.

Negative Points:
• Not suited for older PCs.

Conclusion:
Cyberlink YouCam is a nifty webcam app that packs in some practical features too. The fun effects are useful for personal needs but face recognition technology can be ideal when you use lots of online services and do not want to be bugged with passwords for each. The support for HD video is also a welcome addition. However, you will need a fairy powerful PC to use the app without coping with sluggishness.
Rating: 3/5
