• How does it work?
  • Simply select one or multiple pictures from the hard drive, and start a slideshow.
  • You can move your webcam image to any part of the screen by dragging-and-dropping it with your mouse.
  • You can also enlarge or reduce its size using your mouse wheel - or simply choose to hide it from view and concentrate on the picture show.
  • Using the convenient hand-shaped pointer you can highlight detail on pictures as you talk your audience through them. Right-click to move the pointer around the window to a specific place on your photo.
• Does my contact need to have the same webcam and software?
