I can tell you that Mac is UNIX-based so it's quite possible low end web cams would work with generic drivers (here's one for example if none are pre-installed http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net and also a list of known supported cameras http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iusbcam/configs.html). You wouldn't have the bloated software which comes with the cameras but you don't need it, especially if you have good lighting or are using a professional streaming program. I would recommend trying to borrow someone's camera and just testing the water to see if you like streaming before making an investment more than $30.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483529918841468838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794518577624287475.post-59881036878058883862012-06-18T08:20:03.943-05:002012-06-18T08:20:03.943-05:00Do you know how well streaming works with Mac user...Do you know how well streaming works with Mac users? Barring knocking down a wall wherever I'll be living, life choices have resulted in a Macbook for my studio computer.<br /><br />One thing I noticed is that most of the cheap "starter" webcams are PC only, which worries me. While they may not be ideal anyway, the small upfront investment is preferred for someone who hasn't done a thing with streaming yet. I've had many requests to start up, so I'll try, but I'm scared of teching myself into a corner.<br /><br />And, since the instructions say to check out some steams first, I'd love to see a sample steam by you two! (Sorry, Becca.) Since this blog is now tailored to my specific needs, I request marker coloring techniques for beginners! :3Christopher J Paulsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03093677283301857873noreply@blogger.com
