Favorite Web Cams

Favorite Web Cams is a lightweight desktop gadget that you can use to view webcams which are streaming online video content.
The application is easy to install, as are all Windows gadgets for that matter. You add it to your OS with two clicks, and from that point on, you are free to watch video streams.
After installation, whenever you launch the gadget, it automatically connects to the webcam and displays the video in a small window. The feed changes at regular intervals which you have control over. You can set the application to switch the images after 10, 20, 30 seconds or however long you think it takes you to get bored with them.
The size of the displayed webcam image is rather small. Just enough to make sense of what’s in the image and that’s just about it. You can’t resize it in any way, but you can place it anywhere on the screen.
Favorite Web Cams allows you to add as many webcams as you wish. For that to work, you need to enter the title of the cam, its URL and feed link. With a simple click of the “Save” button, the new cam is in rotation with the rest.
Though the gadget is said to provide feeds, you can also use it to create a custom slideshow with images that you find online. Instead of the feed link, you can enter addresses for images that you like.
In closing, Favorite Web Cams is a nice gadget to have around, no matter if you’re streaming video feeds from webcams or images but considering that gadgets have been discontinued, you won’t be able to enjoy it much longer.
