The setup is quite simple: suffice to connect a webcam to the device and the application should automatically detect it and render the captured images.
With a minimalist interface, the main screen of the application presents a window for rendering the video. By default the screen is small but it can be resized for a better view.
In the upper part of the screen there are the menus of the application that allow customizing various options.

Easy to set up

The application is simple and the configuration settings are on the same note. There is the possibility to define the storage locations for the video and image data along with general options that enable starting the program with the operating system or keeping the video screen on top of other windows.
Additionally, if there are multiple cameras hooked to the system the product allows selecting the one it should focus on. This is the device it can save the images (static or video) from.
As far as the video capture process is concerned, My ScreenCam is capable of recording in AVI format (static pictures are saved as BMP) and features options for adjusting the preview speed.

Overly simple video capture tool
