Question

Hi Richard,

I discovered this week that YouTube no longer supports using your webcam to record video. They’ve suggested a few different tools as alternatives, but I was wondering if you’d recommend any web based tools that could be used by both Mac and PC users. I’m planning a workshop about creating your own videos and I’d like to show the same tool to all our faculty.

Thank you!
Debbie

Richard shared one of his favorite tools, Google+ Hangouts On-Air, as the way to address Debbie’s question. Richard also shares his thoughts on why YouTube has taken away this feature.
