Sclipo launches Webcam Record

Posted on November 4, 2007

Creating and uploading tutorials to Sclipo has just become much easier with Webcam Record. This new feature allows you to create and upload videos instantly with the webcam of your computer.

With Webcam Record, we are adding a second tool (the first was SclipoLive) that allows our members to create content in addition to publishing it.

Here is how Webcam Record makes sharing your skills so much easier:
1. No digital camera needed! You do not need an (expensive) digital video camera to film your skills. Any computer webcam will do (by the way, a decent webcam costs only around $20-30, a really top webcam costs around $100).
2. No lengthy file transfer needed! You do not need to transfer the video file from your camera to your computer.
3. No export or compression needed! You do not need to compress or export your video file with a video editing software. Webcam Record does all that work for you.

Yes, a webcam is probably no good to film your mountain bike tutorials, but there are many skills you can nicely capture, like for example cooking, language or any music / singing lessons. Our Webcam Record allows you to pause the recording, so you can easily create different chapters.

Here a video tutorial showing how Webcam Record works.

To use Webcam Record, just go to Upload. After describing your video, select Webcam Record to create and upload it.

Oh, have I mentioned that Sclipo is the first social learning network to offer such a feature? We hope you like it!
