We don't have a webcam thread on here yet, it's about time! :-)

Knezzen and me were chatting on Hotline today about how awesome it'd be to have a webcam connecting up to our 8600s and do some web conferencing 90's style.

Or offering a streaming webcam for the joy of it. Like S7T original admin Dan Palka had a webcam of his basement up on the S7T Stripcam page for many years, which was a fun idea!

Anyone got a webcam for System 7?

Does anyone know any models to look for besides the ever-famous Connectix QuickCam?

Anyone used a webcam with their System 7 Mac ever?

There was the Apple QuickTime Conferencing Kit which had a rather chunky webcam.  I think that  camera required a Mac with A/V input capabilities though.

Jesus, there’s one on eBay for £100 + £35 shipping from usa. Would be hilarious 🤣 on a b&w compact.

Wouldn’t it just 1-bit pixelization on video, everyone would look like those criminals on police shows with the pixelated faces lol 😂

I want the webcam now

hahaha :D

Yeah, it'd certainly would be cool to ge to know more models so we could widen our search. Contemporary Mac magazines should have at least once offered a market overview? I need to check my magazine shelf :)
