And now, when you buy a copy of YouCam 5, you get brand new YouCam Mobile for FREE to transform portable Windows® 8 devices into easy-to-use, yet powerful cameras. YouCam has it all – for work, play and everything in between. Make no mistake, Rightlight is an excellent feature to have.Experience all the fun features and effects you can use when chatting with friends, or powerful utilities to enhance your work presentations, tutorials or video conferencing. In other words, you may need the Logitech software installed even if you don't use it in order for Rightlight to work. One thing i'm not sure about is whether Logitech's automatic "Righlight" and "Rightsound" features will be enabled without also installing Logitech's own webcam software. There are, of course, a number of settings and options/features available that i haven't touched on here, but rest assured that Youcam 6 is very good webcam sofware. This clearly implies that the Youcam software itself has low enough cpu overhead to achieve good 1080p results. As i recall, Logitech a few years ago recommended a quad-core cpu for recording at 1080p resolution, so we're pleased that the dual-core laptop Core i5 (with Hyper-threading) is powerful enough to handle the task. Just make sure other programs and internet browsers are closed when recording at this resolution. Since the Core i5 cpu is a pretty good chip we also tried plugging in our Logitech C910 webcam, and made a couple of recordings using 1920 x 1080 resolution and stereo sound. After that, i returned to using the 1280x720 resolution of the laptop's built-in camera which is satisfactory for most purposes. For me, the novelty of these effects wore off after playing with them a few times.

The effects / avatars are kinda cute or funny and will no doubt amuse kids to some extent. If you want to use those effects then you must set the camera resolution to a low-ish setting like 640x480 or maybe 800圆00 then apply the desired effect or avatar. There's a couple of features such as the funny special effects (give yourself a hat or mustache or halo, or a backdrop of an exotic setting, etc.) and the avatars all of which only work at lower resolution settings. It works great for all normal requirements. We have Youcam 6 standard on our Lenovo laptop (Core i5 2.6GHz / 8GB RAM / Samsung EVO 840 SSD).
