How to add recordings to your site.

1. Download Hypercam here.

2. Close all unnecessary programs (MSN, Internet, etc.)

3. Click "select region" to select a square to record, or "select window" to record a program.

4. Press "Start Rec." To pause the recording, press F3. To stop the recording, Press F2.

5. When you have finished, click the "AVI file" tab. The filename is show in a box. Select the part that says "clip0001.avi" and change that to whatever you want to call your recording. E.G "Myrecording.avi"

6. Either upload directly to a video hosting site, my personal favourite is YouTube, or use a movie editor, such as Windows Movie Maker and then upload to YouTube.

7. When you have uploaded your video, you should get a URL and an embed code. For my video, the URL is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-s483a0FCw.

8. Copy the embed code and paste it onto your site.

Here is a recording made using the tutorial above:
