There are a few ways to record yourself online using your smartphone. The first way is to use YouTube. You can use the app on your phone to record a video and then upload it to YouTube. The second way is to use Google Hangouts. You can use the app on your phone to record a video and then send it over Google Hangouts. The third way is to use Skype. You can use the app on your phone to record a video and then send it over Skype. The fourth way is to use Facebook Live. Facebook Live is a new feature that was just announced by Facebook. It’s an app that you can download on your phone that will let you record a video and then share it with your friends in real-time.
YouTube Webcam Capture
To capture a video of yourself online, go to the YouTube upload page and select the webcam capture option.
Webcam capture will start automatically and you can click the Start recording button to begin recording your video selfie.
When you click the button, a popup will appear asking if you would like YouTube to have access to your camera and microphone. Click the Allow radio button and check the Remember box. Depending on your OS and browser, you may get another popup message from the browser itself that asks you whether you want to allow or deny access to your camera. Once I clicked that, it started recording. ..
When you are done, click the Stop recording button. Now you’ll have the option to either start over or to upload the video to YouTube. That’s about it for recording videos using your webcam and uploading them to YouTube. ..
YouTube doesn’t offer a lot of options for adding fun and special effects to videos. If you want to add these features without having to edit the video, then you should check out Fotofriend. ..
Fotofriend Video Effects
I found Fotofriend to be a great tool for creating videos. It has a lot of cool video effects that you can use in real time when recording your video. First, allow access to your webcam and microphone and then you’ll automatically see a grid of four effects that you can choose from. You can also click on the left and right arrows to see more effects. All in all, they have about 56 different video effects. ..
The effect you select will load the screen with that effect and a couple of options. You can only choose a recording length of 10 seconds, 30 seconds or 3 minutes. The reason they came up with those values, I have no idea. You can also switch it to high quality if your webcam has HD resolution.
To start recording a new video, click the New Video button. If you like the video you’re currently recording, just click the Save Video button and it’ll be saved to your hard drive as an FLV file. You can then upload that FLV file to YouTube without any need to convert or alter it. ..
There are a few other sites you can use to record video online, but for the vast majority of people, these two options will be just fine. I found no other site that had good video effects like Fotofriend, so if you know of one, please post it in the comments. Enjoy! ..
