What is ByteCam?
|
|
ByteCam is a module that adds Video and Voice broadcasting to mIRC.
|
|
What's the difference between Public and Private broadcast modes?
|
|
In Public mode, your video is sent to the ByteCam Video server and distributed to viewers from there. In this mode,
you only use the resources of one TCP connection and anyone using ByteCam can view your video.
In Private mode, each viewer that you invite will connect directly to your computer to receive your video broadcast.
In this mode, each viewer is a seperate TCP connection and only those you invite will be able to view your video.
