also e-mail or upload video to YouTube.

toolbar that lets you add graphic effects.
●
Special effects—Add frames, filters, and emoticons to your snapshots and video.
●
Snapshots—Take single frame or "burst" webcam snapshots in rapid succession.
●
Connect—E-mail photos and video using the icon on the software interface.
