Our
pioneering flagship webcam software, and still the most popular choice
among iFriends chathosts, ifCam is iFriends’ own windows-based software
that runs on any Windows PC, including Win95, Win98, WindowsME, Windows
NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. As lightweight as it is versatile, ifCam
works wonderfully even on slower PCs and over slower chathost connections
(such as dialup modem). With support for the widest base of users, from
dialup users on 14.4 modems to the highest-speed iFriends users, ifCam is
especially adept at providing a superb videochat experience for the
millions of internet users who are still on slower connections, such as
AOL dialup customers and users in other countries. To learn more about

EasyCam
(LiveStream)

EasyCam
was developed by iFriends as the world’s only easy-to-use
"download-free" webcam streaming format that requires no
third-party applications to run on your PC. ("Download-Free"
means that you don’t have to download and install any special software …
it works from within your web browser!) If you can navigate a web page, or
fill out an online form, then you can videochat using EasyCam. EasyCam is
just like the name says: Easy. Even better, EasyCam is the only LiveStream
hosting option that works well even if you’re not using a high-speed,
high-end PC over a fast internet connection. (In fact, EasyCam is the only
iFriends hosting option that works reliably from large dialup ISPs, such
as AOL and Earthlink/Mindpsring). Finally, EasyCam is the only iFriends
hosting option that supports iFriends’ new "Traffic
on Tap" feature (released in late 2004). "Traffic on
Tap" (also called ‘CatCall’) lists your videochat and fanclub not
only on iFriends, but also – at your option – before millions of users
of iFriends-affiliated services such as IncredibleCams.com and
SizzlingCams.com. And like the name says, "Traffic on Tap" lets
you turn the feature on and off at the click of your mouse. Easy! For more

Windows
Media
(LiveStream)
   

More
internet users with higher-speed internet connections use Windows Media to
enjoy online entertainment than any other format. Requires that you, as a
chathost, to use a moderate to high-speed PC running Windows XP or Windows
2000 PC. Windows Media-hosted live sessions also offer another advantage:
All streaming-based hosting formats (EasyCam, Real Player and Windows
Media) offer a "capture video" feature which enables you to
create your own archive movies for use on iFriends and elsewhere. But only
WindowsMedia sessions can create archive movies that can be imported
directly to pay-per-view DRM/VOD websites like Pay2Play.com.
(for EasyCam and RealPlayer-originated movie archives, you must first
convert your movie into the Windows Media format, prior to importing to
Pay2Play). To enable iFriends users to enjoy you via Windows Media Player,
choose this format. click

Real
Player
(LiveStream)
   

While
the popularity of RealPlayer is on the wane, user loyalty remains high and
many iFriends users prefer it over other streaming formats. To learn more
