I was having trouble accessing a friend’s webcam, so I was poking around with the HTML, and I found out I could bypass the HTML page with the chatbox and mp3 list and go straight to the cam image itself.
If the webcam link is http://webcam.com:8000 go to:
http://webcam.com:8000/webcamxp.swf?webcam=http://webcam.com:8000/cam_1.jpg
Make sure to match up the domains (webcam.com) and the port (8000).
The cam image is just n swf movie, which is handy because you can shrink down the window to a less intrusive size on your desktop, allowing you to see the whole webcam image without having to fit all your other windows around it.
