Quick Cam from Logitech

Logitech's Quick Cam
Logitech's Quick Cam is free software that comes with your Logitech Webcam camera. With Quick Cam you can make your own short Vodcast. Instead of just sending an email - use a more personal communication via your picture and voice. Easy to setup and easy to use.

I turn on the Quick Cam which provides a small drop down menu. The choices are take a picture or make a movie, change web cam settings, or setup Video Calling using various IMs. I use the mic on the webcam but you can use a USB ported mic if you want better quality.

When you have compelted your short (I keep it under 5 mintues) movie - save to a file and then post on YouTube.com. It is that easy.
