Are you looking for a program to take pictures with a webcam?

It may be a strange question. Me and my girls are looking for a program with which we can take pictures (snapshots) with the webcam on the laptop. However, it should not be a social network but an offline program that stores the images in the program.

We had such a program years ago but no longer know what it's called and we had a lot of fun with it on girls' evenings. Just for us.

There's a program in every laptop with a webcam that does this.

This is automatically included…

Of course that's true. But I'm looking for a program that stores the pictures in the program as I described it.

OBS (Open Broadcast Software)

With the https://www.videolan.org/vlc/ you can play back the video signal of a webcam and also take pictures.

OBS then you can also make other settings via image and can also record your screen

Win8.1 and Win10 have the "Camera" app for webcam photos and video recordings.
It is operated like the camera app on a smartphone.

On my PC, these pictures and videos are stored under "Pictures" in the "My recordings" subfolder.

Sl

Yes, in a subfolder. I know that. But I'm looking for a program that is more suitable for the purpose. A program in which the images shot appear directly in the program. Since there was already such a program around 2010 and we used it at parties at the time, we know that there's such a thing.

If I understand your dream correctly, it works with "Picasa".
See:

Picasa download e.g. E.g.: https://winfuture.de/...,2824.html

By the way, basically all recordings made on the computer are saved in a subfolder of "Images". - The Picasa recordings z. B. In "Pictures> Picasa> Recorded Videos".
