I just hooked up my webcam but can't figure out how to broadcast it. I really just want to make it so that I can have my laptop with the camera in the backyard and watch the feed with my desktop i the house. How can I do that? Should I download an instant messanger?
Answers:
An instant messenger will probably work, but I think it will go out to the internet and then back to your desktop and use up twice the network bandwidth that it needs to.
It can also be done with vlc which I have done, but it takes a little mucking around. There are other free programs to do it with but I've found vlc had the best quality and control.

another one I've tried (there were others, but I don't remember what they were):
