Well I couldn’t get it to work in the 2 minutes I had left at the end of the day to play with it, but YouTube now allows you to record yourself from within YouTube, using your own webcam. So what’s the next obvious choice? Allow you to record your own desktop directly to YouTube! I wonder if this would take care of the problem folks have of fuzzy screencaptures after conversion? Time will tell – I predict this feature will be made available in February ’07. Early February. Maybe February 2nd.

There’s a quicktime component for MacOSX that treats your screen like a video source. It’s really hackish, and I haven’t tried it for awhile (don’t even have a link handy) but using that to set your “camera” as your desktop should work with YouTube… Hmmm. That could be really cool…
Not sure–but might this be already possible using the Camtasia live video output driver? Let YouTube see camtasia’s output as if it were a webcam?
Have to play with it and see what happens.
