    you all know how it has that auto settings built in thing right, and how it changes contrast and brightness depending on your surroundings, well ill be on stickam with some friends and the webcam will go REALLY DARK, the only way you can see me is if literally have my eye up against the cam.


    where can i turn off the auto settings to manual.

    i had a similar problem with facebook. you got to right click the webcam area and change the settings. there should be sound/recording/webcam etc and click on webcam to adjust your cache and etc.
    otherwise just go to the setting tab in the webcam that usually starts up with windows

    blame the teenage employees that dont care.


    i just go grab a red bull and walk around the isles, taking candy, chocolate and pokemon cards, then when the red bull is empty i walk out, and on my walk home, i eat the dove chocolate and mountain dews.


    i take a whole backpack full of stuff home, keeps me happy for about a week. which is why i go every thursday
