    Is there an application that would allow me to record what my webcam is viewing silently?

    I don't know how silent you want it, but there's normally some sort of webcam application that you can run and record a video with. if you minimize it and do something else while it's still recording, I guess your silently recording a video of yourself. If you mean you want to spy on someone without them knowing... I don't know of any app that can do that silently.

    Yes, but you have to promise you'll tell your girlfriend before you post it on you-tube....

    Followed by silently trying to get to the hospital after a beating.

    I just use my webcam software, I think it’s ATI, it’s super old. I like to spy on the cleaners who work around my office, they steal anything, including the laptop I was spying with.
