Webcam Watcher comes with a built-in Screen Saver that can display live webcams or pictures that have been previously captured.

To set up and enable the screen saver, use the normal windows screen saver dialog :

right-click on the desktop
select Properties
click the Screen Saver tab
Select Webcam Watcher from the list of screen savers
Click Settings to change the way the screen saver works.

The Webcam Watcher screen saver uses the webcam folder and webcams set up in the main program.

If your PC is connected to the Internet when the saver is running, live pictures are displayed (by default). If the PC is not connected to the Internet or there are problems fetching a picture, a previously captured picture is shown.

You can edit the list of webcams shown in the screen saver using Edit > Screen Saver Webcam List
