I want to be able to look at my webcam when I'm away from home. How can I do that?

There's thousands of people already doing it, I think, aren't there? You can find places on the web where you can look in on live webcams set up by ordinary people (and some extraordinaries) can't we?

I think I had this capability some years ago on Yawcam but now I find Yawcam will not run on my Win10 setup. I don't know why.

And I don't remember how Yawcam did it.

And all the googling I do doesn't get me an answer.

Some pages direct me to software like Skype - e.g. must have it installed at both end. Don't want that.

Some pages direct to cloud based stuff. I don't think that was it.

Some pages direct to webcam software that when I get it and use it doesn't seem to have the capability at all.

I was thinking it was pretty straighforward and almost normal.

Anyone know how best to do it? How was it implemented in Yawcam back then?

ah, yes, I know. Problem is that it doesn't. Splash screen flicks up for a moment and then nothing, it's gone.

Tried to chase it up on the web. Found others with the same problem. Didn't find a resolution.

Hence I'm here. :)
