Off Webcams

Tear
Off Webcams are very powerful, they allow to continously
monitor a webcam while working with other applications.
Tear Off cams will open again every time you launch
iCamMaster unless you explicity close them.
Before
tearing off a webcam you must view it in the browser's
window. To tear off the currently viewing webcam press
the "
Tear Off Webcam" button or select "Tear Off Webcam" in
the "Windows" menu.
