"Forced Toolbar"
Version: ManyCam 3.1.43
Pros
Don't know, didn't get to use it.
Cons
Opted out of the Ask Toolbar during installation. It still forced it on me.
Freezes whenever I open it. I have more than enough power in my PC to handle it, so I know it's not a lack of RAM or anything.Summary
Meh.

"Good Enough 4 Me"
Version: ManyCam 3.1.43
Pros
One of the pros I like is that this is NOT attached to any given website. Thus I can freely use it as a security feature to where I live.
Cons
It takes a little while to get use to.
I am trying to figure out how to incorporate this into my webpage. -
"I love it!"
Version: ManyCam 3.1.43
Pros
Ability to add a clock or other images and edits to the webcam image you are streaming.
Cons
None that I'm aware of.
Summary
Been using Manycam for several years now for streaming via Skype and my web TV channel and it works great!

"Each version get more bloated"
Version: ManyCam 3.1.43
Pros
It's free and it provides the basic virtual webcam functions I need.
Cons
Each iteration gets larger and larger and larger and more intrusive.

"Abysmal Cam"
Version: ManyCam 3.1.43
Pros
I really can't think of many - it WAS in English... it did DL and install!
Cons
I'm not exactly a tyro when it comes to PCs or webcams, and this is software you can safely skip - you will miss nothing. The program as it downloads is empty of effects, unclear as to procedures, not intuitive, and like the growing "FREE" MMOs you still got to pay to play.I downloaded some free effects, but they were not available when I ran the program and I did not see install instructions for them. Mostly the program is designed to get you to BUY the PRO version, making "free" a freely interpreted concept.
Summary
Difficult to comprehend; equally difficult to use successfully. Bottom line: DON'T bother.
