I just got a HP ENVY 6 and above other usless software I found YouCam.
I know it ads some special effects that I don't need but my concern is:
"Can I remove this software, and will it affect my webcam functionality on Skype or elsewhere?"
Thanks in advance
🙂

Actually, if I recall correctly, the webcam driver is bundled with the Cyberlink YouCam software. You can test that by uninstalling it and testing it with Skype. If uninstalling it affects the other software, then you can reinstall it by using the HP Recovery Manager -->I need Immediate help --> Driver & Application Reinstall.

Yes I remember this back from my DV7 HP days. (the recovery agent stuff)
But I am not willing to test it out. ( I just finished uninstalling all the bloatware from the pc) except that program.
I just need someone who owns HP 6 ENVY A6AMD edition (or similar) to tell me their experience with uninstaling YouCam.
This is the 3rd PC I let my self "test out" stuff on my own.
No more risks 😄

YouCam has different features, like recording video, adding frame to video and most importantly Face Login.
You can setup your face as Windows Login. I configured on my HP ENVY (Windows 8.1 Now 10). I use FingerPrint or Face login to login to my PC. No more Password typing.
