Hi everyone
I am Tate.
I want to connect to the web-camera on Windows OS. I found this example (you can see the file below), but it only works on Mac.Could you please help me to find out, what is the problem. Waiting for your answer, thanks.

Hi Tate,
1. wecome to the forum!
2. In the last couple of years I also could only make videograbbing work on the Mac!
No chance on Windows, neither with QuickTime nor VfW (Video for Windows).
And I am a quite experienced developer, sorry for the bad news

Hi Tate,
the "videograbber" external that comes with Livecode will only work on desktop machines!
Check this website for (not free) iOS externals

Here the direct link to the AV external:

Not sure if there are any externals for Android yet.
