Views - Webcam

To add a semi-static webcam to your views, you need to find out the URL of the most recent webcam pic. When you have the URL, you can add it to your views as described below.

Important: Not all webcams can be added to EarthClock. Here's a list of prerequisites:

• Webcam must accessible with a web-browser. Since EarthClock is essentially a very simplified web-browser, it only supports browser-based cam-images. If you can't get it to display in your browser, don't even try it in EarthClock.
• No streaming cams. Streaming webcams require special players which EarthClock does not have. The image must be semi-static, meaning that while the image may change periodically, the address (URL) of the image must always remain the same.
• Only .gif, .jpg, and .png images. Other filetypes are not supported.

Example

Let's say you want to have a view of the current snow conditions in Val Thorens. You perform a google search and find this webcam.

	Right-click the image, and choose Properties.
	Select the Address/URL field, and copy the address.
	To add this webcam to your views, go to the Options menu.
	Click Views, then click Add...
	Paste the address in the URL field of a new view. Give it a name, press OK, and you're done!
