I regularly access an external webcam (http://www.lymeregis.org/webcams/cobb-webcam/) to check on my boat in the harbour. I don't seem to be able to get a full screen image. Does anyone know if this is possible. I am using a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8.
Thanks and best wishes
Chris

It depends entirely on how the video is streamed and the tools/techniques used to do so. If there's no full screen option (I can't get the video to load here), you're out of luck.

Thanks for the prompt reply - looks like I need a magnifying glass!

You must realize (depending on the quality of the webcam)...going full screen will only result in a very blurry and pixelated image. So you can either have a small sharp image...or a large blurry-pixilated image.

But like I mentioned...it depends on the quality of the webcam.
