ohh man you are paranoid? what are you doing online to worry about being watched?
I have read in a few responses that Yahoo keeps a record of games played/voice chats/ cams etc ... and that they have ways to access past chat/game sesssions ............. NOW I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THIS .... the amount of people from this GLOBE on yahoo .... why would they bother even if they could access past sessions . The only way Yahoo can see past sessions is if they have a SCREEN SHOT which is usually taken by sumone and sent to them .. re abuse etc. All Yahoo and other web pages get is your IP.
The only way Yahoo can monitor is to place an Admin ( that is some moron from Yahoo, with a low IQ) in the chat room/games lounge. They do this occassionally and they get it all messed up as they have no idea what is going on. Behave yourself on here and treat others as you would like to be treated, and you will be OK

Big Brother is watching.
Not only is it possible for Yahoo to see any information being transmitted over its network (or servers), including chats, webcam activity etc.
But there are also other organistations either specifically setup to monitor web-traffic or sub-departments.
Since 9/11 you'll find things on the net have become alot tougher with software setup to actively monitor for correspondence relating to terrorist activity - even virtual correspondence (email / web chat).
But thats getting a little off topic and was only an example...
Long story short - yes there is a chance someone could watch your webcam whilst its active on someone elses server. But the chances they would be interested in what you get up to on your webcam with people is very slim so i'd personally say its a small chance you'd be monitored.

Their servers automatically log your details regardless of what type of chatroom you're in. Though, I'm assuming that they would rather want your I.P. Address rather than the chat details since it takes up less room on the servers...

no no longer till you have the utility to try this! yet i won't provide help to already know the call of this device. the only undemanding thank you to record is to tutor on your webcam "offline" and record the video of your chat friends with the help of pointing the direction of your cam on your laptop exhibit esp the webcam exhibit of your chum. verify s/he won't word too!
