Hi there,
The Kodak Easyshare C763 camera doesn't like to be used as a webcam. :-( You would think they would get with the times on this, but it is what it is. I had to dig through their FAQ a bit, but filed away under a section called: "C763 Zoom Digital Camera Knowledge Center" i found the following:
"Question : Can I use my KODAK EASYSHARE Digital Camera as a Webcam?
Answer : Most KODAK EASYSHARE Digital Cameras take videos, but they cannot be used as Webcams. If your camera has the video feature, you can record a video with the camera, transfer the video to your computer, and then e-mail the video file from KODAK EASYSHARE Software.
NOTE: The e-mail recipient must have a program like the Apple QuickTime player installed on his computer to view the .mov files."
You can find this here:

Which will bring you to the main "C763 Zoom Digital Camera Knowledge Center" page. There is a search box there... enter "webcam" (no quotes) and it will have a link to the FAQ I reference here. They make it hard to link directly to their FAQ for some reason. Almost like the Kodak Easyshare C763 camera was some kind of secret. ;-)
If you have other questions, or want to triple-check the webcam-ability of your camera.
Look on the left hand menu (side bar) for a button that says "chat with Kodak" over some text like:
"Need help right away?
Chat with a Kodak specialist.
(Daily, 9:00AM to 6:00PM Eastern Time)"
... Which will let you, sadly, drive the last stake through the heart of the idea of using the Kodak Easyshare C763 camera as a webcam.
On the high side, decent webcams aren't terribly expensive anymore. I know that is a small comfort, and I agree that a camera as modern as the Kodak Easyshare C763 should be web cam ready, but I wanted to encourage you to web-cam in spite of their silliness.
