How to Show iTunes on a Webcam
Depending on the webcam software installed on your computer, you may not have a tool that allows you to capture your desktop screen activities. If you want to record your iTunes activity while using a webcam, use third-party screen capturing software. Several companies offer free software that allows you to record specific regions on your desktop screen, as well as a specified area. You will need to download and install the program of your choice.
