Is there a way to set up my XL2 as a webcam for my website?

It will work as a webcam in MSN/Windows Live Messenger and AIM and ICQ. There's a registry change you need to make though, otherwise you get the center of the image. I believe it's using 1/4th of the full image size, centered. It has to do with the DV type 1 and type 2 thing. I don't remember offhand where I found the patch a while back, but I found it on Google.

If the cam works in those programs, it should work in a webcam streaming/image uploading application too.
