I dont have a pc with windows 8, but based on my knowledge, yawcam should work on it as long as java is installed.

There must be another yawcam process running, keeping the port busy, or you are selecting a port that is already in use by another application. Which port are you trying to use?

i'm trying to use stream in port 8081, the thing is it works but after i shutdown my pc and restart back and open yawcam it disables stream and says "Port "8081" is already in use. Please select another port". than i change the port to something like 8082 and it works it is enabled, but if i shutdown again and turn my laptop on and click yawcam it says the Port 8082 is already in use. I constantly have to change the port each time i turn on my laptop and click yawcam, also only happens when i click yamcam, any idea why is this happening? Oh yeah i'm running yawcam as a service. cheers

Can you check if the yawcam service is running? As the service would use the port and make that message come up.

You can try accessing it in your browser by going to http://127.0.0.1:8081/.

You can also check if yawcam_service.exe is running in task manager (make sure "Show processes from all users" is selected.)
