You can use the BM Web Presenter to use it as a web camera, but a better choice would be the BM Micro Studio camera, as it is designed for live "broadcast" applications like a WbCast, still going to need the Web Presenter, but the Micro Studio give you better saturated colors, has a SDI out annd HDMI monitor out. Pair the Micro with a BM Video Assist, or a SmallHD monitor, and you are ready to go. The Micro Studio is also 4K or full HD output.

The Pocket and Micro Cinema cameras are more for recording high res images, for post production editing, coloring, etc. they do not have a fully saturated color output, and look somewhat "flat" until the image is properly graded in post production. So not a good choice for live web casting.
