Use the pliers to bend each outer "leg" of the 'M' at a point 2 cm from the top, bending them forward so they stick straight out at a degree angle, as shown in the fifth picture. Bend the final cm of the hanger iron back down again at a degree angle, as shown in the sixth picture. Finally, grasp the 'M'-shape in the middle with the pliers and bend it upwards, as shown in the last picture.
It doesn't have to be a degree angle, but at least 30 degrees should be enough. After this bend, make sure that the "m" shape is flat again, except for where the middle of the 'M' and the two arms are sticking up at 90 degrees. The final shape of the webcam mount will have some sharp edges and corners, and we won't want it to mar the screen. The webcam mount needs to be wrapped in high-quality supple ray hide, as I do with my custom katana hilts.
However, today I was fresh out of ray hide wrapping, so I used electrical tape instead hehehe. The webcam mount will hang from the top of your monitor by the two perpendicular arms and will rest on the middle of the 'M' shape, so those have to be padded. However, I decided to go all-out and just wrap the entire thing in black tape for that , lethal Ninja look.
Nobody is going to play around with this thing now. Hang the mount from the top of your screen with the main body of it hanging down the back of it. The webcam will clip to one of the "ears" of the webcam mount, and its weight will be on the back of the mount not the front so it won't topple forward. The mount will hang down far enough in back so that the whole thing isn't top-heavy. I actually need to wrap the ear with several layers of tape to give the webcam something a little thicker and less slippery than bare metal to clip onto.
I actually have a compact clip-on microphone, and I clip it to the other "ear" of this webcam mount. You may not have a mike like this, but having a second mount point is a good thing for an extra little light or something for better picture results. Install the downloaded drivers on your computer.
