How do I determine the image URL of a specific Webcam?

Open the Webcam of your choice on your Mac/PC and right click on the image of the webcam. Usually you should see the address of the image e.f. http://easy10.it-wms.com/big_current1.jpg

Open the "Android Wear" app on your Android phone and go to the Settings of "Watch With a View" and enter the URL.

To save your webcam in the "Favorites" list, choose "Add current Webcam to Favorites" in the Settings menu of the "Watch With a View" Settings within the "Android Wear" app on your phone.
