Question

How can I delete a photo booth video off the internet?

Community Answer

It depends on where the video is hosted. If you own the video on youtube, follow the directions to delete a youtube video. If someone else owns it, contact the owner. If it infringes any of the rules on the video hosting site, then report the video and it may be deleted.

Question

How do I pause the video?

Community Answer

You might be able to use QuickTime instead of Photo Booth. If you have skill with or time to learn Automator or AppleScript, you may be able to use their QuickTime control automation capability to create simple timed recordings of your Mac's inbuilt camera. Alternatively, you can search the web or Mac App Store for some commercial software that might be able to do what you want.
