I know that you can upload videos from a camcorder to Youtube, but all I have is a webcam. Is there a way I can record a video using just a webcam?

First, I'd recommend you check the software that came with your webcam. Youtube accepts all most any video format so if you have the software to record a movie, you most likely can get it on Youtube.

If you are looking for a quick and easy method of getting a webcam video on to Youtube, try using quick capture.

QuickCapture is a way to record video directly into YouTube. You need to
have a webcam or camcorder attached to your computer and a confirmed email
address to use this feature.

The flash interface accesses your webcam and microphone to create the video. The only editing option you have is to rerecord the video, so don't expect any titles, special effects, or transitions.
