Re: Messenger 6.2/7.0 incompatibility(?)



Greetings,

The "Video Conference" functionality has changed in 7 and is only compatible with 7 clients.
If the 6.2 user initiates, it should work. Also, if you initiate the "Webcam" function and
then Audio, those functions are still completely compatible.
