Re: Webcam picture in Live Messenger

Hi Jonathan

I can't be much more specific, or try Show My Webcam until my contacts come
back online.
However during my last video call, I could both see and hear my contact but
my contact could only hear me - I don't know what he was seeing instead of my
video.
My webcam works perfectly well locally, I can record video and audio.

Hi Bill,

Can you be more specific as to what's happening? For instance, is it your video that isn't
being shown, your contact's or both? Are you seeing blackness or is just the advertisement
there? Do you see "Connected" at the bottom?

Finally, if you press Alt-A to bring up the Actions menu, choose Video, then Show my webcam
or View a contact's webcam (depending on what you're doing), does that work (this function is
separate from video call).

Hi Jonathan
I already replied that the correct video input is selected. Any further
advice?

Greetings,

Well the first thing you'll want to check is that you've gone through the Audio and video
setup wizard to select the correct video input. You can get to this by pressing Alt on
the
keyboard, choosing Tools and then Audio and video setup.

Although the sound from my Logitech Messenger webcam is getting through fine
in a video call with Windows Live Messenger, the webcam picture is not. Am I
missing something simple?
