The "Show webcam" option has been removed from WLM to prepare for better quality video calling in WLM 2011.
Does your webcam show up correctly for you? Are you able to see it in the Audio/Video setup wizard?
RE: Webcam help by PauloAl on 06-22-2010 at 09:45 PM
But my friends can do "Show webcam" ....
Yes i think so..
RE: Webcam help by Nagamasa on 06-23-2010 at 12:12 AM
This is a feature that has been removed in newer downloads of the Windows Live Essentials installer.
If you really want the older version to restore this feature, use a file sharing service, at your own risk, to find the other, older WLM 2009 version.

If your friends can see you then it's less relevant as it means it's all working properly. That can happen sometimes anyway, just try signing out and in, or unplugging and re-plugging in your webcam, I've had that happen to me as well.

I've tried all

RE: Webcam help by matty on 06-23-2010 at 03:10 PM
The screen colours of Windows Live Messenger are weird or your entire desktop colours are weird or the colours of the webcam are weird.
I still don't quite understand.
RE: Webcam help by PauloAl on 06-23-2010 at 03:13 PM
Colour of desktop
RE: Webcam help by matty on 06-23-2010 at 03:15 PM
It sounds like you have either a bad video card or display driver issues. Can you post a screenshot of what it looks like? You can attach the image to this thread.

can you give me some advice?
And the problem I can not get the option to "Show Web Cam?
RE: Webcam help by matty on 06-23-2010 at 03:25 PM
That looks like either a bad video card or display driver issue. Who makes your computer? Have you checked for any driver updates for your video card?
The latest version doesn't support multiple webcam sessions. It only supports video calling. If your friends download the latest version they will no longer have that option either. It was removed in favor of the Video Calling feature.
RE: Webcam help by PauloAl on 06-23-2010 at 03:30 PM
No I have not noticed anything of it. I bought it for a year ...

Why? all of my friends have it

We have no control of Microsoft and what they put into their software. There is nothing we or you can do about it.
Also note that there is no updated driver for your computer. I suggest you talk to Acer as it may be a faulty video card.

They will also have to upgrade too and should do so in order to be using the most secure version of Messenger.
