Read this.  Bottom line: lower your resolution.

I don't know where exactly you go to set the resolution when using the camera with Messenger, but would imagine you can find it somewhere in the Audio/Video settings or someone else can tell you. 

Edit: upon a second look, the article seems to be saying zoom is not supported in "video capture mode."  I have no idea what other modes there are, so I don't know what that means.  If it is video vs. taking a still photo, then that would seem to say zoom won't be supported using the camera for Messenger video chats.  If it means something else, then lowering the resolution should still fix it.

Thanks for reply. Can I explain - I go to :

Audio & Video Set up ---- Webcam Settings -----Video Proc Amp and this tab is OK  - That tab shows Brightness Contrast Hue Saturation etc etc and  are all fine - I can adjust them. 

But click on next tab "Camera Control" and the only command in bold letters is Exposure.  All the other commands are greyed out - Zoom Focus Aperture etc etc.  Even Low Light Compensation tick box is greyed out. I cannot understand how I was able to simply click on Zoom on my previous computer and zoom in with the camera in video mode.
