Has anyone think of a fullscreen mode webcam plugin ?

It would be so great...


I need to find a videoconferencing software and the only bad point for MSN is that there is no fullscreen mode

Maybe The Blasmaphere [DJMystic] i dont know how to spell his new name.  He's the one who did it with display pictures.
But why would you want it full screen? what about your other contacts? How would you chat to the person without a microphone?

Actually, I need it to display on a 17" TFT screen. I am a teacher and one of "my" 10-year children is ill (for about 2 months). I sometimes (twice a week) use MSN to videconf with him. His classmate can see him during my course : the TFT flat screen is next to my black board.
So I have a microphone, a webcam and I don't need to chat.

The children really enjoy that but the webcam is displayed so small...

Well if there was 1 made wouldn't the resoultion be really bad because the people i no with wab cams when you make it as big as it can go now it looks abit rubbish.

Isn't Microsoft Netmeeting an alternative?
I have not been using it for ages, but I think you can have fullscreen in it.
Check it at www.microsoft.com/netmeeting

EDIT: Just tried it and I can have pretty large windows, no need for fullscren since the largest display almost covered my whole screen (1600*1200). If you have WinXP and can't find it, just press Window-F1 and search for Netmeeting and it will start it for you, or alternatively, install it for you. It asks for creation of Shortcut on your Desktop and/or a Quickstart Icon.
Give it a try, it works real nice and you can have sound too.

A fullscreen webcam convo would get sort of distorted and pixilated without a good quality camera

Well, I don't think there's many webcams out there with really good full-screen resolutions. Plus, you'd need major bandwidth to be able to do that.

Well there are very good cameras out there for very low prices. I've got one myself. It is not a Webcam. It is a normal Digital Camera. It is only on 2 Mpixels but is has very good quality. It will ALSO function as a Webcamera, a 2 Mpixel one. Also, the Focus, Zoom and Aperture is controlled by the camera, hardware, much better than any WebCam out there. As a bonus you can also make Video, 320*240,QT format w sound. It is a Minolta Dimage X20. For the cost of one DigiCam and one Webcam I had it all in one.

yahoo messenger has full screen video conference and very good quality, let's hope microsoft take this idea from yahoo messenger, just like the ones we are seeing in msn7 beta

Thank you very much for that !
I gonna try Netmeeting and Yahoo Messenger

I will tell you if it's alright for me...
