Video Clip - same as Voice clip, but with Video.
That feature would be the best ever :D

Er, yeah I'd have to agree with you on this, could be quite useful. I wouldn't be surprised if it was officially implemented at one stage.

Would kill MEssenger Plus! servers at this point. Would even be hard for Microsoft to pull it of i think. But would sure be nice.

Yeah I don't think it's much of a go-er on the Plus! side of things but I think it could be easy for Microsoft to do. I assume it would follow pretty much exactly the same principles as the voice clips regarding codingand implementation (but what would I know!)?

I think that would overload the servers. Voice Clips are not so big, but video's are lots bigger. And last but not least, it takes a lot of time untill the video is uploaded to the server and then your contact has to download it... :S
But the idea isn't bad at all... :)

the difference is that voice clips are not first sent to the servers (unless you're using a messenger server as a proxy between you and your contact) but directly to your contact. which means that you get a speed increase.

I'm sure if the videos are highly compressed before being sent, the size difference wouldn't be too big... besides, if it's only a 10 second clip, how big can it already be?
