Web Cam Issue by kennethhsu on 11-23-2009 at 09:03 PM

Hhi everyone, I don't know if this is caused by Messenger Plus, but anyways you can help me...


I got a desktop with a built in web cam, everything was working fine.
I went to the MSN took and did the audio and video setting, it worked too.
But when I open a conversation with my friend, it has a little video web cam icon. I clicked on it, it gave me two options, (Show my Web Cam & Start a Video Call), but only the Start a Video Call option is available. That means something goes wrong.
I tried the Start a Video Call, and my web cam loads forever, however, my friends can't see my Web Cam.

I read about an article says it will be fixed by restarting the messanger.
But it doesn't.
Is there a way to fix this problem?

Look in tools > options and uncheck 'allow others to see i have webcam'.

That might help. I think thats the same problem i had :)

Good Luck.

Do you have any skins installed?
