But I have hundreds of friends. It's ridiculous for Microsoft to make such an upgrade without at the very least making it compulsory. There's no obvious indication that my version is different: it just doesn't work properly.


The obvious indication that your version is different is the different version number, the fact that you upgraded and the lack of "Send webcam" feature.
That isn't obvious at all. I was setting up a new machine, downloaded the installer as normal, and it just installed something that was different and contained feature regressions, with no indication of having done so.

Don't take quotations out of context.....you aren't forced to use TWO WAY video calling as you can easily disable your webcam as I suggested.  If you're really that paranoid about not wanting people to see you whilst seeing them (which is a little backwards if you have a webcam) then it won't be that much of an issue to do as I suggested, or just turn your camera the other way (if it's a free standing camera).  And no, it isn't a joke...you're the one asking for a way to stop people seeing your webcam using the current system, I'm just giving it to you.  If you don't like the solution, don't use video chats.
Disabling my camera--which disables it for all my contacts--is not as good as selective enablement.

quote:
You can't deny that having audio makes it a better feature, whether you use it or not.
Er, yes, I can. Having to explicitly disable audio is worse than just not having audio.

quote:
To be honest, you can complain as much as you want, it won't change anything.  One sided webcamming has been removed in favour of higher quality video chats, taking advantage of higher quality webcams and broadband than were available many years ago.  The best thing you can do is just get used to the new version and take the advice you've been given, because it's the best you'll get
This is bollocks. The implication here is that Microsoft were somehow forced to remove the feature just to improve video calls. That is a load of crap.
