I want to elaborate a little bit more on some comments I’m seeing here about issues with the webcam feature. Here’s a little background.
The next version of Windows Live Messenger, releasing globally in the coming months, features two-way calling with high quality audio and high-definition video. This enhancement required significant changes in the audio and video stack used across all of our Windows Live services. This week’s Wave 3 update (called “QFE3”) upgrades the current release of Messenger with the new stack. As part of this upgrade, we are retiring one-way webcam functionality.
We never take the decision lightly to remove a feature, but we think that the improvements in performance and call quality for Wave 3 customers and the addition of high-definition video for Wave 4 customers made this the right decision.
Reject it if you want, but that is the benefit and the explanation.
No it isn't. Nowhere does it explain the necessity of removing one-way webcam to achieve better quality in the separate video call feature.
