(window live message) Greetings z, The main reason why it would be gone is if Messenger can't reach its configuration service when you sign in, as then the Video Call feature will be disabled. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "z" <z@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OMyYI6faIHA.300@xxxxxx Quote: > Why sometimes the video call is disabled?

| | Re: Why sometimes the video call is disabled? How to activate it? (window live message) Thanks for reply. I am using Microsoft Livecam, it is functioning no problem. I don't understand why Window Live Messenger can't reach its configuration service. It works previously, however, no matter what I tried, it is just disabled (the icon is there, but disabled). Could you please tell me how to fix this problem? Thanks!

| | Re: Why sometimes the video call is disabled? How to activate it? (window live message) Rerun the Audio and Video Wizard before making a Video Call. Note: Sometimes it is clearer for the Voice and hearing the other person, if you call the person using Windows Live Messenger's feature of Call a Computer, then Add Video to the conversation by clicking on the Camera icon under their picture. You won't be able to enlarge the video to Full screen, though in this type of call, but the voices will be clearer. -- thecreator "z" <z@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ukDwaKmaIHA.1164@xxxxxx Quote: > Thanks for reply.

| | Re: Why sometimes the video call is disabled? How to activate it? (window live message) Thanks for reply. I run the wizard, but the video call still not available. By the way, I actually found this may not related to my settings because wit some contact the video is accessible, some are not. May be this is depend on the other party's setting or status (online or not online, etc.). If this is true, how can I notify the other party to set their video call active? because I know some of them are not expert of video call like me, they may be not aware that they have disabled the video call.

| | Re: Why sometimes the video call is disabled? How to activate it? (window live message) Make a Voice Only Call first. That is not dependent on their Camera. And you don't want them using their Camera at all, because if they are using their camera for something else, it won't be available for Live Messenger. Also the Camera must be attached to the computer, if it isn't, it isn't going to be available. Some people who have Cameras, purchased the Camera for something else and some people don't like use the Camera at all, even if they have a Camera. -- thecreator "z" <z@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uPh5xh4aIHA.300@xxxxxx Quote: > Thanks for reply.
