| | Video Calling in Messenger 8.5 Hello, I have an issue with sending and receiving video calls in WLM. I know my camera is working as I can see the picture, but when a contact accepts a video call or even just tries to view my webcam it takes a minute or so before it eventually says "XXX has stopped viewing webcam with you". The contact has the same problem their end too (so I can't see their webcam either). Both parties have checked firewall settings and they are A-OK. We can have a voicecall without video with no problems but as soon as you try and introduce video the above happens. I'm running Vista on a Toshiba laptop which has an inbult web cam and mic. Appreciate your help/advice. |

| | RE: Video Calling in Messenger 8.5 This issue has been resolved by uninstalling WLM 8.5 and installing WLM 8.1. Even though the person who I video call has WLM 8.5 (and still has it installed), for some reason changing the version on my PC did the trick... strange!
