    Can fully functional WLM interface be embedded in webpage?

    Hi all,

    I am wondering if the WLM interface could be embedded into a webpage so a
    user would be able to chat, talk and do video conferences from within a web
    page. I used to do so a lot during the old MS Netmeeting days but I haven't
    seen a similar solution for Live Messenger.



    Thanx in advance.

    Stefan

    Have you tried Windows Live Web Messenger?

    Yes, I did but I didn't find any info on how to embed Web Messenger, either.

    Greetings Stefan,

    I'm afraid the Messenger COM interface was restricted from being directly accessible in web
    pages as a security restriction, so you can't do the old Netmeeting ActiveX trick.

    This thread isn't clear as to exactly what you've seen, so I'll list everything...
    There is the IM Control which allows text-chat from a web page:
    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb936682.aspx

    There is a library you can use to access Messenger functions through Javascript or
    Silverlight:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc298458.aspx

    And a way to do presence on its own if necessary:
    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb936691.aspx

    Of course none of these are going to do voice/video, which I have a feeling you're really
    after. The only real way that's going to be accomplished is using the real client itself.
    Although Messenger provides some protocol handlers to call voice/video from hyperlinks,
    that's about all you can do from a web page at this point.

    The two handlers for these functions are:
    msnim:video?contact=someone@xxxxxx
    msnim:voice?contact=someone@xxxxxx

    There's also "chat" and "add".
