Bugs with WLM 9 (Beta)

LifeCam functions no longer supported (ie. web cam effects, web cam zooming,
etc) that you used to get by clicking on the three stars by the webcam icon...

"Winks" show up UNDER neath the webcam window (ie. if you're chatting on web
cam and revieve a wink, it's hidden by the camera window).

LifeCam button doesn't take you to the Windows Live Call/Video Call window
any more.

(I do have the new WIndows Live Device Manager Beta installed too)....

Sometimes the little yellow information notifications in the chat window
(eg. "You and your contact both have webcams") goes crazy if you have the
window too small (it just wildly scrolls up and down).

Sometimes, if a contact is online and I'm chatting to them, it says "The
contact appears to be offline" even tho they're showing up as available.

Any chance of getting Xbox/Zune updates on the "What's New" section too?

Re: Bugs with WLM 9 (Beta)

Greetings Ali,

Re: LifeCam stuff, I'm sure it'll get updated since it's still a supported product from
Microsoft. More than likely will require an update to the LifeCam software though.
