| | Can't see myself in video call but contacts see me fine Latest build of WLM, Vista 32-bit Home Premium, internal HP webcam (but previously tested with MS LiveCam and a Logitech as well) In a previous beta build I had the oddest webcam problem where my cam and my contact's cam would actually flip back and forth on the screen at a rate that would literally be intolerable and enough to make you dizzy. Had not re-tested up until today. Now, I am able to get to my audio and video setup just fine. The wizard works beautifully. However, when I start or receive a video call, while I can see my contact - I cannot see my own cam. There is a grey box with a webcam image and a red X in it. Funny thing is - my contact can see me perfectly. As I said latest WLM build, all Windows updates applied. All my drivers are up to date. Java, Flash and Shockwave are all latest releases. uPnP and SSDP are enabled. Firmware is up to date on router. No software firewall, no AV or spyware programs running real-time. I'm at a loss as to what might be the problem on my system. I never saw anyone experiencing the flipping back and forth like I had previously, and while lots of people either can't run audio/video setup or cam crashes - I don't see anyone with the problem that the cam broadcasts but they just can't see themselves while they chat. Are there any known conflicts with the Google Talk plugin for voice/video that was recently released? I noticed when I was looking at my cam selections in the wizard that in addition to my internal cam I was showing Google Connections - and the only reason I can think for those to show up would be GTalk. I'd like to think I know my way around WLM pretty well, but I'm at a loss here. Skype broadcasts video just fine with the cam. I didn't bother trying Yahoo with all their many issues lately. Any expert help appreciated. |

| | RE: Can't see myself in video call but contacts see me fine Not that I can help you but I have run into the same problem as yourself. I understand that there is a possible fix from "McAfee" but IO have never used that product on my computer , just AVG. This is an old post but I was wondering if you have found a fix for the problem you have described above? Since there has been no help from anyone in this forum on your topic, I would assume you have resolved it. Could you post the "fix" as it would be greatly appreciated Thanks |
