Webcam and Live Messenger (by 8 users)

posted by Sprintakid on Oct 28, 2006

I have installed my webcam and it seems to be working fine when I open the labtec webcam program from the start menu. However when I try to use it in conjunction with MSN Live Messenger I get a black fuzzy screen rather than my image. Is there a solution?

Found the solution. I went into the main window for windows messenger . Tools/audio and video setup, then I followed the instructions onscreen. The image input device wasn't set to my camera. Thanks for the help.

does the cam work ok if you try to record a short video clip in Windows Movie maker 2(programme that comes with Win XP).

This way if it records and plays back ok you will know if it's the cam or it isn't set up correctly in MSN Live.

Also check the settings on the cam, it may be a light problem.

Hope this narrows it down for you.

I can use the webcam on Skype but when I close Skype and open Instant Messenger I get a message that the webcam is unplugged or being used by another application.
