Please make sure that your web cam is not been in use by any other messenger or its in use.

If the web cam is open or being used by any other messenger then it will not work on other platform.

Since few days there is some issue with yahoo messenger's audio and video.

may be your User Account Controls try turning off and reinstalling the software. and turn off anti virus then reinstall if on xp.

try to go to yahoo messenger and then preferences and look for the camera source, make sure that the camera source is your webcam if its not choose it, try it and then tell me if it wont work.

You cannot access camera source until the webcam is running in Messenger - try setting it up from scratch
1) The webcam is working outside of Messenger
2) Reboot webcam by unplugging the USB connection and inserting it again - its important if its been used elsewhere and prior to chat.

Hey guys,

Every review/spec I have read on this cam so far indicates that there is no built in microphone on the Quickcam Express. Here is one of those sites...

If you still have your box that the camera came in, it should tell you for certain if there is a microphone in the product description on the back or side of the box.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you, and good luck.

are you using yahoo messenger or msn messenger?

Hey guys I'm having the same problem i got the logitech quickcam express and when I try to connect to yahoo and even aim it comes up connecting...then attempting to reconnect, then an error message comes up. The cam works fine, it just won't connect to the messengers. Did you guys figure it out? Thx B
