I installed the LifeCam program today along with the suggested Microsoft Live Messaging. However, I am using Skype as the contact software.
I can link to contacts but cannot send or receive video. The audio works fine.

See
section A. Skype in the info below to setup the Audio &
Video.
Also
send this to your family and friends so they have their computer setup
properly.
Web
Camera's have to be setup on the program they are to be used with. Just installing
the camera on your computer does not set it up to broadcast on messengers or

Each

function properly.
