First check the audio setting in messenger,

  • Open Messenger
  • click Tools
  • Audio and Video Settings (if you do not see TOOLS press the ALT key)

If it does not work:
check to see that the system is set up to use the microphone that is built into the webcam (if there is one built in).

This is set in the control panel under sound, you should be able to set the appropriate microphone input and levels there. The system may be set to use the microphone input of your soundcard/motherboard.

There may be further settings in the camera software.

Webcam problem on windows live messenger 2009

there could be the problem with registry keys conflicting with each other,
Tools > Audio and video setup...

Follow the instructions on the setup screen and once its finished, you will find that the webcam should be able to show up.
If it doesn't show the webcam on the other person, tell him to switch his status to busy for 5 seconds and then back, hopefully that should come up on the other persons screen.

If this hasn't work in most cases it should work - You will have to downgrade to Windows Live Messenger 8.5 and hopefully it should work.

If this hasn't work, go to the HP website and search up webcam drivers for your device and then install it on your computer - Hopefully your webcam would work.
if it does not work then you have to download reginout registry cleaner to fix this problem
