Why does the Webcam feature on Msn messenger not work?

  • In Windows XP I have downloaded the latest version of Msn messenger. I have a built in webcam and mic on my laptop. I want to do webcam with a friend in spain, however when we start ...show more

  • Answer:

    Both of you should do a VIDEO & AUDIO test....make sure that you're checking the right boxes for settings remember...if you "show" your webcam, you cant make a "video call" at the same time

It could be that her web camera is not working. If she can see you and you can see yourself then your camera is fine. Also, if you do not appear online on msn messenger, it does not even allow you to show your web camera. Try the camera with another friend and see if it works with them to see whether the problem is on your side or your friends. Try Yahoo messenger if all else fails. It's free to download also. You could check the setting on your web camera, check the settings on msn and check that your web camera is configured to work with XP.

Are you sure she's enabled her webcam on msn? If not, she can just go to Options and enable it on there.

maybe your connection is a little iffy, because it's spain after all. or maybe your friend's webcam just doesn't work.

It's not the program... it's either your or his computer, smarts.
