Webcam on msn?

[eddiekins]

Okay basically I can't just have one person on webcam on the new MSN for some reason? I can only do video calls.
Does anyone know of any fixes/hacks?

[hah]

nope i posted this and warned people lol ;l

they removed because of "feedback", I doubt anyone wanted it to be removed, it makes ur comp lag to hell.

there is no way of getting it bk unless they add it bk in or u downgrade... :)

Do you think Messenger Plus might add something then to allow this?

[Moh]

I think they will add it back, there are A LOT of complaints about the removal haha

Thanks everyone.

Tried that, didn't work :(

Would any of you happen to know which version of WLM I should downgrade to?

I've tried 8.1 and 8.5 but they just display a message saying "You need to upgrade to a newer version of Windows Live Messenger."

Thanks :)

Will they actually remove it? Windows Live Messenger often has lots of problems that often don't get fixed.

Its like Facebook - look at facebook chat - although its improved a bit. The problem is a lot of software developers when it comes new versions seem to change the layout and hope people think stuff has really changed when its just really a new coat of paint and when they do put new features on they seem to hope it will hide the old ones that don't work.

I wish they would start with some basic features, and then get them as good as they can before considering putting anything else on.

^What he said, or Build 14.0.8117.416 which is what my one says, although there probably is no difference :P
