Green Living Solutions How do i view a contacts webcam on Windows Live Messenger?

Question by nathan b: How do i view a contacts webcam on Windows Live Messenger?
I am using Windows Live Messenger (presumably the newest version) and whenever i hover the mouse over their webcam symbol of my friends, it comes up with “Start or stop video call.” I can’t find an option for “view webcam” Anywhere. I know for a fact it used to be “View webcam”. How do i make it go back or start the webcam?

How to set up your webcam in Windows Live Messenger:

- In Windows Live Messenger click on the menu, select Tools and then select Audio and Video setup.

- Click Next.

- Select your speakers or if you’re using a headset check the box. You can play a sound to hear how it is and you can adjust the volume, then click Next.

- Select your microphone and observe the green bar that shows the volume level. If needed you can adjust the microphone volume then click Next.

- See yourself in the webcam and then click Finish.

- Now, click on Tools and then on webcam settings.

- Here you can adjust settings while you view yourself. Adjust brightness, contrast, white balance, and saturation.

- You can also click on the Advanced tab and change any of those settings that you want.

- Click Apply, then Close and you’re done!
