    Cool Use a Webcam with MSN Messenger

    I don't use MSN Messenger, but thought someone else that does maybe interested in this. For the MSN Messenger users can chat with each other using a webcam. I don't believe MSN Messenger has that option built in...

    Thanks for that info Fuelman . . . But now I am really confused. On my Win98 computer, when using MSN Messenger, my kids use the Netmeeting function to use a webcam/mike while chatting. Recently we have come across a problem with trying to use netmeet with someone who is using a WinXP computer. Sound is OK but our PC cannot see Video from the XP computer. Do I understand this correctly-the Logitech program will let all users see each other? I have searched and it appears that to connect Netmeeting with an XP user you have to sort of install it as it is on an XP machine just doesn't appear under the functions when you use MSN Messenger. I guess I am questioning whether or not this Logitech program can take it's place?

    Thanks for anyone who cares to enlighten me!!!

    Right, XP and '98 really can't talk to each other well. I'm not too sure of it all, but the site did say to view each other, both would need the program.

    Make sure that the XP firewall is not blocking the video. Also, if you are using a Cable/DSL router you may also have trouble with the video.
