hi i am so confused about the webcam how do i hange by webcam setting (the colour of the webcaam black and white and sutff) how do i get the webcam settings up?
I would personally go through:
Tools -> Audio and Vdeo setup -> Next -> Webcam settings
I think you can also access it via when in a MSN conversation with webcam, by clicking on the Down arrow near the webcam view and selecting Webcam settings there..
Kool… I guess this is way more exciting to someone who actually uses messenger on a regular basis, but I’m comparing this to the latest build of Trillian Astra, and… well… it doesn’t quite match up.
I too am a user of Astra, Astra is my client of choice, Unfortunately Trillian just doesnt support MSN Webcams, which I’m a high user of, Which is why i’ve allways run MSN Messenger along side it.
For overall features, Trillian wins the battle, Its just those small features which more people use these days which Trillian doesnt support.
Most of the new features here will not appeal to most users, infact, a lot of users will dislike them, But from a neutral point of view, MSN is making a push forward, its nice to see them actually bringing in new features.
Also, I could be wrong, But i’m pretty sure the Webcam windows are larger in this build.. Not sure if the resolution has increased, but the actual boxes size appears larger.
i just downloaded the beta version also and the trouble i am having is with my custom emoticons. the person i am talking to can see them when i send, but i cannot see them myself. Is anyone else having this problem?
When I have a conversation window open, I can’t drag another contact into it, I have to use Tools…and Invite the other contact – any idea if its a bug or a feature? Older versions let you drag the contacts into a conversation window – we use it at work for teams that split up and it’s very helpful and quick
@coldbeer: I’ve had problems with that too, I generally find just getting the other person to request it will work. Video “calls” dont seem to work that greatly either. Also try signing out/in.. sometimes that seems to fix it.
Is there any way at ALL to increase the character limit in messages? It’s really backward that you can extend the text entry box, and yet you’re limited to a measly amount of text. I can’t even copy in a paragraph because it reaches its limit..
when I set my status on “busy”, all sounds are disabled so I can’t hear it, if there’s a contact connected or if I receive a new message e.t.c. Is there any way I can adjust this? Or is it out of my control?
1) How can i get avatars on the right side, not on the left like now ?
2)How can i remove mail signature when I minimize chat window ( i want to see only user`s name )
3)Why there is NO SOUND when i get message in multi chat ?
4)Idle and away status are the same color…OMFG so much errors,bugs…like it has been build by bunch of retards omg ………………………………….
1. You cant.
2. You cant.
3. I dunno.
4. Its actually pretty well thought out. You’re either Here(Available), Busy(Here and doing something) or Away. and yes, you’re a retard too in that case.

I was wondering where are the webcam picture loacted ? which file ?
Not a clue?
hello,
Are my contacts able to hear my signature sound if they have a lower version of messenger eg.8.5?
Thanks in advance.
No.
The New features such as Signature sounds and Mood-tiled-display pics are only available to others who use MSN 2009 too.

Not a clue, Its still very much a beta release, i somewhat doubt they’d take that feature out of it..
i want to uninstall messenger beta but i cant find the messenger in control panel,,anyone can help?
Its listed as “Windows Live Beta (All programs)” in add/remove programs.
I can recieve web cams, but cannot send mine. it connects but as soon as it does, it loose’s connection. is this a beta thing or what?

Try the Mess.BE Light patch.. I think that might increase it..
