Kirbster Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Hi All,I was wondering if it is possible to connect and use a digital video camera as a webcam to use with MSN Messenger, I have both USB Streaming and a DV connection on the video camera. I can connect it using the DV cable and in my computer it appears next to my webcam, when I initialise it I can see the picture on the screen, however, I never appear to have an option for that camera within messenger. Is it possible to do what I'm asking of it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirbster Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 OK, I have now set it up within Audio/Video tuning wizard in messenger using a DV connection and it all looks fine, however when I try to send a request to view my webcam it says the followingYour conversation cannot begin because your camera is currently in use or not plugged in. Make sure your camera is available and try again. Technical problems prevent you from having a webcam conversation at this time. Please try again later.Any ideas???
