    [SOLVED] Kopete - Windows Live video call/webcam [not supported]

    Hello all and thank in advantage for help.
    I like too much Kopete as messenger, is nice and fast more than aMsn, there is only one problem, I can't see the button to enable my webcam in conversation...

    Under aMsn it's easy, but also too slow...even if is there is the possibility to record the session...

    anyone had the same problem?

    My lspci and lsusb

    Kopete will only allow video on MSN and Yahoo! chats. Even then, many report that it doesn't work on MSN. Don't know about Yahoo, but since Microsoft controls them both I'll bet that Linux Kopete will continue to NOT work on them.

    This morning it was reported that aMSN no longer works on MSN.

      It can get support. KMess is currently implementing it and the basics are there. So it is possible for Kopete too, they only need to implement it.

          @palemmo: 'Cause aMSN doesn't support webcam anymore. That's why it sometimes works and sometimes not. Video quality was always low, that was the default @aMSN.
