Webcam doesn't work

[LordEdgard]

Good evening and thank you for making MSN real again!

Unfortunately, in my Windows 10 1809 environment Webcam streaming doesn’t seem to work. The hardware is recognised perfectly so far. I’m actually running the latest stable build of Escargot, but that doesn’t work at all. Is there any additional steps I must accomplish to make it work?

Best regards and thank you!

I suggest you to look at this post first:

MSN Messenger help for a film!

XPCat was mucking around one day and he got video chat working in 7.5 (i had to do it on an alt account, my main didn’t work for some reason). I recall opening a port on my router to get it to work OK. Ports are: 5004 (UDP) for videochat, and 6981 (TCP) for voicechat Hope this helps. (If it doesn’t work, try making an alt account and logging on from there)

I tried doing this before, and video chat worked with a couple contacts.

Also I suggest you to port forward TCP 5004 as well just to be safe.

Hello,

many thanks for the advice. I’m actually editing firewall rules to sort the ports out and I’ll check if it works! Many thanks again!
