Make sure you don't have Skype or anything else that uses the camera running in the background while on Yahoo Messenger. The camera can only be used by one program at a time.

Hello,\n First I guess your Web Cam was installed yet.\n You should have a software which is able to do it. For instance: Net Meeting, yahoo Messenger and MSN Messenger, so the option like "Start talking with Web Cam" should have been used.\n  The talker who is talking to you have to have the same software that you have.\n   I hope you have success.

use firewire (IEEE 1394), or that funky-shaped port on one side that is square on one side and sort of narrows on the other.\n\nIf it's not a firewire camera, i can't help you.  If it does, Windows Movie Maker will guide you.

What software are you using. Adobe softwares have problem showing up Capture Devices that aren't on there list. By the way, what kind of camcorder are you using. If it supports firewire use it. It works better and you get better image quality.

I think your best option would be to unload it...unplug camera and start all over...download the web cam software again and hook up cam again and then try again cause i had the same prob but after doing it the second time it worked..if not read the owners Manuel hope that helps..

make sure u install the drivers with the disk it came with or look for the website for the brand of web cam u have and download them there. if that dont work, then contact the company for help.

Probably, you must be behind a firewall.  To check for firewall settings, keep the camera disconnected.  Go to Yahoo Messenger > Preferenecs > Connection.  Select a connection with no firewall.  Click on OK and reconnect the camera.\n\nI hope it should work.  If it doesn't try reinstalling the camera drivers and verify with the admin if there is a firewall on the network that prevents access.

your question mean what? \n1. it does not work totaly in windows or \n2. you dont know how to make it work (eg :video chat in yahoo massanger)\n\nanswer for question 1. if it is totaly not work (not function in windows) you need to find driver to work.\n\nfirst of all\n\ntry plug in your webcam to pc. if your windows just detect and dont ask (prompt) for any software or driver that mean no need to install additional driver.\n\nif windows ask it, try find cd that come with your webcam. if lost. determine what brand your webcam is. try search at google using this keyword : "driver for xxxxx webcam (replace xxxx with your webcam brand or model)\n\nanswer question 2. of you dont know how to make it work with yahoo masssanger,\n\n1. click  menu "messenger" at main yahoo windows. if you dont know how to find, look at the above icon you use to change your status.\n\n2. click "mywebcam" and follow the instruction. read carefully, because we are here just can instruct you in text, so what i can say here. key to success in computer is "read and understand what u click"\n\ntry.. good luck

Have you installed the software/drivers for the webcam?  You can't just plug a cam in your computer without its drivers.  If you did install the cam's software, try reinstalling it again and see that helps.

when u install it, it should have had a webcam program with it. \nor if u have a good graphical program do import and then choose source as webcam, or if u have a client like messenger installed click on webcam

If you are using Windows, you could download a newer version of YIM! (4.1 or later?)  Plugging your webcam into one of the USB port, and the IM session would guide you through enabling it for your friend to view your webcam.

Try to uninstall your webcam and its drivers and reinstall it,\n\nthe porblem you are saying is mostly because of conflict of drivers\n\nafter installation check there\n\nRightclick Mycomputer icon in desktop -> Properties->Hardware->Device manager\n\nscroll down and find your webacm and check it properties and make sure it doesnt have an exclamation mark or red ex\n\n\nif all fails contact the manufactures for instalation instructions\n\ngl

your only the second person I know with a webcam. Me being the first. But mine only works on MSN. As far as I know. Have had a chance to use it that much.
