Be careful if you have your web cam on  people CAN see you even if you cant see them    I didn't know that some one was using my computer and they left the web cam on and i was wondering why people kept saying I can see you.   So make sure you know the person you are talking to before you go on   To many people have been hurt from thinking that they are a friend and then well you decide

Your friend may not be around when you are - you friend may have forgotten to change her status to away.  As far as the web cam and mike is concerned, your friend has to give you permission to see her

this happens if you have the camera application open somewhere else (ie outside of MSN/Yahoo Messenger).

It's because the computer monitor's refresh rate is different than that of the video camera's refresh rate. It's like they're both opening and closing a shutter at incredible speeds, but one is faster than the other (usually the computer monitor), so occasionally, there'll be some spots where the camera catches the monitor when it's blank.

To let someone see you on cam is letting that person into your privacy. The right to allow someone to do that is that man/woman's individual right and NOBODY can question why they do or dont.\n\nI think you should respect that right and stop thinking that every woman/girl will let u see their cam the moment u ask for it. Not to mention there are ppl who dont even ask but directly do "View webcam". \n\nPlease let them have their privacy and please do respect their decision whether you get to see or not. \n\nAlso, each person is beautiful in each way. So please dont be so rude.. \n\n.:Fishie:.

Just disconnect your web cam. To view others on web cam you send request to watch them, if they permit you can do so. And at the same time if you have disconnect your web cam and other people send a request in order to see your web cam, they get a message that the web cam is not available. Is that OK.

The owner of the webcam whom you're trying to view simply denied your request to view it.  Ask properly and courteously if s/he could allow you to view her/his cam, i.e., IM her/him.  Viewing one's cam without formal request or without asking for permission seems rude for most people so ask nicely. ;-)

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

You've got 3 problems....\nYou are low on resources (memory, cpu) so shutdown programs you aren't using\nYou have your camera setup to "shutdown" or "standby" when idle for a certain amount of time, turn that feature off\nYou have messenger (or whatever you are using to "broadcast" your webcam) set to show you as away after a certain amount of time, turn that off as well.

It looks like your monitor is either going bad or you have a loose connection.

Please do not try to record incoming webcam, it is dangerous because you are playing with other people's privacy.  Please respect other people's privacy....
