Hi there,
I know skype is providing video features with PC version and not w/ Mac
version presently. Thus I was using older version of skype and doubling
it with yahoo messenger webcam. The setup was working, cheap and okay.
System on my end: Mac OSX, Logitech zoom webcam, skype 1.3, yahoo
messenger (updated last week)
Other end: XP windows, skype and yahoo messenger.
We were able to integrate voice and video features using these 2 s/w
and manage.
Then I went ahead and installed the newer version of skype (Max OSX
1.4....). Bad idea. I couldn't use my webcam anymore and neither could
I see my friends webcam. Took me a while to figure out what went wrong
all of a sudden. But the fact that whenever I used skype, it crashed
the 1st time and then worked fine, gave me a clue. I had my older
installer file. I used it to go back one version of skype and it was
all fine. Now my webcam works again, no trouble.
Has anyone else faced such a problem? Any news on when the video on mac
starts to work, for s/w such as skype! yahoo refresh rate is pretty
slow...
Cheers...
