Can I always have web cam accepted on LAN?

I have Windows Live Messenger running on two computers at home on our LAN.
Is there a way to have the web cam enabled in WLM on one computer and
*always* accepted on the other computer?

The way it is right now, when I offer to show my web cam to a contact on my
LAN I have to wait for them to accept.

TIA

Greetings,

With just Messenger, no. With Messenger Plus Live (www.msgpluslive.net) however, you can
enable an auto-accept function from that. You can even only allow specific contacts
auto-accept privileges, so no one can abuse it.

The specific option can be obtained after installing Plus by opening the main Messenger
window, pressing Alt-U on the keyboard, choosing Preferences, then Conversations tab and the
options for auto-accept are at the bottom.
