Greetings,
It should continue to work. However, you will need to set up Messenger for the new device.
To do so, press the Alt key on the keyboard in any Messenger window to bring up the menu bar,
then choose Tools, and then Audio and Video setup.
After that, just go through the wizard and it should work. Also, if you want to truly avoid
using audio /w video, you can bring up the menu bar again using Alt, choose Actions, then
Video, and then 'Share my webcam' (your contact will have to do the same thing).
