How Many Frames per Second?

I can currently use video conferencing on WLM at 15 frames per second. My
webcam can handle 30 and 60 fps (and so can the one at the other end of the
call), but I can't find a way to make this work when actually chatting. Is
there a limit on what the service permits? If I recall, this feature is
hosted through Logitech servers . . . so they may have an upper limit. Any
way around this? My broadband connection has plenty of spare bandwidth - I
want to use it! 15 fps is pretty decent - but sharper is better . . .

Why would it need to go through server for gods sake. Once you are connected
to one another the connection is direct, no server is required.

So what is the typical and maximum fps you get when using video over WLM?
Can it do better than my 15 fps? Fergodsache.

Yes, my ignorance in this and many other subjects is profound, but I'm still
interested in knowing the fps capabilities of WLM. Yes, the stuff about
Logitech servers was no doubt stupid, but maybe the WLM client software can't
cope with more than 15 fps . . . ? Scorn me with your objective truth.

how can one tell how many fps you are currently running at? i have a webcam
which is supposed to be a 30fps one, but the video in my conversation window
(of both myself and my contact) is kind of delayed/choppy, and really not
that good quality.

15fps is a limitation of the client.

Just to clarify your statement about going through the server--depending on
the network connection on your side and your buddy's side, you may or may not
go through the server. For example, if your friend is behind a firewall and
both clients are unable to establish a direct connection, you will have to go
through the server.
