View Full Screen Webcam in Messenger 2009

I just installed Messenger 2009 (Ver: 14.0.8089.726) but I see no way to
switch to full screen webcam viewing - Help.

Greetings Rick,

The full screen option appears only when using the Start Video Call (as opposed to the
sharing webcam option) and appears by clicking the arrow button next to the video (when
connected), choosing Size and then Full Screen.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I have the same problem - I only have
options to choose 'small' or 'medium' video size. I used to use full screen
fine before i upgraded to latest windows live version and really need it back.

Surely it must work somehow like it used to? Why would they remove the full
screen option?

I also am having this problem. I've assumed I am doing something wrong, but
now am wondering about that.

My question is how I can send text while I'm on the full screen mode?

Full screen only works in Video chat not webcam mode.
