Webcam size options

Maybe I'm missing something obvious but in previous versions o
messenger the webcam sizing options included a large size whic
displayed the cam in a 320x240 window. I've upgraded to version 9 an
the only options I can find for the cam size are medium
Has the Large option been removed or am I doing something silly?

Greetings,

The settings are identical, although there have been further problems with the video function
so it's possible this has been broken.

Is this using the 'Share/Send My Webcam" or the "Video Call" function (they aren't the same).
If you're using one, try the other and see what you get.

Also, it would be helpful to know what webcam you're using.

Thanks for the reply

This was using the Video Call function. I tested it with a couple o
friends both of whom are still on WLM 8.5 and they could see my ca
image as 'large', I just didn't have the option to view their cam i
'large mode'

My cam is an ancient (came free with a PC I got around 1999/2000) Inte
webcam. I can check the exact model if you think its cam related but a
my cam appears to broadcast fine and I didn't even have the 'large
option for 2 different cams (one a new'ish Sony, the other a logitec
thats a few years old) that were sending video to me it seems unlikel
its hardware.
I'll try the 'send cam' option to see if it makes a difference

Also noticed I'm not the only one seeing the same problem

Hi Daemonic,

Amusingly, I use one of the those Intel cams myself (CS430 to be precise) and don't have this
problem.
Using my other PC which has a Logitech Communicate STX I have the Large size without any
issue.

Thanks for the attention to the other thread, it certainly sounds like yet another video
problem in 2009...

Jonathan
Thanks for the reply.
The model I use is a CS330 so not too distant from the model you have.
From the thread I linked previously, that user is on Windows XP and so
am I? Could it be a Windows XP problem?
