Hi, I was thinking about bringing my webcam to the Commons but I've heard that they don't work properly because of a firewall? Someone in an earlier thread from last year said that you could see the other person's webcam but they couldn't see yours - is this still the same now or have things changed? Is there any way around that security setting if it's still in place? from Beth
that's a good questions, I have a highres. mac iSight that I got specifically for my trip down there.
my Norwegian roommate used to have her webcam going, with no problems on either side. I think she used it through msn, could be wrong though. This was back in 2004, so not sure if anything has changed.
If there is a problem, it'll likely be to do with the port restrictions. And you can pay to have them removed. It's a fairly nominal sum.
I used my webcam on messenger in Vista with no problems during last summer, i imagine the commons would be the same jo xx
Thanks for the replies guys - thats good news then as I was only planning to use it through messenger! Cheers! from Beth
