Webcam Chat With Front Camrea Over Msn Mobile
with this program from microsoft, you can sign in to your msn and make a video call with the ones on your list. Two things i should say;
fisrt, this program does not use front camera, only the back camera can be used, and other friend should have this program installed in his PPC too..
There is also a seperate PC software which is used for making video call on PC, otherwise man on pc can not see your video coming from your PPC...
install and play for a while, you will understand the usage easily.
By the way, both GPRS and WiFi are supported. And both are the latest versions. I hope you are using windows mobile 5, because with windows mobile 6, sometimes program can make some problems.. Like you can not see client, but client can see you, or vice versa...

Viewing a webcam with MSN Messenger for 2003se

HI
Is it possiable to view a webcam image with MSN Messenger for pocket pc using Mobile 2003se.
I have looked at the tools option within the MSN Messenger software currently running om my XDA II with Mobile 2003se, & can find no option to receive a webcam call or sound?
Having searched the net on this issue, I have found mention of a program called Microsoft Portrait which appears to give this function to MSN Messenger, but although this is a microsoft product, which is currently downloadable, I am a little reluctant to try as it's dated 2004 ver 2.3.
I have also looked at upgrades for MSN Messenger for Mobile 2003se & there is a site which will upgrade the product via Activesync, but with no listing of what features are available, or version No. to check against.
(Is it actually possiable to identify version of MSN Messenger running under 2003se in some way?)
Has anyone gone through this route before who can help me?

Video chat over MSN Messenger

Is there a way to use videochat over wireless connection from Universal like from desktop computer? The O2 ROM has MSN Messanger but this doesn't support that feature.
Thanks.

Messaging clients on Windows Mobile aren't great. MSN is a battery hog. Agile Messenger is featureless. You'd think there'd be a great one to support this video conferencing feature by now. It'll happen.
I hope so. Video call is supported via GPRS/3G (way expensive), but not via tcpip.

Actualy via MSN Messenger, surely it would just be GPRS/3G data, not the video call facility being used?

I'd prefer MSN Messenger video via GPRS/3G data and via wifi as well. Video call is also ridiculously costly.
More Camera Function for your buck
As indicated here, and restated here to reduce double up....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=227487#227487
Any programmers out there? Gurus, god like creatures, avatars, superheros, and supreme beings..... PLEASE can any of you develop a program to allow us to get more functionality out of the camera:
1. As indicated, as a security camera
2. Instant Messenger or alternative instant chat by camera over WIFI rather than needing a video call
3. Perhaps even, maybe possibly, enable the camera flashlight also.....
4. Remote control operation from PC
5. Remote control operation over the web!!
I'll tip in some bucks for it and I am sure given the number of forums on this, that others will also.
Alas, mine is the JJ rather than Wizard, but I think many and all would like some additional apps and functions out of the cameras.

How to set up Hermes for Webcam app (Skype, IM etc.)

Hi!
I got a problem to set up the Hermes as a webcam for messenger apps (Skype, YIM). I got coolcamera 1.15b1 and everything works fine within that application via activesynch and USB connection on dekstop.
But when I try to select the Hermes for webcam device within Skype or Yahoo messenger, it is not shown as option there (only standard windows device or nothing). Maybe I need some driver for using the Hermes as webcam in WinXP (SP2)? How to setup XP or Hermes that Skype will recognize it as webcam device?
Any help much appreciated.
Cool Cam
You need to install there desktop app first and run it. It should then appear as a webcam choice in skype/ options/ video/ test webcam etc.
Otherwise, troll the cool cam forums.
Also, I got it working on yahoo messenger first, then on skype, couldn't get it working otherwise.
I installed desktop app but no option in skype/yahoo to choose it (even while running the app).
I got some register error though, but by ignoring it, program installed successfully. Hm, maybe I need this C++ update for XP then. Gonna try.
Update: It was the C++ thing eventually, so I downloaded http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...EE-A3F9-4C13-9C99-220B62A191EE&displaylang=en and after installation Coolcamera was shown for webcam device. Works fine now.

Video Cam

Hi,
Is there any way to use the video cam on the tytn.. if you do not have access to 3g or gprs? is there any way to get this working over a wireless connection?
Is there any other software that will enable its use in anything other than a video call. At the moment for me its a bit useless!
Thanks
Webcamera Plus from Ateksoft lets you use either camera as a webcam (with a wifi or USB connection to a PC).

but does this software alow u to use the hermes on msn messenger as a webcam?
msn and skype and........
yes you can, but only from pc.
One missed thing is to use msn + cam directly with the pda (without pc support)
I hope there are commercial reasons, because video calls can be unuseless if you can videocall via mobile messenger.
That would require someone to write a version of Messenger for the PPC that supported video calling, though. Unlikely that anyone except MS would do that, as I don't even know of any 3rd party PC clients that support it fully.
As someone mentioned in another thread, MS Portrait supports video calling - that might be some use.
Here's the situation so far.. I have the software mentioned above, and I can use the Tytn as a webcam, but the problem is that it only shows up in the window on the desktop that one has to open using the software.
I can't get the image to show up on MSN messenger instead..
Is there something that I am missing??
A few people have had this issue. Uninstall/reinstall/reboot worked for me, then you select the source in the webcam setup part of Messenger.

Webcam on HD ?

Hello
does anyone know if there is an application to turn the HD into a webcam ?
To use with skype or MSN.
Thanks.
I don't believe you can use the phone as a webcam for msn or skype, I don't think the mobile versions support that. However, if i've mis understood you and you want to use the cam for PC msn or skype, then check out ATEKSOFT web Camera Plus. It's a fantastic program which will allow you not only to use the phone as a webcam over activesync, but you can do it over wifi too with an IP connection.
See what you think.

WebCameraPlus does not work with THD. Tried WebCameraPlus from my Prophet where it worked perfectly.
another video-chat thread
not tried by myself, but maybe there is something interesting:
