MSN Webcam

Greetings,

I searched for the answer but couldn't find it.
Is it possible for me to see a friend of mine who uses msn messanger and has a webcam, through miranda?

Not at the moment. No plans for implementing it yet. But it might be done.

I know this would be very much appreciated by many people.
Thanks for the quick response.

this other webcam feature request thread got lost but i wanted to say that even if there was a webcam plugin that would work only between two miranda clients, it would be pretty neat, even though i never use my cam

Most people use Webcam with MSN Messanger. So a plugin only between Miranda wont be very efficient.

the problem is that msn messenger isnt documented anywhere, so everything has to be figgured out by reverse engineering which is next to impossible for some things :)

But some people like the folks from Trillian have managed it in some way :)

the trillian webcam works only between trillian clients an not with msn clients

Thats NOT right. Works perfect between Trillian and MSN Messanger.
Doing that with friends who have MSN Messanger. I think the only problem appears if diferent Systems of Window are used, but Windows XP on both sides, no problem.
