C260 Camera and MS Messenger? Help! (Win7-64bit)

pedro55 — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 16:06:12 GMT

Hello,

We bought this camera for my wife to use with MS Messenger but MS Messenger "Please install a web camera to make a video connection" when we try to connect. She is running Win7-64bit.

We have installed all the Logitech software for the camera and we can see video in the Logitech Webcam application.

The funny thing is that if we first try to make a video call in MS Messenger the Logitech Webcam application will say "camera in use by MS Messenger".

Here is another piece of info. The C260 works fine under MS Messenger on my computer also running Win7-64.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Does this issue occur when you are using the camera in the Logitech Webcam Software application (i.e., to create still images and/or videos), or only in a third-party Instant Messenger program (Skype)?

Thanks.

Excuse me once more.

Is there not some way that I can operate the cam with the correct driver, but without the Logitech application software running?

Thank you

Welcome to the Logitech Community Webcam Forum stonepretender! :smileyhappy:

1) What is the 860-xxxxxx (or 8xxxxx) series number from the camera's identification tag (FAQ #3427), or preferably... the USB\VID ID?

2) What Operating System (OS) and Service Pack (SP) version is installed?

Thanks.

JMCRE8,

Have you been using the Skype forums to find a solution to your problems? I am trying to but I am having some problems with it.

1.) I have registered and logged in, no activation email has been mentioned or received, yet I am unable to post a new topic.

2.) I am also unable to search the forums. I must be overlooking something but I simply cannot find these two functions. The search button at the top returned "The Ugly Duckling" joke in chinese when I searched "Logitech webcam software freezes skype".

This is so frustrating, having a NEW camera that doesn't work properly on a NEW computer, and nobody can or will help.

Hi JMCRE8

I have noticed that the FREEZE happens simultaneously to the Logitech menu application "getting the focus" if you know what that means. In other words, the Logitech software in the Task Bar becomes orange, and the video feed freezes in Skype. Personally, I don't think there is anything you can do about it, unless the "Not My Problem" dude at Logitech consults with the software developer who wrote the Logitech menu application. I will embark to dredge the endless internet forums for an alternative solution.

Please try and get in touch with me if you find a solution.

Thank you

Hi there JMCRE8,

Please contact me if you have managed to resolve this problem, or post here what you did to resolve it.

Thank you

Logitech says:

"First off.... ALL Instant Messenger (IM) issues are either "IM" or "networking" issues...they are not Logitech related problems...end of story."

In other words, Logitech dude, if the problem isn't your job, then it's simply not your job and you're not interested.

Yeah. We get a lot of that in Africa too. We are your CUSTOMERS. Are you not interested in helping in the least?

Using TWO 9000 Pro webcams at ONCE?

Tequila Whisper — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 02:12:42 GMT

Hi Community!

I'm trying to do a 2-camera webcast using a 9000 Pro webcam (which I LOVE) and a Sony mini DV cam as my 2nd source. I'm having alot of trouble with that Sony cam as alot of the webcasting software (WireCast, Ustream Producer Pro, etc..) is taking the source at 30 fps and I cannot ratchet that frame rate down it seems. 30 fps is complete overkill and is stuttering.

So I am going to PLAN B:

TWO 9000 Pro webcams -- One amied at (the great) me, and the other at my on-location audience.

Question:

Will the Logitech software/drivers get "confused" if I'm using TWO 9000 Pro cams at once?

(Will I simply pop-up TWO identical "Webcam Software" windows? This scenario is something i could live with -- I dunno how the Webcam Software would know to handle two cams...)

Any help here is greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

Lippy

Will not activate video on website

My video will not activate on a website. Is there something I need to do first, turn it on or activate something.

It is a C600.

I just tried it and added the application to skype and the logitech software. Then I made a skype call and went on the logitech software and I still cannot find where the option for video effects are. I looked on the manual for where it is supposed to be on the logitech software and it is not there. So I still do not know what is going on?

Logitech Help Center (lws_language.chm) -> Settings -> General settings -> Video Effects application support

Thanks.
