Using video on Kopete?
Hi,
I realize this is a REDICULASLY stuipid question but here goes: My Kopete recognises my camera. However I can't find the button to start a video chat with someone with MSN. How does one start a video chat? As in where to click? I feel like I should've found it but I can't...

Re: Using video on Kopete?
Same problem here. It seems to be a very common bug...
Anyone found some kind of solution ?

Re: Using video on Kopete?
Which IM protocol are you trying to use it over? I believe it's only an option on Yahoo and maybe one other. Not AIM.

Re: Using video on Kopete?
If you want msn videochat = amsn
If you want yahoo videochat = gyachi
Sadly Kopete 4.3 does not support webcam.
Excuse my poor English.

If so why it has video settings in the preferences ? And it works too

Because maybe in future it will work.

Re: Using video on Kopete?
please vote for the issue in KDE brain storm and Ubuntu brainstorm.
It is annoying that Kopete is so much feature incomplete

Re: Using video on Kopete?
I'm not sure, but I think I read somewhere that Microsoft recently changed the MSN prococoll, so no client is supporting videochat on MSN atm. But that's only a guess.
