Wow that really sucks, I use the show my webcams with a few friends out of state just because when they launch the full feature video call the video isn't as good. I got the update and now looking to revert back to an older version. If this was confusing to some don't take the feature out, just rename it as video only or move it under some other option.

This is way more than lame. I have the new MSN with that stupid video call shit. I'm looking to downgrade because it's just plain annoying. I HATE it. So do all of my friends. We're ALL looking to revert to the older version because this ruined it for us.

Also think this new video set-up is rubbish. My daughter has quite a few friends whose older computers quite simply cannot handle video calling so they rely on webcam only. The result is that she now cannot 'see' them when talking on Messenger and she is REALLY unhappy/annoyed about his.

this is awful!!

I will be writing to messenger to ask for a full reimbursement for the cost of my cam! I used to have multiple webcams open at once and now can just have one. bloody annoying! it was perfect before for people who didn't want to do video calls. just so fraustrating, and the quality seems even worse!!

NOT ONE PERSON LIKES THIS!!

revert back before someone starts a FB group!

Please ROLLBACK these new Webcam feature..... Seriously, it SUCKS...I want to be able to start my webcam only !! Plus the video quality is lower when you force audio ! I have been using Messenger for year now, ad every new version was always adding a plus, but this is a MAJOR DRAWBACK !! Please give us again the ability to start the Webcam only !! Cheers

I really HATE the new webcam "features" with WORSE cam quality and REQUIRED videocalls, NO MORE just cam chats with typing, no more single side cams when only one person HAS a cam, no more FLEXIBILITY!!! This is just stupid, what moron thought this up? Yes, let's go forward by giving our users LESS capability, and LOWER quality!!! Boy that makes sense to me! Most of my video usage, in fact over 90% is overseas with people in developing countries and the quality is very bad indeed !!!! The videocalls drop constantly. So unless I can find some way to upgrade the entire Third World to Microsoft's insane high-level network standards, I'm sunk! Thank you SO MUCH Microsoft!!! Yes, that was being facetious! But hey, you're Microsoft, you can do anything! Right?

Looks like I will have to change everyone I know over to Skype and drop Microsoft's product! Good going Microsoft! You just alienated me and everyone I know!
