pixiepistlz Posted December 13, 2008 CID Share Posted December 13, 2008 I had downloaded google chrome on gmail to use the new feature ,"video chat". My webcam seems to be compatable. (Logitec brand) which is what I choose to set it up on chat in gmail, when it gave the options.. the sound works fine and I can get only part of the picture when I verify the settings, green vertical bars are across the screen and you can see me behind it . Anyways. I went to troubleshoot and everything checks out. I wonder why it is still like that ??. When I try the video chat anyways, it says error and shuts it off. Everything works fine in YIM when I use the webcam , so it is not the webcam itself. I am wondering if this is a problem with gmail then. I don't know what else to download to get it to work. I do my deep scans in safe mode to remove harmful items from my computer and keep it fine tuned. Any suggestions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinlay Posted December 13, 2008 CID Share Posted December 13, 2008 Have you tried using it in firefox or IE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixiepistlz Posted December 13, 2008 Author CID Share Posted December 13, 2008 Nope. Chrome was on the list of "supported browsers" Voice and video in Gmail only works with the newer version of Gmail in supported browsers: FF 2.0+, IE 6.0+, Safari 3.0+, and Google Chrome.( that is what the troubleshoot page says.) When I get around to it , I will download the FF or the IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinlay Posted December 13, 2008 CID Share Posted December 13, 2008 If your running windows your going to have IE already installed. Firefox is just a better browser all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
