You may find the
Windows Live Today window helpful, but you can also access Hotmail from Messenger
itself, so you don??™t need to keep the window open just for Hotmail.
Configure Windows Live Messenger for Audio and Video
You can use Messenger for text-only chat, but this project assumes that you want to
use its audio and video capabilities. To set them up, follow these steps:
In the main Messenger window, click the Show Menu button (the button to
the left of the Minimize button on the title bar), and then choose Tools | Audio
And Video Setup to launch the Audio And Video Setup Wizard.
Close all audio and video programs. For example, close Windows Media
Player if you??™re listening to music.
Make sure your webcam, microphone, and speakers are connected.
Click the Next button. The wizard displays the Speaker Setup screen.
In the Select The Speakers Or Headset You Would Like To Use drop-down
list, make sure that the wizard has selected your speakers or headset. (If you
have only speakers, there??™s a good chance that the wizard will have made
the right choice.)
If you??™re using headphones, select the Click Here If You Are Using Headphones
check box.
Click the Play Sound button to start playing a sample sound, and then drag
the Speaker Volume slider to set the volume to a reasonable level.
