How can i broadcast my webcam in yahoo chat, It always say "SERVER IS BUSY, Try AGAIN LATER"
I have fixed YM preferences, such as no proxies, connections and other options in yahoo messenger but still i get this "SERVER is BUSY" i hate it, i cant even accept/view webcam of other people. My camera is fine when i am using it offline (A4 tech camera). I am running Windows XP SP 2, with VISTA transformation look. I have Globe wireless internet connection which is running good. Sometimes the camera works if i am patient in clicking many times and waiting till it connects, but most of the time it is "SERVER is BUSY" which makes the hell out of it. Please help anyone expert enough to solve this. thanks guys!
I used to get this when I was on dial-up but never since going broadband - so the bandwidth may be fragile.
You need to interrogate what is happening when the webcam is transmitting by opening the webcam menu on the webcam frame and click "statistics" Its best to transmit the "small" image and use the zoom 200% when established ( same as sending large photos by email ) - if I go for speed rather than quality on the slider I can achieve 5-6 frames per second ( small size) but I normally transmit about 1-2 f/s.
I have my webcam under VFW (video for windows) control as I used to get freeze problems. This involves a registry change - detailed in Messenger help

You can tell when its under VFW control because VFW will be on the bottom of the Statistics box. You may need a little bit of software to make it work, if like me you do not have Directx on your pc - if so download the software featured here.

Dont worry about using the proxy server in "Connections" - Use it when you have to - I had to use it today to make my my webcam work - I also had to increase my virtual memory but that was as a result of error messages

theres no problem in your webcam but definitely you have a problem in your messenger. try re installing the messenger, will surely work.
