  • HP MediaSmart Webcam starts during Skype video chat

    HP HDX16t (HDX 16 t-1100-cto) laptop, windows vista 32-bit

    webcam works fine with Skype, but whenever I run a Skype video conversation, the HP MediaSmart Webcam window appears.

    It's really annoying, I kill him every time. Is it possible to configure HP MediaSmart Webcam do not start when I use the webcam for Skype. I don't see this option in the parameters of MediaSmarts.

    Thank you...

    I had the same problem and I think that I have stopped running on the hp mediasmart webcam program every time Skype I videocall. In Skype (v4), I went to tools > options > video settings and there is a webcam selection menu. In this menu, I deselected HP MediaSmart Webcam who appeared there and chose HP Webcam. This seems to have done the trick.

    Good luck.

    Hello...

    My PC works with Windows XP Home edition, but everything in trying to watch some YouTube videos (fullscreen), my PC stops and restarts. Also, if I did video chat with Skype, after 5 or 10 minutes, my PC restarts. However, I don't find any problem in the video game CDs and DVDs, even in mode full-screen for a long time... But if I try to display in full-screen streaming videos, my PC stop (even with the Skype video chat). Config. My PC is Intel D945GCNL Motherboard, 1.5 DDR2 RAM, Dual Core processor * address email is removed from the privacy * GHz and Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3.

  • Participants cannot hear the video Youtube

    video YouTube shared during a meeting, but the audio is not distributed to the participants. I tested this on two computers and the participating computer audio works fine.

    Why participants not able to hear the audio from the youtube video?

    Thank you.

    Share a video through screen sharing doesn't share the Visual on the screen (and in the case of the video, it's that evil as share the screen frame rate is so much lower than the frame rate of the video). If you can get the YouTube video in FLV format and download it directly in the share pod. Then everyone will be able to hear the audio from the video and see more clearly on their computer.

  • All using windows movie maker, I added audio, but I can't hear the music while playing the video... Why is this?

    All using windows movie maker, I added audio, but I can't hear the music while playing the video... Why is this?

    Hello

    1. What is the format of the video file that you use in Movie Maker?

    2. do you receive error messages when you try to play the video?

    Some audio and video file formats are not supported in Windows Movie Maker and cannot be imported. However, if you have a video or audio file that is not taken care of, you can use a non-Microsoft video editing software to convert the file into a format supported by Windows Movie Maker, and then import the video file or an audio resulting in Windows Movie Maker.

    You can use your favorite search engine and download third-party video editing software to convert the file.

    Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
