What's wrong with my webcam?

Asked by Facade (11394points) | asked July 18th, 2009 | 10 responses | “Great Question” (0points) | Flag as…

So I have my MAcBook Pro now yay it’s great :) But there’s a problem with my webcam I think. I was IMing on yahoo while inviting my babe to view my webcam no, not like that you hornballs he said that there was no prompt whatsoever for him to click “yes” to view it or whatever. but i could see me.
what do you guys think is the problem?

Were you “commando” at the time? Maybe HE was? :)

It’d be very strange if your built in iSight camera didn’t work right out of the box. Try using Photo Booth to check it and make sure it’s ok. If it works then it’s a Yahoo problem. I don’t know anything about Yahoo chat, but one guess is that it might not work unless his webcam is hooked up, too. If that still doesn’t work then try a different chat client with video capabilities, like gmail, AIM or skype. Good luck!

@Facade At least your brand new computer is working! And I’m sure you’ll be able to get video chat working with a little experimentation. Brand new macs are one of my favorite things ever. Have fun playing with your new baby! :)
