Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Seriously though - there's guidelines I think actually on the initial chatroom page (or there used to be) - something about clicking the camera icon and accepting something or other.

You Dont Need to Know, right now

From the FAQs:-

Check the following:

1. There is a 2nd link to activate your cam. If the main one doesn't work, use the secondary one which says in red "(Above not working? Click here)".

2. You need to be using the latest version of Adobe Flash player. You can download Flash at the adobe site

3. Check you don't have any other software accessing your cam. If you do, close it down.

4. Try it in another browser e.g. Google Chrome

5. If you're still not getting any joy, reboot your PC, ensure that any cam software is closed then try the above steps again.

Also, try plugging headphones into the microphone socket on your computer (this seems to fool the software into recognising your cam).
