We made a change today to how we detect your cam in new chat.

If your cam WORKS in old (userplane) chat BUT DID NOT in new chat, please give it another try let us know how you get on

I tried using Chrome instead of firefox, and it at least comes up with a option to allow cam, which it didnt before, and my cam symbol appears on the list. Just it seems not allowing anyone to view it, as i clicked on my own cam and cannot view anything. Some other people said in the room they cannot view all the cams so it might be a chatroom problem rather than my cam now.

Tried again and its not coming up with the option to click your cam on now. so seems to be back to before for me anyway - ie cant get cam to connect in new rooms.

There should be an allow radio button. You just need to ensure that this is selected.

What do you see? What does it say?

If you don't see this can you take a pic of what you see and contact us privately we'll give you an email addy to mail it to

We've now provided an alternative cam link which says "(Above not working, click here)" which starts the cam in the "old" way and should fix the above

What version of Flash are you running sounds like you may have an older one.

What version number does following say?

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html

Try deleting temp internet files in your browser, then reinstall adobe flash.

There are two ways to start your cam - try the alternative way (red link).

What cam and what browser do you use?

If you have any anti-virus/firewall turn off temporarily just to test.

Everthing seems to work for cam in new room apart from there is no picture coming out so anyone who clicks on it sees a blank white screen.

Getting seriously annoyed why i can get my cam to work in every other cam chatroom i use(8 in total), yet it will not work in the new beta chatroom. There is obviously nothing wrong with my cam or it wouldnt work with these other chatrooms, and it wont work on either Chrome, firefox or IE so cannot be the browser im using. Ive installed the newest version of flash, and still doesnt work. Ive spoken to other users in the new chatroom and they have the same problem, cam shows in room but no picture available.

We feel your pain

We'll try and go through this logically with you step by step.

When you start up the chat room, what exactly do you see in the top right window "Your cam"?

When i log into the new chat i have a box that says click here to start cam, so i click on that. Then box that is adobe flash player settings. It says allow chat etc to access cam and microphone and 2 options allow or deny. I click on allow and click on remember. Then close the box. The the screen is a white blank box apart from 2 tabs and a symbol for a screwdriver?. The first box says hide cam with a cam symbol, and the second box says stop audio with another symbol for audio?.

My cam symbol appears in the list in the room, but when people click on it, they just see a blank screen.

Thanks. What should happen after you've clicked "allow" is that you'll see your own cam feed in the box at the top right that you clicked in.

Do you see this?

OK.

Can you delete temp internet files in your chosen browser?

Then:

When you first go into chat rather than clicking the blue link, then "allow" in flash settings, try the other link at the bottom which says "(Above not working? Try here)"

And let us know what you see (or if it's just the same as the other way).

OK. If you click the toolbox icon at the right of the hide cam and audio buttons, is it set to the correct cam on the cam tab (think this is the right most tab) in Flash settings

I borrowed a laptop to test out if it worked on my wireless connection on chrome. It works fine, so i would properly say the problem is with the webcam im using, as the laptops built in webcam worked fine in the new chatroom.

No cam for me either.

I am using Apple Mac in Safari

Downloaded newest flash and latest Safari update

Chrom is only for OS10.5... mine is 10.4.1

For both cam entry points I get the flash settings screen when I click.

Just need to click allow button but whole screen is frozen

Frustrating.

Any suggestions ADMIN?

We're having the same problem - cam works fine in old chat but just gives a white screen in new chat.

Running latest version of flash (just updated), Windows 7 Ultimate, IE8.

Everything looks like its set properly (flash options etc) but just doesn't work!

A few people have fixed this by plugging something into their MIC jack (the microphone socket on your pc/laptop)
