What happens if you are disconnected from a video call

ID: SLN1547
Refers to: Messenger 11.5 , Messenger 11 , Messenger 10 and earlier

Description

This document describes what to do when you lose connection during a video call.


Resolution

If the webcam is disconnected during a video call you will have to restart the session. Even if you re-connect the webcam the other party will not be able to view you in the same session.

To fix this problem, end your current video call, connect your webcam, then start a new video call to your friend.

Tip: You can test your webcam. Go to Testing Your Webcam For Video Calling for more information.
