Is there a way I can view my own photo - even if I'm not currently in a
conversation with anyone? I thought there was a setting to allow me to see
my photo (so I know what's being sent). Thanks.........

Greetings,

Assuming you just mean your display picture, you can open up the main Messenger window, click
the Tools menu, then Change Display Picture to see exactly what's being sent. If you mean
your webcam, you can click the Tools menu, then Web Camera Settings to see a live view.

Thanks - I thought there was a way to see my own picture - guess I was
wrong.

Hi,

I think I've addressed just about every "picture" you could be referring to, so I'm really
not sure what you mean.

I think the answer is: I can't do what I thought I could do - see my own
picture in the window as I'm communicating. I thought I remembered that,
when I first set up my photo, I could see it when I was communicating. That
way, I could be sure it was transmitting. I was wrong - but thanks for
trying to help.

Hi Jamoke,

If you mean within a conversation window, you may just need to click the arrow on the right
of the conversation window to see your own picture:
