Can't get cam to work in New Chat? Possible solution.

I'm not suggesting this will solve everybody's problems, but it worked for me!

The problem that I had seemed to occur shortly after a recent Flash update - may be linked, may be coincidence.

When I went into new chat I could see the "Click to Start Cam" and "Above not working? Click here" links, but neither of them were clickable. I found that, if I right clicked on where my cam should be shown, and chose "Global Settings ..." and then the "Cam and Mic" tab and click the "Camera and Microphone Settings by Site..." button, there is a list of web sites. I changed the setting for chat.fabswingers.com from "Ask me for permission" to "Allow" and when I restarted chat, my cam came on automatically. I can then hide the cam if I want to.

I've switched this backwards and forwards several times with the same results. I'm guessing that there's a bug in the interchange between the site and Flash Player as the small "Adobe Flash Player Settings" box with the Allow & Deny radio buttons is never displayed, although it is from userplane. Has the format for the API call changed recently? (Hope that sounded like I know what I'm talking about! )

Have you tried the following?


"Go back to flash 10 should work

Admin x

I've seen this suggested several times, but I can't see that any guides have been posted, can you provide a link to the instructions?

Is there a preferred "subversion" of 10? Is there a way to stop the "Out of date plugin" message that I get with 10.0.12.36?

Try version 11.1.102.63 and let us know how you get on (it's a prior version to the buggy one but later than 10.x)

Admin x"

So far so good!

you could have a conflict between the 2 cams,,check which one is set to be the default one

The forum advice has always been to stop ALL other software, that has access to your cam, BEFORE entering chat.

sorry for re starting the thread,,but here is a new possible solution,got it from an article

google chrome has a built in flash player,if you have other web browsers installed that need another version of flash player,then the two might be causing a conflict to each other,and causing each to crash,,

you can solve this by typing about:plugins into the chrome search bar and press enter,this shows a list of plug ins configured to to work on chrome,if under the flash section you have 2 or more files running at the same time,it will cause conflict,click the plus sign beside each flash player to see the details ,,search down along and find the chromes appdata folder,,thats the built in one for chrome,,the others will be in the windows folders,path name depends on which version of windows you have ,,you can now disable one of them,,recommende to disable the chrome/mozilla one,,as the one downloaded to windows can be used on all browsers,,

if after disabling the add on in chrome or mozilla,,just go back and turn the add on back on,

hope this helps a few people out
