I have a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000. I use Skype to communicate with my wife. Recently, my webcam changes my video from a square, to a rectangle. How do I fix it?

Let me be clear. Before, the webcam used to have a square picture of me. Now, it changes to a panorama style picture of me and cuts off most of my torso. I have no idea why it is doing this. I don't know if Skype is at fault or the webcam and I cannot find a setting to turn it off. I have tried turning off auto focus, I tried asking my wife to turn off full screen mode on her end and nothing works. After a minute or less of talking, the camera will automatically switch from square to rectangle view of me. How do I fix it?

SOURCE: picture not clear

see if the webcam has a turnable ring around the lens, that is the manual focus

if the webcam has auto-focus, this may be controlled by the software that came with the camera - check here, the auto-focus function may have been disabled

SOURCE: Green Screen on my webcam while using the video call on Skype

See section A. Skype in the info below to setup the Audio & Video.
Also send this to your family and friends so they have their computer setup properly.
Web Camera's have to be setup on the program they are to be used with. Just installing the camera on your computer does not set it up to broadcast on messengers or Skype.
Each program has Options that have to be setup in order for the Audio and Video to function properly.
A. Skype Setup:
After downloading and installing Skype (http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/windows/beta/downloading/ )
set it up as follows:
Go to Tools, then Options, and click on Audio Settings and set the Microphone and Speakers to the computer Audio Card.
Then click on the Video Settings.
The camera, if Installed Properly, it will come up and show a video picture.
Then, on the bottom of the page click save.
The camera and audio should function properly. Your friends and Family will now be able to see and hear you.
B. Yahoo Setup:
After downloading and installing Yahoo Messenger (http://www.soft32.com/download_30.HTML )
set it up as follows:
Go to Messenger at the top left and click on it.
Next go down to Preferences and click on it.
Next Calling and Devices on the right and set the Microphone and Speakers to the computer Audio Card.
Next go to the Test Audio section and (in blue writing) click on "Open the call setup assistant" and follow the instructions on the left window.
C. Windows Live Messenger:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=d78f2ff1-79ea-4066-8ba0-ddbed94864fc&displaylang=en
After you start Windows Live Messenger, expand the view by clicking on the square on top left next to the red X.
Then on the Windows Live messenger window on the right side, click on " "Show Menus." And then click on "Show the Menu Bar".
Next go to the Menu Bar on right side, click on " "Action."
Go to "TOOLS" and click "Audio and Video Setting" and follow the instructions.
NOTE: Your audio and video should work. Enjoy.
When done both the Audio and Video will function properly so you can chat and see family or friends you are connected to.
D. AIM (AOL) Messenger:
http://dashboard.aim.com/aim
On the VIM sign-in window, click on Edit.
Then click on Settings Enhanced IM.
Next click on Enhanced IM.
Then click on Audio Video.
The Audio and Video portion has drop downs so you can select the proper audio card and video camera installed in you computer.
The Audi Video drop downs are
Microphone
Speaker
Camera
The audio and camera should function now.
Additional information to use with VIM settings.
Adjust Your Audio and Video Settings:
In order to adjust your audio and video settings, please follow the steps given below:
1. Click the Audio and Video Settings button directly below the My Buddy or My Camera window. If you are currently
Participating in an AOL Live Video IM session, a message will display: You must disconnect the current AOL Live Video IM
conversation before running setup. Would you like to disconnect now? Click the Yes button.
2. The Audio and Video Tuning Wizard will appear to help you verify that your camera, speakers and microphone are working
Properly. Follow the on-screen prompts.
Notes:
The first time you use AOL Live Video IM, a message will display: Would you like to first check your audio and video settings? Click the Yes button.
The Audio and Video Tuning Wizard will appear to help you verify that your camera, speakers and microphone are working properly.
Follow the on-screen prompts.
images in AOL Live Video IM may appear reversed, or as a mirror image (text may appear backwards) when you look at your own camera feed or at the
Picture-in-picture (PIP) display.
After making the settings your ready for a chat and video talk with your Family and Friends. Hope this helps. Bud

Making camera work with Yahoo Instant Messenger

Windows Media Encoder enables the ability for you to "LIVE" broadcast using your webcam utilising Windows Media Encoder 9 and your participant viewers watching you using Windows Media Player at the recieving end. So in other words, you are effectively setting up "your own" live streaming broadcasts either video, audio(such as internet radio) or both from your PC without using the likes of Skype, Yahoo, IM etc.

I got my mom and I the same logitech webcam pro 9000, today when she plugged it in the mic worked, but the video did not. And there was no red light around the logitech, any suggestions?

You may need to manually select the webcam in your video settings in your service. In Skype it is under Settings, Camera. In MSN click Tools, Audio & Video set up, Next. In mailVU click on the camera icon and then pick the Logitech from the drop down list.

How to use camera function on pro9000 logitech cam

Congrats on getting the 9000 - it is one of the best webcams on the market. To use it simply launch a video chat program like Skype, MSN, or Yahoo. You can also use a program on your computer to take webcam pics and record webcam videos. I downloaded the free version of Debut on my laptop for pics and videos. The article Answers to Your Webcam Questions has a lot of tips and links to free programs like Debut you can download and use with your webcam.

It is possible your webcam is either disabled or the driver is corrupted. Try reloading the webcam software driver, reboot, and then try the free webcam test tool to check if it is working properly.

Not getting audio

Logitech states its 9000 hardware & software is Windows only
Doesnt mean it definitely is, but there may be bugs. try a separate microphone.
