Does any know if there is a limit as to how many webcams can be up in a video
call with messenger? I am looking to use messenger as a low end video
conferencing tool.
 
Greetings,

It's one to one, so only one.

Now if you use the "Share my Webcam" function instead, which you'll find on the webcam menu
(either using the small webcam icon in the notification area, by the display pictures or
using the Actions, View menu trigged by hitting the Alt key), you can share your webcam with
as many people as you wish -- however it's still one per window.

Additionally, Messenger has no multi-user audio capabilities, so you'll have to use Skype for
that (which doesn't have multi-user video). I know several people who combine the two apps
for this ability.
