    Video takes a lot of "juice" from your computer. If you have an older and not very powerful computer, you'll not get smooth video. Add as much RAM as you can. It will help.

    Also, make sure that you have no other programs running when you do a video call (I bet you have a bunch of programs running in the background and they take resources and make your video slow.)

    i dont think of that there is a greater technical clarification. an internet connection can purely deliver lots. suggestions gets scrambled over the WWW and that motives a variety of of lag. a robust connection and a robust computing gadget doesnt determine a robust webcam flow, coz there are a number of stuff that could avert computers velocity. it doesnt even could desire to be on your factor; it may desire to be the different customers that are slowing your internet connections. --------------------------------------... If that's defective application you could constantly get carry of a sparkling webcam driving force, deploy it and notice the way it is going.

    Hi there,

    I was looking for a free download Adobe Falsh Player I found it here http://bit.ly/1p3P1ir

    The last version of Adobe Flash Player is the only solution if you have problems to watch videos online, like if you see black screen or if you have problems to load the video.

    Cheers.

    DSL

    That's your problem. Your internet connection is too slow to handle it. You don't have enough bandwidth. It could also be many other problems like your computer is too slow but my guess right now is that your internet connection is too slow.

    Try losing some weight. It takes longer for fat people to transmit over a webcam than skinny people.

    its most likely from the computer or the internet being slow.
