Hi Erik,

Sorry for being in late.

Your problem is that on windows 8.1 you do not see the video of the 
other party.

Your problem could be the same as in the previous message.  I think you 
do not see your camera images when you show the Call window (without 
calling someone), right?  If affirmative, then, again, the only advice I 
have is look at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626515#c44 
(comment 44) to see if it helps.

(Glad to see that Ekiga has been very useful to you, thank you!)
