Windows Live Video Messages is a Social Video Mail service for Windows Live ID users. you only need a Live ID to use it. right now it is a Windows Only service for XP and Vista. The service allows you to send, receive, forward and download personal messages from you and your friends. it is a perfect way for Family and Friends to stay communicated beyond just words, without having to be online at the same time and also a great way to save, share and manage those Personal Videos as you see fit.
The Service is built with a mix of Asp.net and Silverlight 2.0. you can use any webcam to use the service from the website in order to send and see your video messages.
LifeCam Vista Sidebar Gadget
If are on Vista, you can extend your experience to the desktop if you have a Microsoft LifeCam. that way. using the LifeCam Gadget you can use the Windows Live Video Messages service right from your desktop without going to the site. the Gadget is also a Silverlight 2.0 enhanced Vista Sidebar Gadget so it can provide you a desktop experience with the familiarity of the web version.
While it is yet unknown. this is a service that could be extended to Windows Live Messenger 9.0 in a more limited fashion to bypass the need of the LifeCam and be able to use the service from the desktop not only in Vista but in XP. right now it will remind a plus and you will need this Vista Gadget and a LifeCam to use it from your desktop. i do believe it should be added to Live Messenger but having it in a Vista Gadget as a Plus is a interesting strategy.
