Step 2: Click on Remote control (third option from the top) and check the 'Play computer sounds and music' option under the Remote control defaults section.

These apps will help you keep your mic and camera private, and make sure they're only turned on when you're ready to share. Hide Your Camera Mark Zuckerberg made the news in early 2016 when he shared a picture of his laptop in Facebook's offices—and there was a piece of electrical tape covering his laptop's webcam. That's one way to make sure prying eyes can't see through your computer. You could do that—or check Amazon or eBay for a webcam cover for a surprising variety of little plastic covers that can cover your computer's camera until you need it. Or, if you tend to work with an external monitor that doesn't have its own camera, just close your laptop to work in private. Goes a bit further.

This will change the user-agent to something that will be compatible with the Facebook video calling service.

Whispering A GM can whisper directly to a single player in the game when Voice is active in a call. When the GM hovers their mouse over a player’s Avatar, a dark grey double chat bubble icon ( q ) appears on the upper right hand corner of the player's portrait. This icon is the Whisper Player button. Click on this button to toggle on whisper mode. While the GM is whispering, other players who aren't in on the whisper will have their avatars grayed out to the GM and the Player being whispered to and will no longer be able to hear audio from those other players.

Facebook has fleshed out the Windows 10 version of its standalone Messenger app with voice and video calling. I’ve been waiting for this for months — to be exact, I’ve been waiting ever since, when Facebook launched Messenger for Windows 10. A Facebook spokesperson confirmed that the company started rolling out the feature last week. Just like on Messenger for Android and iOS, the phone icon in the top right corner of the screen in the Windows 10 app during a chat glows green when the other person is currently active, so you know you can reach them immediately. When you start a call, the app informs you that “calls use Wi-Fi or your data plan.” That’s odd, because generally your Windows 10 PC doesn’t have a data plan. Your phone does. Nevertheless, this is a welcome addition to a typically very stable native Windows app.

What do you think? Thanks again people. I would imagine that becasue this is relatively 'new', it still has a few 'glitches'.this is not unusual in freshly rolled out software contained in social networking sites. I assume you have checked your mic setting in control panel etc to be sure it is set as the default.

Jen CoffinJerry Warner - I'm not seeing this when I go to 'write post' or 'status'. Has FB changed this since your post? I'd love to turn this off due to it showing me ads based off of my conversations. Also, I was using messenger the other day and FB was reading my conversation obviously due to the ads that played immediately following the end of that conversation. Since that's not actually using the microphone, can that be turned off? By the way, when I go in my settings to privacy, FB is not listed under microphone.

In the Video + Audio Chat Options section are drop down menus for Audio Output Source (your chosen speaker device), Audio Input Source (your chosen microphone device), and Video Input Source (your chosen webcam device). Your input source menus are available regardless whether a WebRTC call is active or not. Audio Output Source's device menu, on the other hand, will only populate while a call is active.

You can also click and drag the video around the screen. For better or worse, the video takes place in a separate window. It stays in front of any other windows you try to open, unless the video is minimized. This can make multi-tasking, especially with a single monitor, relatively tedious.
