That's possible I guess, or when it shows that there are 20+ million
users on-line that could be the cause also. Though they're all using
windows and have no problems seeing each other and they can see me just
fine, and I can see my brother and sister just not my mom. Though when I
downgraded to the previous beta I was able to see her video though it
was really grainy though clear with the other two. Could be her
connection speed is slow since she's on a fixed income and also she's
using a cable modem which could be cause for congestion.
