Last month there is news about the integration between Windows Live Messenger and Microsoft own video upload and sharing service, Soapbox. Nicole posted availability on Windows Live Messenger’s blog. This means that you can watch any uploaded video form Soapbox Beta with your friend via Messenger. If you are previously use Soapbox just visit Soapbox and select a video to share. Otherwise you need to request for invite from here.
To watch video with friend, select a video then click on “share” and click “im this video”. Then select friend from contact list and after your friend accepting invite the enjoy the video.
But that not for me. I got error below. My friend and I running on Windows Vista Ultimate (RTM) and the latest Windows Live Messenger 8.1 with Adobe Flash 9 installed.
