Windows 10: How to open multiple video chat rooms with one webcam windows 10

Hi guys. I was wondering how to open multiple video chat rooms windows with one webcam on a windows 10 laptop. I have a windows 7 pro desk top which will lets me open as many as five windows in a chat room before it freezes on some windows. The permission pops up and i agree 4 times and off to the races! The window 10 system will only open one window, the new permission cam/mic box opens up but says the cam/mic are used up and the lap top is in the other room where I want to stream. I did change my referres on the 7 pro to 1 a while back, so i don't know if that's it or not. Any help would be appreciated

Chat room?

Another site I was moderator of has a Java chat room where members can just join and chat. I was wondering why we don't have something like that here? My other site has about 220,000 members, I don't see why this site can't have one. It would be really helpful to a lot of members who can get help in real time. I know people respond to threads here nearly instantly sometimes, but its still nice to be connected with a chat room filled with people discussing a variety of things. I have to imagine this has been suggested before, so I assume it was thought about and denied already in the past...but I wonder why? It seems like such a great idea, and this is the right kind of site to make good use of a chat room.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Removing the "rooms" feature

The alternative way to get to the content, is to use the apps already on your phone:

• Photos – You'll find your photos and videos in the OneDrive app in a folder with same name as the room.
  
• Calendar – Go to the Calendar app to see your room calendar.
• Notes – Your room notes are in the OneNote app, in a notebook with the same name as the room.

In the post above, Julie suggests an alternative to the group chat via the Skype app.

Hope that helps,
