How to Rotate Video 90 Degrees in Windows Live Messenger

Windows Live Messenger is a free instant messaging client from Microsoft. It offers text messaging, voice calling if you have a microphone, and video calling if you have a webcam set up. The ability to rotate video 90 degrees, clockwise or counterclockwise, during a video call was added to the Windows Live Messenger client in 2006. This feature can be used during any video call.
