Does anybody knows how to block using voice clip from windows live
messenger. My daughter knows that im logging all her chating text. Her
workaround is to use the voice clip now (wise girl!). I found how to
configure my router to get the voice call and web conferencing out of use
but the voice clip is still working! Wich port number i have to block?
 
Greetings Bob,

Voice clips operate on the same connection as text, custom emoticons, and the like -- there
is no port to block.

And actually, both voice and video can use relays to get around most blocks too.

So you mean that its impossible to block voice clip without blocking the
whole use of messenger?
 
Hi,

Yep, pretty much.

Even the Live Family Safety Feature won't block specific features like this.
