Messenger 

Get Messenger, or all these programs—they’re free!

Clicking "Download" means you agree to the Microsoft service agreement and privacy statement.
If your installation doesn’t start right away, check the system requirements, or click Try again.
Trying again downloads a standalone installer to your computer. This takes a little while, but may work better, depending on your connection settings.

Get Messenger and stay in touch

Windows Live Messenger makes it easier than ever to stay connected to the people you care about.

Favorites and groups

Put the people you chat with most at the top of your contacts, so you easily see when they’re online. Want to chat with several people in one window? Just set up a group.

Customize

Show off your personal style with custom scenes, animated display pictures, and signature sounds.

Share photos

Look at photos together, right in the conversation window. And Messenger tells you when people you know post new photos on Windows Live.

Mobile and web

Using a public computer without Messenger? No problem! You can chat on the web from Windows Live Hotmail. Or, use Messenger on your mobile phone.
Depending on your security settings, you might see one or more of these messages.
  1. If you see a message asking if you want to Run or Save, click Run.
  2. If you see a message asking if you want to Run or Save, click Run.
  3. If you see a message asking if you want to Cancel or Allow, click Allow.
  4. Once the installation is done, you’ll find your new programs in the Windows Live folder on your Windows Start menu.
