Windows Live Messenger's album viewer is based on Windows Live Photo Gallery and provides users a photo viewing experience for photo albums shared via Windows Live Skydrive and Facebook. The album viewer is interactive and supports full screen and slideshow modes, as well as viewing and uploading comments on Facebook and Windows Live SkyDrive albums. It also supports people tagging for Windows Live SkyDrive. The album viewer closely resembles the Microsoft Silverlight counterpart for web photo albums present on Windows Live Photos.
