The Tools->Video->Receive option is a pause/play toggle on incoming video and is only active when in a call and the other end is apparently able to send video. It may be a sign of a problem in a call if it is not available in a call but is not the cause. There are a number of reasons why video is not received in a call despite both ends being set to automatically send and receive video on connection. Do you receive audio? If you receive neither audio or video is it possible you are behind a NAT router or firewall or have a local software firewall that is not configured for NetMeeting.( the SP firewall needs NetMeeting be classed as an exception). A "secure" call would force data only and no audio or video would move either way. In XP there is an additional problem with the QoS Packet Scheduler that causes lack of audio/video outgoing transmission (http://radio.weblogs.com/0127028/2004/10/18.html has information on disabling the QoS Packet Scheduler -- the recommended strategy if you are experiencing this problem). If you had this problem at your end (the XP end) and were behind a NAT(or a misconfigured software firewall) you would get no audio/video either way. Use of the dmz feature of your router should solve the incoming problem ( if that is your problem). You should make sure you have a functioning software firewall if you use the dmz. Yahoo!
