Got a question for all the apple mac users...

What program do you use to make use of the inbuilt video camera?

The iChat program only uses .mac or AIM instant messenger programs.

Is there a way to make it work with MSN?

Or at least a program that uses my msn contacts.


Cheers in advance folks... :yes:

depends what version of iChat you've got, but if it's recent (Tiger), then use the Jabber setting to set up MSN or gmail etc etc I use it for gmail at the mo, msn works alright for now, just no cam support, but i don't have a cam anyway. Skype works well

Disclaimer - - - Not a Mac user.

However, Trillian works on both mac and windows (Java App) and has camera support.

Give it a whirl, it supports all major chat vendors and allows simultaneous log on to vendors that normally only allow one.
Lighter than live but limited in emoticon use (no animated ones).
