Hi,

Got a white macbook with a nice screen mounted camera. I thought that iChat was going to connect to MSN Messenger but does not appear to. I have found a Mac Messenger, but that does not use the camera unless you have a corporate account (whatever that is!).

Is there something pretty simple, that connects to MSN and is able to use the camera?

Grateful for advice.

Chris

Seems to work, but says that Mac OSX does not support video/audio. I'll keep looking, but thanks.

I have tried Yuuguu. It's a great program and it also offers screen sharing.
I don't like MSN Messenger for Mac. It's terrible.
