Post your ichat address!

[jethroted]

Let's try out this video chat stuff. Post you address (if you are comfortable with that), and we'll see how it works!

jethroted@mac.com

[applemacdude]

Well it's not an ichat adress but its an aim address: accrcboy:)

[jethroted]

OK, I can't seem to connect to you. Anyone know how to work this app?

[G4scott]

I don't really care if anybody tries to communicate with me (I don't know how else to say it), but my AIM address is in my profile...

[iJon]

well ive played with it all day and its been fun. i havent done it as much because i dont have a mic on my powermac and i dont feel like hooking up my camcorder. ive been doing it all on my powerbook, but i dont use my powerbook when im home. ill do it more when my isight comes in later this week so i can play on the powermac.

markomarko@nspammac.com..

Camera is connected and running well.

[icetraxxg5]

my AIM screen name is icetraxx

It would be cool to have some more machead buddies on AIM... All I have is audio chat right now... but the new iChat audio chat is amazing! GREAT JOB APPLE! (works as well as a phone). :D (I have cable; don't have a Firewire Vid Cam so no video)

Chris :cool:

hey icetraxxG5,

are you only on audio because you connect via dial up? I'm wondering becasue all I have right now is a 56K dial-up (come on DSL in my area....). If so, how good is the sound quality....?

Your family owns a store that sells macs, right? Here's what you can do... Setup iSight's on all of the display computers, and put instructions on how they can talk to each other, or talk to an employee at the desk live... It would be really cool, IMHO..

[Kwyjibo]

that would be awesome but ..... it would be expensive and people open and close apps all the time dont' they/

royal pineapple, aim and audio, no video :( yet ;)

[chewbaccapits]

Finally, well, maybe, we can try to see VNOIW....If only see would chat with me..hmmm?

[scem0]

I would post, but I already have int he past and I think it would cause more bad than good. I usually have AIM on, but I'm rarely at the computer. I just have it on the setting where all IM's get forwarded to my cell phone and I can't respond.

BTW - vniow, A friend of yours sent me a couple of messages that went kind of like this:

them: hello??!?

(I couldn't respond, i was in class on my cell phone)

them: is this vniow?

them: oh no, sorry.

them: I am using up your cell phone messages aren't I?

them: caching

them: caching

them: caching

hehe, I got a kick out of reading that in class. I forgot his/her name, sorry.

[evoluzione]

i have a webcam already, but if they have them in Apple SoHo today I'll buy one, they didn't have any yesterday, and if i get the same girl on the checkout, maybe i'll buy her one too, she fiiine :eek: ;) :D

[DreaminDirector]

I should be getting an iSight today.

I have Cable and the audio is pretty good quality... It hiccups sometimes and that gets annoying.

[filmcutter]

mine's in my profile.

Since I don't have any friends...I mean since I don't have any friends that chat, this will be a nice way to actually use this.

I'm on cable, no vid, audio only - assuming it works

[King Cobra]

No video, nothing faster than dial-up...

Don't care for the iChat AV audio portion. I'll use a phone instead.

AIM username: don't message me. (That's not the real one. Profile...)

[janey]

aim: aaplgoddess :p
only audio chats...video takes up a wicked amount of bandwidth :p plus most of my friends don't have cameras so...

[johnsaulrubio]

AIM: johnsaulrubio

A/V Enabled

[Stike]

We had such a thread once as the original iChat came out :p

My AIM is: stikeMK2

Audio and Video, yay!

[iAlan]

not sure when iSight will be in japan...will get one when released - I guess I could try my Sony DV, but if it works i may not be motivated to get an iSight!!

have audio though...

a.thomas@mac.com

[Groovsonic]

Well, my IM is SuperMegaGroov. Anyone is welcome to IM anytime I am on. I have video and audio. I will admit that video/audio chat is akward with people I don't know is a bit akward. The conversation usually amounts to:
Me: Hello. Them:Hello. Me: This is pretty cool. Them: Yep. Me:Yep. Them:Yep. Me: Okay then... Them: Okay.. Bye.

I did have a question...Every time I do a 1way video chat (me on camera, them not), I get comments like "Wow! That sure is good quality picture". When I do 2way video chat, it dosent look all that good to me. Kinda choppy and blurry. IS this a bandwidth issue, or am i just too picky?

[chibianh]

AIM name > chibianh

video and audio :)

[bbarnhart]

Mine is in the profile. I'm going to try and bring home the microphone from work tomorrow so I can try it on my Mac. I'll probably be bugging a few people here that I don't know. I don't personally know anyone with a Mac who has iChat installed.

So, you you're also wanting to try it out too, try me on iChat.
