    I recently got this new job where I have to video chat with clients living in China. The company wants me to use the Chinese QQ chat client; however, for macs, you can't video chat. Does anybody know of a chat client I can use on the mac (windows messenger?) that will let me video chat with somebody using QQ? I'm afraid if I don't solve this problem, I'll be out of a job.

    Note: I do not have windows installed on this computer, nor do I really want to splurge the money to get it since this is a low-paying job.

    You are out of luck on the video chat. QQ will not allow it. I bet is has something to do spyware/adware and the such that Mac filters out, meaning no income for QQ.

    I'd love to know this too.
    I refuse to install the native QQ client on any of my mac/Linux/Windows systems

    video chat on mac

    QQ is like AOL on steroids, but geared only for the Chinese speaking world. It is only now developing support on the Mac. The beta 1 version for Mac does not have video chat implemented. I don't think beta 2 works either. So you are out of luck unless you run windows on your Mac

    but

    There is an excellent free Skype client. It will support free video chat.

    or

    If they can run the free AOL video chat, it is compatible with iChat on your Mac.
