I've been trying to set up talk and video chat sessions with my powerbook (using a Sony camcorder) running iChat and my sister's laptop running AIM 1.0.4 (no webcam connected).
I've found the following:
- When I invite her to a one-way video chat and accept on her end, the preview window on my PB displays live video and says "Waiting for Response" for a couple minutes before timing out. The video tab on her AIM displays a black panel.
- When I invite myself to an audio talk session from her computer, AIM makes a ringing tone and says "Waiting for Buddy Confirmation" but I never receive any invitation on iChat.
- When I invite her to chat from iChat, no invitation appears on AIM.
Am I doing anything wrong or can I tweak the settings somehow? This seems lousy! Are there other ways to video chat if this doesn't work?
