The Official iSight Video Chat Thread

Well, I got my iSight yesterday and I have nobody to chat with!!!! So I thought I would start a thread of bored iSighters out there that wanna chat. I actually wanna try to get up to a 3 or 4 person chat.

AIM: bufflilbug

Post your screen name and lets get to chatting!

(If there is another thread like this, I'm sorry, I didn't see anything like it)
 
I don't have an iSight but I am curious to see (in front of my own eyes) how good the quality is in one of these chat sessions. Is there anyway we can connect if I don't have a cam?

If not, oh well, I'm just bored at work. 😀
 
My screen name is "itas0r".

I'll video chat, but just to warn you, I don't talk, lol. But if you wanna try it out, I'll connect with you and move my camera around and stuff. O_O.
 
I was gonna start a thread like this at some point. My AIM is Jackus01892. Remember - you need a dual g4, or a g5, or a core duo, to participate in multi way video chat.

No you don't -- you just need one of those to host. I have Powerboost though, so I can host.
 
I thought it was everyone - I will check. I remember being heartily pissed off when they announced it, as I had an iBook.. I'll check.

You sure? I was fairly certain. :/

EDIT: You're right.

i don't really talk though but i'd like to see how good a 4-way-chat is. I have an iMac G5 and a MacBook Pro so i can host if you like. Internet Connection is 3mbps/512kbps.
 
I might be up at some time too...it'd be fun to do a multi-way MR iChat AV. 🙂 My AIM is over there *points to the left*.

I guess I am capable of hosting, too. 🙂

I owe someone on MR an iChat already... I've just been having a rough few weeks. So to that someone, I apologize. 🙁
 
sixstorm, what a brilliant idea, i have thought about starting a similar thread before but always thought what if they think i was a weirdo 🙄

🙂

anyway, someone add me

That sucks that you gotta have such a power host lol. I added everyone on here and I'll try to catch you guys online. Hope we can get a 4 person chat going!
 
We need to arrange a time. I am fairly flexible for the next... 10 hours. I can't host however.. slowish ADSL line.
 
has anyone ever been able to use your isight on msn messenger as a webcam? i hope to buy the macbook with the built in isight...please let me know! thanks and God Bless Apple!

You have to use unofficial MSN clients, I can't remember the name of them... aMSN is one I think? But yeah, it can be done.

Yes... using aMSN it works really really well.
 
video chat

Hi, I'm around for video chat for the next little while. Someone with a more powerful machine will have to host because I'm in the kitchen with the PowerBook G4. I'm baking a cake for a friend's birthday party.

thank you so much, i was looking online and their were complaints that the isight didnt work with msn...thanks so much for the help! God Bless Apple!
 
added everyone

hi,

I added everyone who's posted their screen names. Mine is my dot-mac account, which is tvwriter (different than what's shown under my avatar to the left).

So feel free to drop me a multi-user video chat invite if you see my camera icon. I'd like to see the 3 or 4 way window on my screen. 🙂

I have used mine with Mercury, too, and been very happy. 🙂 It isn't AV chatting, though. Text + video. 🙁
