Hey
I've just switched to Mac and love it but when i used windows on messenger you could see peoples webcams and vice versa and the same on skype. is this possible on Mac? Because i can't seem to find how to do it.
Thanks
Okay I'm assuming you've downloaded the Microsoft MSN messenger for Mac. Delete it immediately, it's possibly one of the worst pieces of software ever written.
You have two choices with webcam in MSN, neither of which are the greatest MSN clients, but they do work.
aMSN is simpler with fewer features, and is relatively easy to use. It's generally quite slooow though.
Mercury Messenger is far more feature laden, it's got basically everything in it, including real time translation. However I find it confusing to use.
The best MSN client by far though, is
Adium. There is no webcam support, but it's the most common messenger on Mac. When I want to do webcam over MSN, I just switch over to aMSN.
You should also look at getting an AIM account, which you can use with iChat. The webcamming in iChat will blow you away...
