Hi.
My husband was recently sent to Iraq, and he has an ibook.
I however, have Windows.
My question is..
If I bought and sent him an iSight webcam, would I be able to view him, being that I have Windows.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

iChat, the software end of video chat using iSight, will interoperate with AOL Instant Messenger 5.5 (and conceiveably higher versions), so all you need is a web cam that will work with your Windows computer and AOL Instant Messenger.

Did that help?

(P.S., I changed your subject line to be less cryptic, because I don't have an iSight and I'm just reporting what I've looked up.)

Once I got a chance to drop the phone and actually DO the change, yes!

Note that this isn't an iBook question, nor an iSight question, it's an application question.
