Hi,
MSN-messenger doesn't support this.

But which messenger programmes can do this?

I know that iChat is an excellent programme, but does it connect to non-Mac users? I don't think it does?!

I would very much like to be able to have a conference using an iSight to connect to a pc-user, with live picture and sound.

I hope someone can help me, thanks.
Bstrgds, Rasmusnet

Has anyone gotten this to work?

I can see the the webcam from a Windows Yahoo user, but they can't see my webcam. (I am using a Canon camcorder instead of an iSight. iChat and iMovie both see the camcorder just fine.)

I haven't opened any special ports on the router, if that matters.

P.S. Wrong forum.

I have gotten yahoo video (but not audio) to work between my desktop and a pc laptop with a creative webcam. I have never gotten a connection between my Mac and a PC though with ichat -> AIM. From what I understand trillian for pc can connect to ichat so if anyone here has a pc and wants to try this out IM me (SN in profile).
