Wannes Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hey Is there a way to have a video chat on mac with msn accounts? The other person has a Windows PC, I have a Macbook but we both want to do a video chat. Only video image is enough. Adium has this plugin allowing me to send my video to a webpage but that's not exactly what I seek. If I use the Jabber msn gateway on iChat I still can't do a video chat. Anyone advise?

Horrocks Veteran Posted January 6, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 6, 2008 Currently the video plugin for Adium is the best way to achieve this. The Microsoft MSN client has no video capabilities in it at all. You could always use Skype as an alternative, but that does not work with MSN accounts.

Wannes Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Allright thank you. I thought there could be another possible way. Let's say the person on the other side gets a Jabber account and uses a Windows based Jabber account. Can I then use iChat for video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannes Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Like jet said, adium's plugin is the only way to do video chat with msn accounts on macs :(-Rich- Now lets drop the MSN and use Jabber. Will I then be able to video chat using iChat? (The other person has Jabber as well of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
