Videoconferencing with iChat AV

When you open iChat AV, the camera indicator light turns on. Click the camera icon of

a buddy to videoconference with that iChat AV user in real-time full-motion video. Your

MacBook Pro also has a built-in microphone, so you have both voice and video support

for iChat AV videoconferences.

To use the built-in iSight to videoconference, you must have the following:
 A .Mac, America Online (AOL), or AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) account (required for

iChat AV).

 A broadband Internet connection using a DSL or cable modem, or a local area

network (LAN). A dial-up Internet connection doesn’t support this activity.

To start a videoconference:

1

Open iChat AV.
