Tips and Troubleshooting
If iSight Isn’t Working With a Video Application
•
You can use iSight with video applications other than iChat AV, such as iMovie and
QuickTime Broadcaster. If you don’t already have iChat AV, you must download and
install it to enable iSight for use with other applications. Go to www.apple.com/ichat
to get iChat AV.
If the Video Looks Choppy
•
iChat AV detects your Internet connection speed and optimizes video for best
performance. If the video looks choppy, you or the person you are chatting with may
need to set the bandwidth limit to a lower level. In iChat AV, choose iChat >
Preferences and click Video. Then choose a setting from the Bandwidth Limit menu.
If Others Can’t Hear You
•
iSight may not be set as your microphone. In iChat, choose iChat > Preferences and
click Video. Then choose iSight Built-in from the Microphone pop-up menu.
If You Hear Echoes or Loud Sounds
•
Your speakers may be too close to the microphone. Change the angle of the speakers
or move them away from the microphone and turn down the computer’s volume.
