Can I use iChat AV as webcam?

Is it possible to auto accept incoming video chats? I have rented a house in the desert for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts festival (www.coachella.com) and I would like for my friends who can't make it to be able to peek in on the house. I would set up my iSight near the pool and people could then video chat me and take a look if I can get it to auto accept incoming video chats. I really don't want to be tied to the computer answering people who are trying to look in.
Or am I going about this bass ackwards and do you have a better idea that works for my little problem?
Thanks for your time!

  • Can i use ichat between two separate macs on the same mobile me account?

    Can i use ichat over two separate macs on the same mobile me account?
    I have an imac at home and may be getting a macbook for work. Can i use my mobile me account to chat between the two macs or would i need a mobile me account per mac??

    Hi,
    No.
    You need two names that can login into AIM.
    In iChat you can use the Get an iChat Account which shows after you use the Plus Button in Accounts.
    This will give you a free @mac.com Name
    AIM Names are also free.

  • HT2020 How can I use ichat or face time for video conference to window computer?

    How can I use Ichat or factime to video conference remote famiy members who have windows computers?

    HI,
    You can use iChat to Video to PCs that are using the AIM for PC app or have the Trillian App with the Pro Add-on (which costs).
    As you list OS 10.7.4 you may find you can find a copy of the Messages Beta  (technically it was withdrawn before the release date for Mountain Lion that has the Full version)
    Although this Users Tip was written a while ago it may also pay to read it

  • Can you use ichat to talk to friends on facebook?

    i guess my subject says it all, but anyway: can i use ichat to talk to friends who are online on facebook? i would like to be able to not have to be on facebook to talk to friends. thanks!
    also--> would this involve having to download certain software? or is it possible to do it without extra stuff?
    thanks again

    The option has been given to developers by facebook to make it work through jabber. However, as of yet nothing has materialised. Keep your eyes open for it... this may be the year!

    How can I use ichat on my Macbook Pro to send messages to my iPod 5 ?

    If ipod 5 means ipod touch or iphone 5, simply create a AIM account and download the AIM iphone app. iChat and iMessage aren't compatible.

  • How can i use a second external webcam on my MacBook Air 11

    How can I use a second external webcam with my MacBook Air 11" 2011?
    Are there specific compatible webcams?
    Can both cams be use at same time?
    How would I choose which cam would be the active one, for example with FaceTime or Skype?
    Thanks for any tips.

    Plug it in and launch the app you will use to run it.
    paolo@spring wrote: ...Are there specific compatible webcams?...
    Yes.  In general, any current USB model (will meet the "UVC" standard) can work on any Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.8 or newer.
    More specifically:
    (1) You have a choice of many Mac-compatible USB cam.  Some examples of current compatible cams are described at  http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/.
    (2) If you want a wireless cam, consider http://ecamm.com/mac/webcam/bt1/
    (3) OS X already has everything it needs for Mac-compatible cams.  I recommend that you not add any OS X software that comes with your chosen camera to your OS X Mac, at least until you have tested your new cam without adding anything.
    paolo@spring wrote:... Can both cams be use at same time?...
    Multiple cameras can be connected at one time, but asking your Mac to actually use (capture and process) more than one video stream at a time might cause processor and data bus capacity problems.  The normal method is to connect your cameras and switch between them as needed, actually using only one at a time.
    paolo@spring wrote:... How would I choose which cam would be the active one, for example with FaceTime or Skype?...
    The software you use to operate the cameras controls that.  For more info, start with the answer in this topic link.

  • Can I use iChat to chat with people on other platforms, e.g. yahoo etc?

    Dear all
    Can I use iChat to chat to people on other platforms e.g. yahoo, aol, gmail, jabber etc? For example, I have just managed to sign into iChat with Gmail (had to resort to this because iChat won't let me log-on with my Mobile Me name), but now it seems iChat will only let me add other Gmail users?  Surely there is a way to log in with Gmail but chat with people on other platforms?
    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Hi,
    Since iChat 4 you have been able to log in to as many AIM or Jabber IDs as you have set up.
    In Lion (iChat 6) they become a combined Buddy list.

  • How can I use iChat for Hotmail?

    I would like to use iChat with hotmail... is it possible? ANy other method thatn Jabber?

    Hi,
    The only method at the moment to Contact MSN Buddies is using the Jabber Method and a Jabber Transport.
    MSN for Mac version 8 can be downloaded as a free Standalone from Mactopia (the Microsoft Mac Pages) and can do Video chats.

  • Can I use iChat to chat with someone using gmail's chat utility?

    ...and how?
    Thanks.

    As a first choice iChat suggests you use a AIM or @mac.com name.
    SInce iChat 3 though you have been able to use Jabber IDs as well and GoogleTalk is a Jabber server.
    If you have a GoogleMail ID then you can set up iChat too use that and Text chat to your GoogleTalk able Buddies.
    The link Niel posted shows you how to do it in iChat 3 but it is the same in iChat 4 except that you have a Jabber/GoogleTalk split like you have an AIM/@mac.com one when Adding new accounts types.

  • Can I use iChat for Skype, Yahoo messenger or other mail services?

    Most of my friends do not have Macs, and therefore I need to use other options such as Skype, although I have found out that Skype does not recognize macs. Are there any other mail services that can be used with iChat?

    Not sure what you mean...I use Skype for Mac with no problem for voice calls computer to computer with Macs and PC's, and they've had no problems linking to me. The link to the latest version is:

    There's now even a Skype widget...
