How to do Video Conferencing with PC users

Does anyone know how to video conference with for example MSN messenger users? I want to video conference with my sister who only has a PC she is trying to do this via MSN messenger can it be done and how?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Try aMSN and Mercury Messenger, both of which are MSN clients that support webcam/video chat. Yahoo Messenger (the official client) also has webcam support, but of course your sister would have to download Yahoo Messenger. Finally, I've heard reports that iChat on the Mac and AIM 5.9 on the PC will allow video chats.

Video conferencing with Windows users with the new iMac.

This may be a worn out topic, but I am trying to talk to family in Canada via my new Intel iMac. My family has MSN Messenger and after attempting to use that I quickly found that it isn't compatible.
Please tell me there is some way to utilize my video conferencing capabilities to stay in contact with all my unfortunate Windows using relatives.
Please take into consideration that I am new to the Mac world. I've had this computer now for 2 weeks, though I'm learning quick.
Thanks in advance,
M

You could wait for Microsoft to update the Mac version of Messenger (haha!) but you should probably try using a third party client.
aMSN has support for video and voice using any camera that is supported by QuickTime, http://amsn.sourceforge.net/
Adium is a good general chat client. It doesn't support video or voice but it probably will one day (and it almost certainly will before the official MSN client), http://adiumx.com/

How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

Shared how? The other users can read the documents or you all can read and write the documents?
The first is easy just place the documents in /Users/Shared anyone can access the files there and the other users will be able to read them.
The second is a bit trickier.

Next time before having to pay this regular Microsoft tax, include your iTunes library with your computer's backup per the instructions included with this link.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so. With your iPad connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad.

Hi,
Do you mean Window Live Messenger or it's Mac equivalent MSN for Mac ?
Actually the app comes with Office
In the Microsoft Office X (2001 version) it was still called MSN Messenger
In Office 2008 it was called Microsoft Messenger.
The current one that can also be downloaded as a standalone app also comes with Office 2011 is also called Microsoft Messenger.
This is version 8 and this version is the only one that can Video Chat as a standalone app.
Version 7 required you were in a mixed environment (with PCs) connected to the correct sort of Windows Server.
This page may help you further.

Finally: Large window Mac-PC video conferencing with Yak

This isn't an iChat AV post, but since I've scoured this forum in the past for information on Mac-PC videoconferencing, I thought I would make a posting for other interested iChatters. My iChat AV works beautifully to my Mac-using in-laws but I have had much more trouble finding a workable videoconferencing app for my PC-using parents.
I downloaded Yak this morning (http://www.yakforfree.com/). Within about two minutes, I had signed up for a free account and installed the software on my end. It probably took 5 minutes to talk my mom through the download and setup. We connected immediately.
Although the initial window is postage-stamp size, if you click on detach window, you can resize it. I made my window half as large as my screen; my mom made hers as large as her second monitor. I was using an iSight camera and she was using a cheap USB camera. Voice quality is as good as Skype and video is pretty darn good (my expectations weren't high).
After my first experience, I would highly recommend this software to Mac users seeking to video conference with PC users.

Hi,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages
Sounds useful.
Have Bookmarked it for my Other Apps folder.
Looks like the other Skype-like features are US based.

Video Chatting with Windows Users?

Is it possible to video chat with Windows users with Leopard's iChat?
If not, are there any Mac compatible video chat programs that do work?
I don't have Windows XP or Vista to instal on BootCamp or Parallels, so please do not suggest installing a video chat app on Windows/BootCamp.
Thanks,
SsD~

Any app , for video chat with AIM users???

please recommend any app for video chat with AIM user???

Hi
The latest version of AIM (called Triton) doesn't work with iChat. Have you tried version 5.9 of the AIM application on the PC?
If that doesn't work for you, you could try Trillian, which has a better picture than AIM (The AIM video window is very small and not resizeable). The Trillian Pro version, required for video, costs $25 but you can try it free for 14 days.

Using the iChat video conferencing with a PC user

I have been trying to use the iChat AV with a PC user who is on AIM. Is this not possible? Even a one-way chat?

Unfortunately this is the only way I use iChat... I can't convince my relatives to make the apple jump. It will not work one-way, only if both sides have video. When it does work it works ok, but the windows side generally has all kinds of configuration issues (like personal firewall problems). It also isn't that great of an experience on the windows side, but that is just my opinion after using hte mac side.
There are some really good folks in the ichat forum with a LOT of great information on how to get this working correctly. But for the most part the problem is going to be on the other (pc) end. The one other person I do video chat with is a mac user in New Zealand and I am in the US - when we connect I never have a problem...
Good luck!
