How to Voice Chat on Google Talk with IChat

I am a new mac user, started using just yesterday. I need some help to configure my IChat for Google talk. I managed to configure ichat to do normal text chat thru the settings in google's website. but i am unable to do voice chat. i need help coz google talk is one application that i use extensively..

Gizmo (http://www.gizmoproject.com) allows you to by using a proxy to convert SIP to Jingle. It also does the same thing for Yahoo! Messenger and Windows Live/MSN Messenger users. I've no idea how well it works though.
We'll have to wait until Leopard's released before we know whether Apple has added Jingle support to iChat. If they have you'll be able to do audio (and possibly video) with Gtalk users natively. I wouldn't count on Apple doing this though.

  • Would like to integrate Google talk with SAP EP

    Hi,

    Thanks in advance

    Hello:
    What do you need it for? I mean, what would be the difference of having Google talk installed as usual on the client?
    I don't know a lot about Google talk, can you get the code? is it on C, C++, Java?
    Regards

  • I am unable to do video chat using Gtalk either with ichat as well as Safari Browser any idea.

    I am unable to do video chat using Gtalk either with ichat or Browser. i tryed to use Firefox with Viedo chat plugin but this also doesn't help. My Voice and Picture is going but i am unable to receive. I am using Mac OS X10.7 Lion.

    IE uses an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActiveX ActiveX] control to handle Flash objects.<br />
    Firefox uses a different [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI NPAPI] plugin.<br />
    <br />
    Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />

  • Google Talk and iChat Simultaneously

    I want to use Google Talk without losing my iChat A/V, ie; Jabber List plus Buddy List. I setup Google Talk in iChat via Jabber, and tried to run it beside my iChat account, but got locked out of AIM because I was 'overusing the server'. I had to deactivate the GT Account (Jabber) to regain my iChat account. Is it not possible to have both? Or is there another solution for VOiP with the Windows world?

    Hi Joe,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions
    Not quite sure what you mean here.
    iChat has three Buddy Lists.
    The AIM (Main "Buddy List")
    The Bonjour one (if you have other Macs)
    The Jabber one. (includes GoogleTalk as you say)
    The AIM and the Jabber ones require that you log in to different servers.
    The only problem I can envisage is if you have set the Jabber account up with using a Transport back to your AIM name.
    Having said that you are in Abu Dhabi and this may be what the local ISP is saying about your usage.
    The Middle Eastern ISPs have issues all of their own normally centered around "Security"

  • How do i use my apple id with ichat?

    how do i use my apple id with ichat?

    Hi,
    Only @Mac.com and MobileMe Apple IDs are valid AIM names as well  (And the Passwords need to be 16 characters of Less - AIM end Issue).
    If you have any other form of Apple ID then you will need to register for either an @mac.com name  or create an AIM one.
    NOTE The @Mac.com Registration requires you link an active Email to the @Mac.com name.
    THIS CANNOT BE an Email address you have used for an Apple ID already.
    The AIM Registration asks for Email address for Security and Password Recovery and is not Hard Linked in the same way (you could use the same email to set up multiple accounts/Screen Names)
    To state things another way:-
    A MobileMe ID is an Email address.
    It is an Apple ID and will work in those places it is supposed to, iTunes, Apple Support Communities (with Alias set up), Face Time (With Registration) Apple On-Line Store, Mac App Store.
    It is a Vlaid AIM NAme as well (If the password is kept to 16 characters or less).
    @mac.com names are Apple IDs with the same access as above.
    It is a Valid AIM Screen Name.
    If it was registered before MobileMe started it maybe linked to a Current MobileMe account as a valid Email.
    A Current Registration is purposely for iChat use and Requires a Non Apple current Email that is NOT linked to any other Apple ID
    Any other name or Email used to create an Apple ID is not an Email with/through Apple.
    It is NOT a valid AIM screen Name.
    It is only an Apple ID that allows access to the places listed above.
    If it is an email this cannot be used to Register with @mac.com
    I hope this is clear.

    Glossary for this FAQ
    Routers: Any configurable device that sits between your computer and the internet link you have. This includes Modems that Route as well as "routers"
    Routers seem to fall into two categories
    Those that work straight from the box. See Apple Article HT1787
    NOTE :This Article has not been updated in content since Jan 04 Only being changed to an Article from the Previous Doc listing
    Even then some list that they need tweaks.
    and those that do not.
    This post will deal with what you may need to look at.
    First off make sure your device is acting as a DHCP server. (if you are already on the internet you may not have to bother with this.)
    Check in the Tiger System Preferences > Network Preference Pane, in the "Built in Ethernet" option from the "Show" drop down list.
    In Leopard the Networks are listed on the left with icons. The Airport Option will need you to access the Advance Button for the Next bit.
    Make sure the TCP/IP tab is the 'front' one. You should be able to see Configure IPv4 and it most likely reads Using DCHP. Make a note of your IP address. It will start 10.xxx.xxx.xxx or 192.168.xxx.xxx (the 'x' s will stand for any number between 1 and 255). The range 172.16.xxx.xxx is also a possible value at this point. Rarely used, but it is part of the RFC for Address Allocation for Private Internets.
    Your router is most likely to be configurable from your browser. You will need to find the IP address to type into the browser from any Readme or PDF files that came on the install disk or visit the makers website and download a manual.
    The Port Forward.com site lists many devices and clicking on one will take you to a list of Applications. This iChat will open an page that will start by telling you the defaults to access the device
    Opening or Allowing ports. Several Methods not all devices have all of them.
    DMZ (Demilitarised Zone)
    This is a less secure setting that basically opens all ports and points the incoming data to your computer. (not helpful if you have more than one computer on your LAN). It can be considered as an extreme form of Port Forwarding
    Port Forwarding (also Virtual Server or Pin Holes)
    These settings are usually found in an Advanced setting.
    You may need to set an incoming IP address (Usually 0.0.0.0 to any outside server), a port that data will arrive on, the Inside computer's IP address (your computer) and the port it will deal with the data on and the protocol it will use.
    See this pic for an example of the description above.
    In this example shows that on some Port AND Protocols need to be listed.
    iChat uses TCP and UDP so some devices will need the ports listed one by one and some settings done twice, once for each protocol. The example above has a "Both" setting
    See Apple Article HT1507 Previously Doc 93208 for more information. This is the Tiger iChat 3 list. The same ports are needed for Leopard except for these changes
    My Note 2:
    On the first link Note 1 under tables in that link would be better if it read:
    " 1. All iChat AV traffic is UDP -
    except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP as well;
    and 5220, 5222, which need to be open for TCP only. "
    Note 2
    GoggleTalk needs port 5223 on TCP. Also note the Server name for iChat 3 set ups
    UPnP Universal Plug n Play.
    This is a simple Plug and Play type of setting. iChat can find it's own way through a router if the device has this capability.
    By Not doing Port Forwarding, Triggering or DMZ and enabling UPnP the application is allowed to control the modem and the ports that are open.
    They close after the application has finished with them on a timed basis.
    On some devices the number of "hops" (how far away the UPnP can be "seen") can be reduced from a default of 4)
    Trigger Ports
    Some devices offer a security measure that works by a first or trigger port receiving a data packet and then opening further ports when accepted.
    The first port for incoming Video or Audio invites is port 5678.
    Pre iChat 4
    When you click on the invite window the process moves in to port 5060 (so these will need to be opened by the trigger port) for negotiating the final group of ports from the group of 20 (16384-16403 These will need to open when the trigger says so as well). Therefore port 5678 triggers ports 5678, 5060, 16384-16403. All on UDP. Port 5190 neeeds to trigger port 5190 for both TCP and UDP.
    See this variation where only the ports listed above are completed.
    The other single ports need to be set one by one in addition. (5220,5222, 5223 5297, 5298, 5353)Replace
    iChat 4
    The port used in IChat 4 is port 16402 instead of port 5060. The group of 20 ports is reduced to 10 (16393-16402). This is because all the In and Out Audio and Video data is on one port. Other that than the settings are the same.
    At this time there is no Info on the ports the Screen Sharing in iChat 4 uses.
    Wireless
    Here you will have to read around but this Apple Article TA25949 Previously Doc 58514 might be a good starting place.
    Essentially whether you are wireless or Ethernet to your routing device makes very little difference to the way you do things.
    Your computer will get two IPs from a DHCP server if you are connected by both methods. (iChat does not like this)
    Multiple devices
    Make sure only one is acting as a DHCP server. Make sure wireless devices are bridged properly.

  • Any idea how to voice chat with yahoo users ?

    Hi,
    I need to voice chat with my brother. He uses yahoo messenger and he refuses to use skype for some reason
    I have tried :
    1. Gyache : I did not manage to install it. Moreover, some people on the forums are saying it supports voice chat rooms not voice call.
    2. Skype : My brother won't use this.
    3. Ekiga tweak to call yahoo : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=414121
    This is not ok too.
    I need something which will let me voice chat with my brother . And it is also required that my brother need not do anything ( like accepting buddy for the ekiga case ).
    4. Empathy : Wha. How to install it properly ?
    5. Kopete : Are you sure it has voice chat ? I did not find anywhere that kopete supports voice chat.
    6. Meebo : I clicked audio call after logging in. But the page keeps saying pudding media is loading. It actually never loads.
    Please help. This is the only thing i am missing in linux and only reason i still have to use windows     :(:(:(:(
    I am using OSS 4.1 and opera web browser and flash version is 9.

    Hi Furi0us.Bee,
    As has been said AIM 5.9
    There is also Trillian that works for Audio only in it's Basic version and does Video for it's $25 Pro version.
    Moving away from the AIM based service there are other options.

  • Problems using Google Talk with Messages

    Hello everybody. I have configured my Google Talk account in Messages; everything was working fine, but I came across an annoying issue.
    A friend of mine has Google Talk too: he uses Windows with Google's “official” application, together with the web plugin for Gmail. He is in my buddy list and we can chat, but we cannot make voice calls, nor use video chat: I see all buttons greyed out (except the “text chat” one).
    Any ideas to make it work?
    Thank you very much

    Hi,
    iChat or Messages to a Browser has never worked.
    He needs to get a Mac or you need to change to using a Browser.
    The Why.
    Google talk run a Jabber server.
    Most Jabber App have a module call Jingle Library that does the A/V stuff.  See Jingle
    Jingle use different A/V protocols to those used by iChat and Messages.
    The linked article seems to get changed fairly regularly.
    Currently it reads
    Jingle is an extension to the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) which adds peer-to-peer (P2P) session control (signaling) for multimedia interactions such as in Voice over IP (VoIP) or videoconferencing communications. It was designed by Google and the XMPP Standards Foundation. The multimedia streams are delivered using the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP). If needed, NAT traversal is assisted using Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE).
    As of December 2009, the proposed Jingle specification has not yet been approved by the XMPP Standards Foundation, but is now a Draft Standard, meaning: "Implementations are encouraged and the protocol is appropriate for deployment in production systems, but some changes to the protocol are possible before it becomes a Final Standard."[1]
    The libjingle library, used by Google Talk to implement Jingle, has been released to the public under a BSD license. It implements both the current standard protocol and the older, pre-standard version.
    I have bolded the last part.
    This article has reads that Google (And XXMP/Jabber) "Created" the Jingle process.  In the past the wording around this has varied and the implied involvement by Google has varied along with it.
    Before that it did not mention Google in that way and also said the Google version was not that compatible with versions in other Jabber apps.
    This "Older" version would be 3 years out to date.
    iChat and Messages connect using SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) for A/V chats.
    This works with an Intervening server acting as an "Telephone Operator" at both ends to check the Acceptability or the Incoming call and the ports to be used  (it also checks that where the Visible Invite went is the person replying/Accepting).
    AS you both have Google IDs in may be simpler fro you to use a web Browser and download the Google Web Browser Plugin.
    NOTE:
    This may have issues if you use the FLASH Plugin as well.
    At one time Google Used Flash to generate the Video and it seems their plugin is very closely "related" in the way it works.

  • Why can't I use the Google talk in ichat?

    I have MBA with ichat v 5.
    I just downloaded google talk using my gmail account.
    Now when I click on ichat and went to click on "I am available"
    a new windows appear with my gmail address and password to be typed in. When I type in my pass-word it does not!! The same windows keep reappearing to confirm my pass-word!!
    How could get my ichat working?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    That extra lower case l is not the issue. It is the standard message when this happens.
    Is port 5223 open in your Modem or router ?
    UPnP will be OK for that.
    If it is still a problem try deleting com.apple.ichat.Jabber.plist and restarting iChat.
    This .plist is in your Home Folder/Library/Preferences which you will have to go to Manually as Spotlight does not look in there.

  • Google Talk and iChat Snow Leapord

    I am trying to find out if any other people can not longer video chat with a Jabber account using gmail account to anyone else that uses Google Talk. This set up worked fine before the upgrade to Snow Leapord and iChat 5.0
    I have contacted Apple support and they will not offer support for setting up Google Talk.
    I also have a Mobile Me account and still can not seem to video chat using a specific Apple test account.
    So I looking for any help with that does use iChat and Google Talk

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    In iChat > Preferences > Video section Set the Bandwidth Limit drop down to 500kbps
    This may help with the Audio issue with iChat Buddies.
    Jabber Buddies not using iChat may not even be able to Video as very few Jabber Servers do this. (And they are working on their own Protocols called Jingle)
    GoogleTalk is a Jabber server but have chosen their own method to do Video (not the same Codecs as iChat)
    The Web Mail page chat option uses Flash. This seems to be compatible with the PC based Googletalk App (but not with iChat)
    These maybe more readily found solutions
    Alternatives to iChat but Video chatting In a Web Browser

  • Help. how do you enable video chat on google + hangouts with android

    have a new RAZR MAXX, can't get the video button to apear or even the start/join hangouts.

    The Razr Maxx is a new device.  Sometime Google is late to the party when allowing protected apps for new devices. 

  • How many video chats can you use with this server?

    I am looking to develop a multi-video chat app that's easy to
    build. Can I use Stratus with this? Or do I need to use FMS.

    none of the video streams will pass through Stratus. Stratus
    only enables end-to-end streams. You are limited only by the amount
    of bandwidth the client ends have as far as how many different
    streams can be flowing.
    if you need to relay streams through a server (the to-many
    case, or the end-to-end is blocked by firewalls or certain NAT
    configurations cases), you'll need to use FMS.

  • Google Voice Chat?

    Are there any Mac IM clients that will allow me to have voice chats through Google talk?

    You can't do audio chats from iChat to the Windows Google Talk client at this time.
    iChat uses a custom system for audio chats, and the only client that speaks this system over XMPP (Jabber) is iChat.
    The Google Talk client uses a system that, with some changes, is now a forthcoming standard called Jingle. All being well, on the 31st of October the Jingle standard will move forward and become a draft standard. After which Google should hopefully update the Google Talk client to use the new standard and other clients should also start to implement it. When iChat will do so no one outside Apple knows but, IMO, it will happen sooner or later.
    Anyway, short version is: don't expect to be able to voice chat between iChat and the Gtalk client before Leopard is released (and possibly not even then).
