I Chat to MSN messenger

Does anyone know how to make iChat talk with MSN messenger? I have a messenger for mac, but it doesn't allow me to use the webcam and microphone. I know I need a jabber to do this. I also have email account only which i let my brother use. Is that any way to iChat with him, who has a pc?
Thanks.

Hi gerson,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
iChat will text chat to MSN or Yahoo!
See the first three numbered links here http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page5.html
As Defcom says it needs another App or option to Video
See Other Apps on the same page which includes the suggestions Defcom has made.

  • Voice Chat using MSN Messenger behind NAT

    Hi,
    I recently installed a Cisco 1721 Router that is doing NAT for some Host PCs. These PC's are configured with private IP Addressing.
    Problem is with MSN Messenger Voice. Since MSN Messenger uses SIP for establshing connection, and i think it embeds the IP Address information in Layer 5\6, so it is not working.
    Can someone point me towards a configuration for Cisco IOS, that would be able to acheive this ? I.e. ability to use SIP , while using NAT (PAT or Static) ?
    I am running 12.2(11)T.
    Regrds \\ Naman

    The default SIP port is 5060, however as SIP uses many different ports for communication allowing just 5060 will not work.
    Cisco PIX Firewall versions 6.0 and 6.1 offer SIP support that solves NAT traversal issues by acting as an application-layer gateway (ALG).
    Cisco PIX Firewalls dynamically open and close UDP ports for secure SIP traffic to flow through. Other vendors must open a large range of UDP ports, which creates a security risk

  • How can I do video chat with my PC friends on MSN messenger?

    Well I posted this in the iChat area, but theres almost no traffic there, hoping for a better response here
    I just got my iMac today and was hoping to do some video chats with family members. I can't figure out how to video chat with them since MSN messenger is not Mac compatable. Does anyone know of a program I can use on my Mac to video chat with MSN messenger users?
    *I was able to use aMSN for video, but there was NO sound so that basically defeated the purpose...

    Hi
    Have just replied to your iChat post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4577049#4577049 where I've posted a link to Mercury Messenger, that might work.

  • MSN Messenger Video Chat???

    Hello all,
    Does anyone know a way to have video chat with MSN Messenger users on either iPad or iMac??

    Well Microsoft has a Messenger client for Mac but it doesnt offer video support. I have tried Adium, which works pretty well for everything, but it too doesnt offer video.
    I was hoping that I was just out of touch with the mac world and that there was surely a solution for this but im beginning to think otherwise.
    With all of the Messenger clients out there non of them support video chat, not even Microsofts very own.

  • MSN Messenger

    I just downloaded the newest version for mac, and my cousin (who owns a PC) wants to video chat through MSN messenger, but I cannot find how to video chat on my version of MSN...is there a way to, or do I only have iChat for that?

    is there a way to
    No. Download aMSN instead.
    If you have further questions regarding Messenger you should post them on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:

  • Using the built in Isight camera with MSn Messenger

    I am trying to use the built in webcam on my MacBook Pro with MSN Messenger. I cannot locate the option to activate the camera. Any help is appreciated.

    I have a new Macbook and want to video chat with MSN Messenger users.
    Can I do that via aMSN?
    I've also got XP running on my Macbook and have installed MSN Messenger running but I cant seem to get XP to recognize the built in camera. Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks in advance

  • Chat To MSN Users Using Jabber?

    Is it possible to chat to MSN Messenger users through iChat using Jabber? I know that you can chat to people that use Google Talk on their PCs through iChat, but what about MSN Messenger?

  • MSN Messenger and camera.

    So, I noticed you can't web cam chat using msn messenger on a mac.
    Are there any alternatives similar to MSN where you can while still keeping your MSN contact list?
    I tried using 'aMSN' and that didn't work either.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Alanna.
    There's really no good MSN solutions out there for Mac OS X (yet) if you are planning to use the video-conference functionality. If you just want basic MSN functonality I would recommend trying out Adium (www.adium.com).
    If you are on an Intel based Mac, you could try running MSN Live Messenger from Windows XP running in e.g. Parallels or VMWare Fusion (which let you run Windows on top of Mac OS X on Intel-based macs). You should probably have at least 2 GB RAM though...
    Another option you might have is Skype (though your "buddies" would need to use that too).

  • Video & MSN Messenger

    Will using Jabber allow me to video chat with MSN Messenger people? If not, is there a program that will allow me to video chat from my mac to my families PC on MSN Messenger?

    So no way to do both video and sound with MSN from a mac correct? Ok. thanks for all the help. I guess we'll go to a different chatting program. Any suggestions for one that is the most user friendly on both the PC and Mac side of things?

  • MSN Messenger uses wrong inbuilt webcam for video chat on triple screen set up. It uses a cinema display webcam not the iMac webcam.

    For some strange reason if i attach my 2  apple cinema displays to my iMac to make a triple  screen set up msn messenger video chat does work but it uses the apple cinema display inbuilt webcam and not the iMac webcam. Its annoying as i have to turn sideways to get into the video call view.
    So i have  a set up like this: an apple cinema display thunderbolt, then in the middle an iMac new then to the right of the iMac another apple thunderbolt cinema display. WWhen i use MSN messenger to make a video call it uses the inbuilt webcam on the far right apple thunderbolt cinema display and not the inbuilt webcam in the iMac in front of me, its annoying any ideas please.
    If i unplug both side cinema displays MSN messenger uses the inbuilt camera on the iMac like normal but when  i use extra screens it uses the webcam built into those and not the iMacs webcam.

    I would try with another client like skype or something
    and if it's only msn messanger which have the problem it may
    be more of a question for ms's forum?

  • How can I chat with my MSN Messenger friends using Messages in Lion (not iChat)?

    I use MSN Messenger daily to talk with friends but I would like to use Messages to chat with them. Is there a way to do this? I looked in the preferences but it only lists AIM, Google, Yahoo and Jabber. I don't use any of those ones. I only use MSN. Anybody know how, or if it's even possible?

    HI,
    The Messages Beta has run out.
    The End Date was the 14th December 2012.
    However iChat and Messages in Mountain lion can be enabled to Add MSN Buddies to a Jabber List using Transports.
    These Instructions detail how you can use a third Party app (in this case Psi) to enable  a Transport on a Server that uses Transports and then Add MSN Buddies to your Jabber Buddy list.
    The Instructions were written some while ago and  include many pictures.
    The current version of Psi is newer than the pics but you can still work out what to do.
    The process will only enable Text Chatting

  • Dual screen imac uses wrong inbuilt webcam for msn messenger video chat.

    I have an imac and apple display set up, using msn messenger the webcam built into the apple cinema display is used not the imac webcam itself, can I change this so the webcam built into the new imac is used, thanks.

    Your info shows you are using some "Other OS".  If that is Windows, Linux, etc., I cannot help you.  However, if you are using some version of Mac OS X and your system info merely needs updating, keep reading.
    It has been several years since I tested msn messenger for Mac (MMM) , and I no longer use it.  However, one of the following ideas should get things working unless MMM is written to prohibit selection of alternate cameras.
    (1) Launch MMM and check its Help menu item.  If MMM's Help on your Mac does not answer your question, check MMM's web support: http://mac2.microsoft.com/help/office/14/en-us/messenger/
    (2) If nothing in Help or Support gets things sorted, you may be able to use the trick from ¶ 4 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302781 to force MMM to choose the webcam built into the new imac:
    • Connect and power on all devices. • Quit MMM if it is running. • Launch any app with a user-selectable camera "Preferences..."
     menu command. (The "tip" suggests that you use iChat,
     but others like Photo Booth, iMovie, etc., may work, too.) • Open "Preferences..." and set the camera "Preference" to use
     the display iSight. • Now launch MMM. MMM should now use the iMac's inbuilt
     iSight because your display camera is in use by the other
     application.

  • How do I get MSN messenger to work on my MacBook Pro.

    I want to use MSN Messenger on my MacBook Pro.  All my friends use PCs and can chat easily, transfer files and can use the camera too.  I can't do any of that.  Hope someone can help.

    I have it on my mac from the latest Office for mac.  It even updated after it was installed.  My issue is that when I try to log in to my accont, it tries and then logs straight back out.
    Any ideas on what's wrong?
