Multiple people on I-Chat session degrades quality

I am trying to have upto four people conferenced on I-Chat. When I add a third party, the video signal degrades badly.
Has anyone got some input on how to improve the video quality?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi
Have you all set the Quicktime streaming setting on all side's, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps(dont use automatic)
In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to NONE.
Restart iChat.

  • How to invite multiple people into one chat?

    when using the app why can't i invite multiple people into one chat i can only do one on one? just curious.
    [Topic title updated by moderator to be more descriptive. Original topic title was: "the app"]

    I'm using the Skype app on IOS but the only way to have multiple people in one chat together we have to do it from a computer but not all of us have a computer on hand but we do have our phones and or tablets with us I was just wonder the the app didn't have those capabilities.

  • Does video chat on the new Messager on Mac allow screen share or multiple people?

    does video chat on the new Messager on Mac allow screen share or multiple people?
    i noticed they said that facetime will basically be taking over video calls on the mac and that Messager will take over ichat, but i'm worried they're going to drop all the nice features they had on ichat, like being able to share screens while video chatting with someone. or being able to chat with 2 people at once on a video call.
    has anyone downloaded the beta of this yet and tried it out? i'm very curious

    Hi,
    You can start a Video chat with one Buddy and then chose Screen Share and providing you and the Buddy are using UPnP to open ports it will instantly convert to a Screen Share.
    A Screen Share is only 1-1 and is technically an Audio Chat +
    The Plus bit is an VNC connection alongside the Audio Chat.
    This VNC connection uses a random port - hence the need to use UPnP to open the ports in the router (Or Port Mapping Protocol) in  Apple Base Station.
    There used to be Add-ons that allowed the Desktop as Video Feed which would have been a sort of Screen Share but none of these have been updated for Lion.
    An Example is iUSBCam  (ShowMacster was another - My link no longer works)
    CamCamX maybe a possibility if it works in Lion  (It does say it neess iUSBCam for iChat)

  • Multiple people video-chat

    Is it possible to create a videochat with multiple people in iChat? Like a video-conference... I know it works with Skype, but skype dosen't work that well after Microsoft bought it...

    Hi,
    Actually Skype was reported as having issues before Microsoft bought it.
    (version 5 caused lots of people problems).
    iChat can Video chat between you and 3 other people (Or you and 9 others in an Audio Only chat).
    You have to have at least an internet connection with 384kbps Upload to be able to do this.
    This is the lowest speed at which you can Host the chat (Start).
    Below this you can sometimes join a Video Chat (Be invited by someone else).
    Processor speed plays a party in all of this.
    Several ways to start.
    Click one Buddy's Video icon
    Add another by clicking their Video icon.
    Or highlight several Buddies (CMD click allows separated buddies where and Shift Click highlights those in between as well)
    Click either one of those Buddies' Video icon or use the one at the Bottom of the Buddy list
    All Buddies must be using iChat (AIM on a PC cannot Multiple chat)
    All Buddies  must be either Logged in to AIM or be Jabber Based Names (Includes GoogleTalk)
    In iChat 6 you can also do this is you have a Yahoo LIst and iChat using Yahoo Buddies.
    To be clear if you have a name that Logs in to AIM you cannot Add Jabber or Google Buddies to the Chat (Same for Yahoo)
    Or if you are using a Googletalk name you can only Invite people that are assed to that List (Other Google Buddies or Jabber Buddies).
    Same for Yahoo lists and Buddies (Can't invite AIM or Jabber Buddies)

  • Unable to share files when in a IM convo with multiple people Lync 2013

    Hello,
    I'm in the middle of a migration from lync server 2010 to lync server 2013. The users I have migrated over to lync 2013 are not able to send/share attachments when in a convo with multiple people.
    However, users can send/share files when IM'ing with individual people.
    I've been researching this issue for quite some time but still having a problem pinpointing  the issue.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Did the issue also happen between users who still in Lync server 2010 pool?
    Did the issue happen internal or external?
    Please double check if MCU on Lync 2013 FE server works well, when two participants are connected, the session is essentially peer-to-peer. When three or more participants are connected, the Sharing feature depends on the Front End Server Multi Point Control
    Unit (MCU) to provide the sharing stream to all parties.

  • Can multiple people post on the same shared photo stream?

    Is there a way to have multiple people post on the same shared photo stream?
    My cousin would like to have a single shared photo stream where we can both post photos on it and comment, instead of having two separate shared photo streams. 
    We think that there should be an option for the album creator to give access to anyone he/she shares it with to enable them to also post pics on the same stream.

  • How can i send a email to multiple people on my ipad2 using the contact and group list downloaded from my iMac.  Thank you

    I am 63 yrs old and not to computer literate.  I know how to send an email to multiple people using my contact list and groups on my IMAC.  I tried using a group name downloaded to my Ipad2 from my IMac.  It does not work.  If I choose a single email address it works.  Any idea what I am doing wrong?
    Thank you for your paitence and help.
    Steve

    You are not doing anything wrong. The feature that you need is totally lacking in the built in Mail app on the iPad.
    There are a couple of third party mail apps that will let you do this ... MailShot and Group Email with Attachments. You can check them out in the App Store.

  • Can I Turn off iMessage in a group text with multiple people with different devices? There's 1 person in the group text that doesn't use iPhone anymore and they can't see any messages that are sent unless we send as regular text individually.

    Is there a way to turn off iMessage for a group text that includes multiple people with different non-apple devices? When a message is sent, only the iPhone users can see the iMessage. Those without them cannot see the texts unless we send individual Text Messages or turn off iMessage completely.

    now I have this and it still doesn't work.

  • Multiple people working on same iWeb domain.

    I am trying to rebuild my site after upgrading to iWeb'08 and would love to be able to have multiple people work on different areas of the site to speed up the process. How do I sync them back without loosing links. Can I ever have them exist in one file again. I believe that I can manually publish to folder then put them all in same folder.
    If there is any advice you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.

    Advice?
    Don't try it.
    You would need multiple versions of the Domain.sites folder created by iWeb and there is no way to merge them into just one file.

  • HT204053 Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices?

    Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices? I just set up my IPhone 4S (first time user) using the same Apple ID as my daughters and now we receive each others texts, do I need to set up my own Apple ID account?

    Yes, you can.  In fact it's recommended that you use different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud.  You can still share the same ID for iTunes without any issues.
    You are getting each other's text messages because you're using the same ID for iMessage.  To fix this, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with a different ID.  To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

    Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
    Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
    cheers
    Tom

    They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
    Not a great solution.
    Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.
