Re: No video with video chat.

I had my skype updated but to my surprise my video chat is gone. How to fix this? I thought this version is better but it's not working with me. I have iphone 5c. Pls help

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
iChat can Video with a GoogleTalk Buddy if they are on iChat as well.
It can Text chat to anyone with a Google Talk ID whether they are using the Google mail Chat option or using Jabber able Chat application on a PC or a Mac.
Text chat to Anyone anywhere on a Jabber Client (Application) or the Google Web Site.
Video chat only to other iChat users (iChat 3 or 4)
You Cna not Video chat to a MAc Buddy if they are Text Chatting from the Web Site option as that uses a Different set of Video codecs
These seem to be different again from the GoogleTalk app for PCs
(there is no Mac GoogleTalk app just the ability to use the names in iChat and other Jabber able chat Applications)

Losing video with i chat av

I am using ichat av with panther and a 512k connection, when i video chat to my buddy who's using aim on a pc with a 2mb connection, the picture freezes after about 10 mins but We still have audio. I have to close the window and start a new chat to solve it. This is becoming really anoying! anyone got any ideas why this is happening??

Hello Richard,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Sounds like you have the "PC Freeze". Several of us are so stricken with a few, but not all, of our PC friends. TTF (time-to-freeze) varies, but the symptoms are as you describe for all.
See msg # 22 in iChat MAC to PC Video Freeze after 6.5 min for the work-arounds identified to date.
There is lots more info on what has been tried in that entire thread.
If you find a fix, let us know.

How do I get Video and Audio Chats with PCs ? iChat FAQ 3 (Updated 7/12/2008)
Applies to iChat 2.x, iChat 3.x and iChat 4.x to any version of AIM on a PC before AIM 6.1
This piece is designed for those trying to connect Mac to PC for Video and Audio chats. Any iChat version Panther and up.
Glossary For This FAQ
This bit is designed for clarity.
Video is the sending and /or recieving of pictures and sound.
Audio is the sending and or receiving of sound only.
One-Way is the ablity to start either an Audio or Video chat from one end to a receipient who can not match your capabilities (or Vice Versa)
What is needed
At the Mac end
A Mac running OS 10.3.x and iChat AV ver 2.1 or 10.4 plus iChat 3 or Leopard and iChat 4
A DSL/Cable/Fibre (Broadband) connection of at least an up link speed of 256kbs.
An AIM , @mac.com or MobileMe (@me.com) account name.
(hosting Multiple person Mac to Mac AV chats requires higher specs and broadband uplink speed).
At the PC end
1 PC running windows XP (home or Pro). THIS A MUST
The AIM Standalone Application, currently at ver. 5.9 at this link. AIM (the Site) now call this version Classic and it cannot be Installed On Vista
Note: there is also Trillian which has a Pro version for $25 that can also Video and Audio chat. The Basic version just Texts and Audio Chats (AIM does not Audio chat)
Some need the aimrtc12.exe file from Here Mostly Earlier than XP or Pre Service Pack 2 XP versions of Windows
Note: It has been noted that this file is now apparently included in Windows XP after Service Pack 2 and above.
An AIM account/screen name (AOL or Netscape count as well)
Service Pack 2 info. This info will allow the PC user to enable AIM thorough the XP Firewall. The Windows Firewall did not exist as such before this
Between both of you.
At least one camera (Mac end)
A sound input device (the camera, if it has one is ok)
Your Buddies screen/account name in each others Buddy Lists
Other tweaks
For some people, using AIM on a PC, may also have to make sure their preferences (properties) are set in the AIM Buddy list, for their camera and /or Mic. (Tuning at Message 570)
This is an icon button lower right on the Buddy List marked "Prefs" (AIM 5.5). This leads to the Preferences. Drop down the list until you read Live Video. Click on this. In the new window that opens click the button that says Tuning Video and Audio. Follow the instructions in the wizard that opens up. Access in AIM 5.9 for this is in the My AIM menu at the top of the Buddy list and then Options
To Start
You should now be able to chat to each other.
If each of you has a camera it can be full Video , as described in the Glossary at the top.
To start from the Mac end, select (highlight) your Buddy with one click. His camera icon should be dark. Click on the icon near his name or the one at the bottom of the Buddy List. (You do not have to start a text chat).
To start from the PC end you need to start a text chat, then select the Video icon at the bottom of the chat window.
If one of you has a camera and the other has a Mic then you will be able to chat One Way but have sound will be both ways.
To start this type of chat from the Mac end you will have to go to the menu item "Buddies" and drop down to the item "Invite to One Way Video Chat"
To start this from a PC follow the directions in the pargraph above. You may need to change the tab to the incoming Video at the back of the two to see the Video. These tabs are added when the Video chat starts and the front one normally states you do not have a camera and shows a connection to buy one.
It is also possible to chat One Way if the other person does not have a Mic: replies will have to be typed in a Text chat.
No Camera and No Mic will cause iChat to End the chat with "No Data Received for 10 Secs"
Summary
For any sort of sound to a PC using AIM, (Talk in PC or Audio in iChat) the Mac will need a camera. The other person can have a Mic and then live chats with sound both ways and Pictures (Video) the other.
NOTE: At This Time It Is NOT Possible to Audio (sound only) between Mac & PC with AIM & iChat
Trillian Basic can Audio. Trillian Pro can Video and has a bigger picture and can do Full Screen.
Another explanation of the set up can be found Here about AIM 5.5 but is transferable.

But Where ? Can you help me anyone ? Thank you in advance and have a nice day.

Report back and give us more details on your set up to troubleshoot your issue.

Problem with video/audio chat

i installed a logictech pro 9000 webcam to my mini last night, and it was recognized by the computer and seemed to be working, (i was clearly visible on the monitor). however when a friend attempted to accept my invitations to video and audio chats, we both saw an error message that said he "dropped the connection" (or something like that). the same thing happened when i attempted to accept his invites. we tried a few times with no success and the same error message. text chatting was working fine, and we both use AIM.
i have the mini hardwired to a cable modem, and we do have a wireless router running for laptops.
any ideas out there?

Hi,
It might help if we knew what sort of Accounts/Screen Names were involved ?
What have you checked ?
Mac Firewall ?
Router ?
Logging on to your Mac with another Mac User ?
Does the Mac User Account you normally use have Parental Controls turned On ?

No audio with video chat, but it works with screen sharing...

I've got a friend who just upgraded to snow leopard. We're both using iMacs. My computer is working find, and I have audio and video with other people.
When we video chat, there is no audio. When I screen share with her computer, with her seeing my desktop or me seeing her desktop, the audio works.
No mute buttons are down, I've checked system preferences (sound) everything is right.
Any ideas?

HAs she checked that System Preferences > Sound > Input is listing and has her Mic Selected ?
Is he r Volume high enough in the same place ?
In her Video Menu is the "Microphone " Enabled" ticked ?
In iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section is the same Mic listed ?
Do the response bars move under the Preview when she talks ?
During a Chat in Your Connection Doctor (Video Menu) is she sending any Audio ?
IS she showing as having a log more Bit Rate than you ?

After years of owning all things Mac, I am finally trying to use iChat, and can't get it to work. I see my buddy, but all I can do is send a message--the video and audio chat icons are gray, as is inviting to a video chat under Buddies.

After years of owning all things Mac, I am finally trying to use iChat, and can't get it to work. I am using gmail, and I see my buddy (no camera icon next to her name), but all I can do is send a message--the video and audio chat icons are gray, as is inviting to a video chat under Buddies. My buddy has the same problem as I. We are able to do video chat through gmail, but I had hoped to use iChat. I am using OS 10.6.8, iChat v. 5.0.3. What am I missing?

HI,
iChat will Video chat to another iChat in a Jabber Buddy List (Google run a Jabber server for GoogleTalk)
However it will not Video to the Web Page login to iGoogle or the Web Mail Page login. (where people can Google Chat as it were in a Web Browser).
Nor does it video to the Google Talk Stand alone app for PCs or any other Jabber apps on any platform.
iChat uses a connection Process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) which is also used by other VoIP devices.
Jabber/XMPP invited the Jingle Protocol for Jabber Applications.
Google have included this in their Standalone app and the Plug-in for Web Browsers on both PCs and Mac (you can get this as a Standalone Plug-in or as part of Chrome)
More on this here This article has been changed several time in the recent months. It now claims a greater involvement by Google in writing the Jingle Library (Although now Google's version does not work with the others)
This tends to mean that using the web Login to Google to Chat also cannot video chat to other Jabber apps that are using Jingle.
If your Buddy is using iChat then check the Video Menu has two items to Enable Camera/Video chat and Microphone/Audio chats are ticked.
In the View Menu the Show Status Items should be ticked (Selecting them toggles the tick and the function On or Off)
It could be Internet speed but at this stage I would doubt this at this stage.

Using video with Google Talk account in iChat

Hello,
Is is possible to use video chat with a Google Talk account in iChat? I am able to tect chat, but cannot seem to connect to video with other (PC) users.
Cheers,
Candice

Hi
Have you got a AIM or .mac account
You can use iChat to talk(video) a PC on AIM, The PC must be using AIM6.1 http://www.aim.com/getaim/win/latestwin.adp?aolp=
Or Skype.
Mac version http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/macosx/
PC version http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/windows/

No Video With Google Talk on Droid 3

Just got my wife the new Droid 3 that's running Android 2.3.4. This is the version of Android that is supposed to support video with Google Talk. Tried starting Talk and only thing I can do is messaging with Talk. No video option like on my Thrive tablet.
What's the Deal Google?Verizon/Motorola?

I know how software works and how companies have a habit of delivering products before they are ready, i.e. "get the device approved for software that is loaded on a device".
Based on what I found on the Motorola frequently asked questions page, see below, It appears that Motorola tried but right now it's in Google's & Verizon's court. Because of Google's urge to keep their products a step ahead of their competitors, I'd be surprised if it was them holding up approval.
Google Talk video chat
DROID 3 by Motorola will not support Google Talk videochat at the time of market launch. We are excited about the potential of videochat to enrich the Motorola smartphone experience, and we are working actively with Google and Verizon Wireless to enable this feature as soon as possible.
While we do not endorse or guarantee these solutions, or provide support for them, some owners have reported success using a 3rd party Android Application like "Tango". You can search the Android Market for 3rd party applications that are available that will enable you to video chat.

Unfortunately he need that software but could not find it??? Does any body knows where we can download it??? Waiting for you replies.............

Skype for Symbian has been discontinued and stopped working. Since the Nokia C5 works with Symbian S60 you won't be able to use Skype any longer. Please read this:

Can't Use Video with other Mac users who use AIM

I know that ichat is compatible for video chats with other pc users who use aim, but does it work with other mac users who use aim?
Everytime I try to chat with my friend, I get an error message when trying to start of a video chat.
BTW, I use a iMac G5 with an isight camera.

Hi Staci,
For a Bit of Clarity.
AOL have their Instant Message App. referred to as AIM.
Apple decided and did a deal with AOL that iChat could join their service Buddy Lists.
On these Discussions we tend to refer iChat as Logging into AIM, as they are the servers that the Buddy Lists are held on.
As iChat can also use Bonjour and Jabber, both of which have their own Buddy list window on your Mac. The Jabber side needs you to have a Jabber screen name - so again people differentiate between this and the AIM side.
I would guess you friend is trying to make it clear that she is using the AIM side of iChat as opposed to the Jabber side.
As has been said already, the Application side of things also tend to get referred to generically as "AIM" as well.
The Mac version has stopped and 4.7 and will only Text chat.
The PC side needs 5.9 to clearly Video or Audio chat with a Mac using iChat. (AIM 6.0 is not stable enough to A/V chat to iChat).
