Video chat trouble in Ichat

Dear all,
I am new to mac. I am using ichat for video and calling features. Ichat work fine with simple messaging options. But I cannot see any video or calling icons in front of buddies.. One of my friend who was on gtalk tried to call me. He was not able to call me because of the software i.e. iChat that I am using instead of gtalk. But I guess I should be able to call even if i am using iChat. I donot know how to solve the problem. Any help and suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Hi,
All the major Services for IM apps (Which of course now include some form of Video and/or Audio Chat function) use different protocols from each other.
Google run GoogleTalk as a service and the basic server behind this is a Jabber one.
This means you can connect to it using a Jabber capable app (of which ichat is one)
There other Mac apps that will do this (The Login and text chat part), namely ProteusX, Adium and Psi in addition to iChat. (These three apps though don't do Video in Jabber (or other services)
Jabber apps on the whole though use a Protocol to connect for Audio or Video Chat called Jingle.
Google's version of this is not actually that compatible with other Jabber apps on PCs.
However Jingle is written into the Browser Plug-in (Intel only) you can get from Google to Chat in a Browser using Video and Audio.
iChat uses process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to connect for Video Chats.
It will work iChat to iChat and from iChat to AIM or Trillian Pro on a PC (you tend to be stuck using AIM valid names)
So...
iChat to GoogleTalk app on a PC (There is a standalone App) will not work for Audio or Video
iChat to Web Browser, Mac or PC, will not work as above.
Realistically it is simplest if you download the Intel Only Plug-in for your Browser and Chat from the GoogleMail web page or your iGoogle page.
(Or swap them to the AIM App on PCs -- the Google Web Browser chat may still be easier to set up)
By Inference the Yahoo option in iChat 6 will also only Video or Audio Chat to other iChat users

HI,
Apple did not erase iChat.
Messages in Mountain Lion is iChat +
The plus bit is the fact you can iMessage iOS devices.
All the other features that were in iChat are still there.
If you upgraded Lion to get to Mountain Lion then in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars you probably list all the iChat Accounts (Screen Names and IDs).
You may need to enable them for Messages.
They should also show up in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts
Once those accounts (AIM and Jabber) are Enabled they can be viewed in a Combined Buddy List
Windows Menu > Buddies (Or using CMD + 1 Keystrokes)
In the General Section of the Preferences you can Unlink these Buddy lists.
The Green icons or highlight a Buddy and then using the Buddies Menu or the icons at the Bottom of the Buddy list can be used the same way to start Video or Audio Only chats.
The iMessage "Account" is only for texting iOS devices or other people using their Apple ID on a Mac in Messages.
It is an account "in addition to" rather than "taking over from" the services that iChat can join.

Maximum number of video chats supported by iChat Server

Hello all,
In the early 10.5 OS X server days, there were reports that OS X Server's iChat Server included support for 7 simultaneous video chats. Is this true? Is this still true with OS X 10.6 Server's iChat Server?
If not, what is the maximum number of video chats supported with OS X Server's iChat Server?
Thank you,
-darrell

In the early 10.5 OS X server days, there were reports that OS X Server's iChat Server included support for 7 simultaneous video chats. Is this true?
Not sure if the reports were about saying that; but it is not true.
Is this still true with OS X 10.6 Server's iChat Server?
Nope
If not, what is the maximum number of video chats supported with OS X Server's iChat Server?
Unlimited. This is 'cos audio and video streams are p2p and don't pass through the iChat server. The server has a limited involvement in helping the iChat clients set up the p2p connections, but once connected, it is no longer involved.

I cant video chat with other ichat users. ! :O

I have a mac mini with snow leopard and my ichat was working since i started using it. Under my green video camera icon there were like 3 or 4 panels or however many there are regularly. Now the only panel is the video camera and i cant vchat with other ichat users. but when i disable the camera all the panels appear. this happened after i had my macbook ichat and mac mini ichat on at the same time.
HELP PLEASEEE!

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
Scenario 1
Next to your Own Buddy icon at the top of the Buddy list your own Video icon should be "Stacked" if you can do Multi-way Video Chats.
As Audio chat take less bandwidth it is implied you can do Multi-way Audio Chats.
If your Icon becomes a single "Flat" one then so will your Buddies as you will only be able to Video Chat to them one at a time.
If you can Multi-way Chat but a Buddy can not (most likely a AIM on PC Buddy) then they will show a "Flat" iCon.
Resized "Flat" pic
Resized "Stacked" pic
Scenario 2
However these icons appear in a group at the bottom of the Buddy List, and are dark like this when a Buddy is highlighted.
From what you posted I am not entirely clear which part you are talking about.
I would rather be clear before we proceed.
Can you start though with a plain Shut down and reboot of the computer and then start up iChat ?
This will get iChat to recheck the Bandwidth (portion of your Internet Connection) it can "See" and it may do better now the other computer is not doing a Video chat.

When my friend sends me a video chat request on ichat my cam light turns on, but the cam and the request dont show up. i have a macpro with os x lion

when my friend sends me a ichat video chat request, my cam light comes on, but my cam, nor hers, nor the request she sent shows up, nor does it make the ringing sound when a call is coming in. also it says she is in another chat but shes not. and when i send the request my cam comes on, but she doesnt get the request. i have a mac pro with os x lion.

Your HD may be crashed, so you probably should use the oringinal install discs to run Apple Hardware Test in extended mode. If error codes appear this confirms a hardware failure. In addition you cannnot repair the HD using Disk Utility from the startup disk, you have to use the origninal Install discs that shipped with the computer or the most up-to-date version of OS X on a disc that you have.

Video chat from Mac iChat to PC AOL 9

Hi!
Can I use iChat on my MacBook (new 10/2008) to start a live video IM conversation with a PC buddy using AOL 9.0 (NOT AIM, but the IM built into the AOL application)? We both have AOL screennames. Have you tried this?

Can only find this http://www.andreaslinde.com/archives/2004/10/23/video-conference-ichat-aolaim/

All other video/chat software works, ichat doesn't!

I, like many others in this group have been trying to fix the problem of the ichat 'did not respond' nightmare. Love Tiger 10.4.2. Love iChat 3.01 (usually)
I've spoken to the modem maker in an attempt to unblock anything stopping the problem inside (D-link DSL-504G) I've switched firewalls on, I've switched them off, I've re-installed, I've opened ports, I've read every manual, I've tried other software - Yahoo messenger, iVisit, Sightspeed, they all work ok. I've bitten all the fingernails I have.
Both parties can see the apple test, we could both see and communicate with each other up until a week or so ago. We're both now thinking PC......
If there's anything, absolutely anything, including cult rituals, that anybody thinks I should try that hasn't been mentioned already, I'm all ears!
(bitten) fingers crossed.

I Anthony,
I take it you followed something similar to this ?
Or the Version 2 ? which looks slightly cleaner.
There may be newer firmware that adds UPnP as an option.
In both cases you need to add the other 22 ports for AV chats.

I've received a similar error message. Try reducing the Bandwidth limit in iChat preferences. If it is set to "none" then I suspect you are experiencing the same phenomena as I have experienced. This occurs when multiple users are running under a mixture of broadband technologies and efficiencies. e.g. DSL vs. Cable. Satellite broadband can be worse.
We theorize that your/our Cable broadband bandwidth is so fast that the sync'ing or handshaking between the machines is outrunning one or all of your participants. This situation would occur when you or one of your participants is running broadband under DSL and the other(s) are running under Cable broadband. So if you're running at a 15Mbps download stream and a 2Mbps upload stream and one of your friends is running on DSL usually 768/368Kbps then there is a broadband mis-match. You'll "time-out" on the sync'ing and handshaking hence the error "you did not respond"!
Try resetting your Bandwidth Limit in iChat Preferences/Video to 1Mbps, and restart iChat. If that doesn't work reset to 500Kbps/restart etc. until it works.
Plz post if this resolves the problem.

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.

What is needed for a PC user to video chat with me on ichat?

I'm a newbie at this....The easiest solution is to convert them to MAC! But that isn't going to happen! Desperately need to see my little grandson.....please help if you can.....the answer is probably very simple and i am going to feel a little silly.
My husband and I communicate just fine on video ichat between our two MACS....he uses an @aol.com id and i use a @me.com id

Hi,
AIM for a PC or the app Trillian will do it (With an AIM name).
Trillian used to sell 3 versions until recently. The oldest, ver 3.2, now seems to have disappeared from their site. It was on "Sale" at $15
They also seem to have renumbered the various releases as Version 3.2 used to be the same for Mac and PCs
The previous layout also implied the Mac version was the same as the Windows 4.2 version And the Beta option for version 5 has also disappeared.
Also if you have a Google mail Account and they do as well you cna both turn On the Talk option at Google and make use of GoogleTalk in a web Broswer.
iChat can make use of the GoogleTalk ID (It's your email in fact) and you can Video Chat to other iChat Users that Google or Jabber IDs (GoogleTalk is a Jabber server).
It will not however Video chat to the Standalone PC app of the same name or to anyone using the Chat feature in the Google Mail Web page (Different Protocols)
You can use other web sites to do Browser to Browser Video chats
See the options 9 through 11 (12 is now defunct) and MeBeam is now called Koowy.
These options need Flash to be enabled in your Browsers (both ends) and it will give you a Pop up to Click Allow for access to the Camera (Which you may also need to chose in one of the tabs)
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Video chat & Screensharing unavailable with Jabber account in Messages

Dear all,
I use Messages to connect to 2 Jabber services: Google Chat and Facebook Chat.
I've read that Messages can deliver Screensharing and Video Chatting services for Jabber account. However I've never seen this option next to friends' name in Buddy Lists (seperate list). And whenever I select a friend's id (in GChat or FChat), there's always one available action possible: start conversation, and the buttons for starting video chat or screensharing (at the bottom of the buddy list window) are always greyed-out.
After much reading on this site I've still not found out the answer. Can someone helps me on this point ?
Thanks a lot,
M

HI,
A Jabber specific App or a Web Browser with the Google Video Chat Plug-in can do Video chats using the Jingle Protocol that Jabber apps use.
At one time Google seemed to use Flash to do Video chats and there have been reported conflicts with having both Flash and the Google Plug-in active for your web browser.
To state this another way.
Jabber apps tend to be a collection of modules. One of these is the Jingle Library for Video Chats.
Google include this Protocol in their Video Plug-in for web Browsers.
I don't have a Facebook account and cannot tell you if Facebook uses Flash or a similar plug-in for web browsers.
iChat and Messages use a protocol called Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to make Audio Only, Video and Screen Sharing Connections.
SIP is used with Voice over IP apps (VoIP) such as software phones that can use SIP.
Skype also uses SIP but is not compatible with iChat or Messages
What this means is that iChat/Messages will Video or Audio Only or Screen Share to other Macs using iChat or Messages apps irrespective if they are using Jabber based or AIM based names/IDs
What it will not do is connect to PCs using the standalone App called GoogleTalk or to Web Browser logins (on any Platform) of Jabber apps on any platform.
So a Login to Google Chat via a Login to Google Mail's Web Page or iGoogle with the Video Plug-in is likely to show you your Buddies available for Video chats where as iChat to Messages will not.
As Facebook is also a Jabber server the same things will apply.

What networks can i video chat with?

I know i can chat with jabber and gmail talk users. However I would like to be able to utilize the video features of iChat. What other networks can i use that will allow the full functionality of video support in ichat?

Hi,
The Jabber Side will work in Video, iChat to iChat user.
You can also use an Apple ID (@mac.com or @Me.com) or an AIM name and you can then Video chat to other iChat users logged in to the AIM servers as well as AIM 5.9 or AIM 5.5 ON Windows XP AND THE Trillian Application on PCs that can also use the AIM servers as a base.
If you have other Macs and they have iChat open you can Video to them over the Bonjour Buddy list. (Although not if both Macs are logged in as Jef A. (your Mac User Account name) as the name in the Address Book on both).

Best Way to Video Chat iMac-to- PC

What is the best way to video chat between my wife's iMac and her mom's Vista PC? I was going to use Windows Live on the PC and Messenger on the iMac, but after installing Messenger and setting up a personal account, discovered that Messenger for Mac with a personal account does not support video; IM only! Crap. So, before I start installing other applications on either computer, and setting up accounts all over the place, I am hoping for some solid advice on the best way to go. My preference is to install the least applications on either computer, so anything we can do with what's already there is preferred.
Option 1 is to use Windows Live on the PC (it's ready to go) and put something on the iMac that will work with that. But, I can't find anything that will.
Option 2 is use iChat on the iMac, and install something on the PC. What works? What is best?
Option 3 is install Skype on both. Looks like that will work, but will it??
Thanks!!

iChat can use a GoogleMail ID as a an Jabber ID in iChat and then it will Video chat to other iChat users that are also using a GoogleMail ID.
iChat uses just one set of Video and Audio codecs whether you are starting from the AIM Buddy List (the ones that login to the AIM server even if the Screen Name is from Apple) or a Jabber one or the Bonjour one.
Jabber servers on the whole (if they are doing Video and Audio) are using their own codecs called Jingle.
GoogleMail Video form their web page does something different in that it uses Flash to control your Camera and mic via the Web Browser.
It appears that this will however connect to PC users using the GoogleTalk App.
The TokBox site allows you to at least link your current MSN, Yahoo, AIM or Jabber IDs (Shows you separate Buddy Lists) and uses Flash like the GoogleMail web page.
I have not used it enough to see if it will Video form the Web Page to an App or if the other person also has to use a Web Browser.

Video chat disable internet sharing

I've been searching the boards for video chat problems in iChat. Just got a MBP and that along w/ the PMG5 I've been trying some video chatting. No luck, kept on getting "no response" errors. No luck until I found one post that said to turn off internet sharing. Who'd have thought. It worked, now both are working just fine.

My intent is to disable it in a customized image to deploy to my user environment. I'm not currently restricting administrative access to my user base, so while I understand that whatever I would be able to do with such an approach would not prevent them from re-enabling it, it would keep my basic users from trying to use this feature.

Video Chat Help

Every time i want to video chat it tells me there is an error. It use to work but it just stopped working. Whenever i try to video chat it says "iChat encountered errors while communicating with participants on this chat." how do i fix it?

Install Quicktime 7.4 on both machines, switch your modem on/off and check if you can start a one way video chat.
Audio chats require a microphone and a 56-Kbps Internet connection.
Video chats require an iSight camera (built-in or external), USB video class (UVC)
camera, or FireWire DV camcorder; and 128-Kbps upstream and downstream Internet connection.
Photo Booth and backdrop effects require an Intel Core Duo or faster processor.
Backdrop effects when using a DV camcorder require fixed focus, exposure, and white balance.
Some iChat features offer better performance and quality with higher system capabilities.
