Video conference &msn messenger

I'm trying to figure it out -a simple way how to keep in touch with a friends that are using Yahoo and MSN messenger and at the same time be able to have a video conference as well?
Help appreciated.
Angelo

i dont think theres any one program that supports yahoo and msn AND video.
aMSN and mercury messenger are the only msn clients for macs with video support. i use amsn...just like messenger
if video is not a big issue, you want both yahoo and msn in one then go with adium, you will like it.

Hi,
Do you mean Window Live Messenger or it's Mac equivalent MSN for Mac ?
Actually the app comes with Office
In the Microsoft Office X (2001 version) it was still called MSN Messenger
In Office 2008 it was called Microsoft Messenger.
The current one that can also be downloaded as a standalone app also comes with Office 2011 is also called Microsoft Messenger.
This is version 8 and this version is the only one that can Video Chat as a standalone app.
Version 7 required you were in a mixed environment (with PCs) connected to the correct sort of Windows Server.

IChat + MSN Messenger Contacts + iSight = Video Conferencing

I have recently converted my windows-based laptop to a MacBook. Thus, I am very new to this new system. I need some assistance or guidance as I am unsure of how I can:
1) use iChat or equivalent with video conferencing features (because MSN Messenger for Mac does not have important feature) to video conference with my contacts in MSN Messenger for Windows?
2) still be able to chat with my contacts in MSN Messenger for Windows, without them installing iChat or equivalent?
3) use the built-in iSight to video conference with them?
4) configure iChat or equivalent to chat with my contacts if all of the above are possible?
Much appreciated.

1) If video conferencing is so important you could use skype or a jabber client that supports both video and audio. Your friends have to install skype or a jabber client too though.
2) With a jabber account and iChat you can chat with your buddies on msn, yahoo, aim google-talk, ICQ etc. This is done through Jabber-gateways or transports. JabberLive! ( http://jabberlive.org ) has many gateways you can register with.
3) Possible through skype or a jabber client that supports both video and audio.
4) If you want to chat with your buddies using iChat you definitely have to get a jabber account. ( I can recommend http://jabberlive.org)

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 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?

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.

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?

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.

Using Voice and Vedio messaging on MSN Messenger

hi,
how can i talk and have vedio conference with someone on MSN messenger from my MSN messenger on Powerbook ( possibly using built in mic )

Hey
To cut a long story short, you can't. This has been a particular gripe now for some time, Microsoft have put off adding either voice or video to Messenger for Mac despite the PC version having had it for years. There are a number of options and work arounds available to achieve the same outcome however.
1. If you want to stay with MSN, you can download a third party client called Mercury Messenger, best place to get it is www.versiotracker.com. This will give you acceptable video but, alas, no voice.
2. To get sound, the best option at the moment is going to be a VOIP service such as skype, you could use that in addition to Mercury to give you both voice and video.
3. The best option is definitely going to be iChat AV if you have a firewire cam (isight for example). It will give you voice and video, it just means trying to convince your friends to swith over to AOL Instant Messenger if they're using PCs. If you have a USB cam, this wont work without a piece of software called ichatUSBcam which you can get from the same site as above. It does cost money though, but you get a trial period to see if it works.
4. If you can hold on a bit longer, there is another option coming up, Skype are working on adding video for Mac and that would give you an option similar to iChat but without requiring a firewire cam.
Hope that's of some help to you.
Chris

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).

MSN Messenger stops Creative Mediasource Pla

My 24 Li've External card works perfectly well with Media source player - until - I log on to MSN Messenger v.7. Then my PC tells me there is no sound device installed. Device manager tells me the device is working probably. I am fed up using System Restore. Any help guys?

In Device Manager under Sound, Video and Game Controllers I have: - Audio CodecsLegacy Audio Di'versLegacy Video Capture devicesMedia Control DevicesRealtek AC'97 AudioSound Blaster Li've! 24 bit externalVideo Codecs?Sound Blaster Li've properties says that the device is working properly - which it is at the moment. The loss of sound is frequent, on booting up. Once it is on it does not "fail" whilst in use. It?comes back after using system restore, re-installing the soundblaster software or sometimes just on rebooting.
?The Sound Blaster is always shown as "working properly" even when it is not?

Macbook Pro built-in iSight in Adium and MSN Messenger?

All of my contacts (about 100 or so) have MSN messenger accounts. Is there a way for me to use my built-in iSight as a webcam in Adium or MSN Messenger? It just seems pointless otherwise since I only know 2 or 3 other people with .mac or AIM accounts that I could chat to via iChat.
Thanks

Hi Statts,
Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
You will need aMSN to Video over the MSN service.

IChat AV 3.1.1 (v429) Video Conference Problem :(

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with iChat and I hope you can help me guys. I don't know what to do, I never had this problem before. When I start an video conference I can see myself, the picture is kinda blur though..I can't see the person I am having the video conference with and the other way around..can anyone tell me what's wrong. My iChat was working fine a couple of days ago and all of the sudden it stopped working..
I re-installed ichat and the problem still persists.
I changed my quick time streaming settings to 1.5 Mbps..and it's still not working..
Please can anyone help me to solve this problem??
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

Hi everyone ,
how are you doing? Thanks for your help Defcom(UK) ,that was the missing piece of my puzzle. If you were here I'd give you a big kiss. Well, maybe not.. I think a hug would do just as good.
Fortunately, I noticed the problem right after installing iGlasses, so I was able to figure out the problem immediately. I deinstalled iGlasses, unfortunately deinstallation of iGlasses won't fix it either. What you have to do is deinstall iChat and remove all preferences,logs & iChat folders. The best and easiest way to do it, is to use an application like cleanapp, you can find more information on cleanapp at http://synium.de/cleanapp/index.html .
So after you have wiped off iChat completele with all files and settings from your system, download iChat or reinstalled it from your Mac Os X Tiger dvd. And here is the very important part, after you have installed iChat again usually it should work but in case your problem still persits, you should do what Defcon(UK) suggested.. you need to apply the Intel Combo update..so your iChat messenger is upto date..Voilà tout..the problem is solved..
Thank you once again for your help Defcom(UK) ..
Have a nice day..
Kind Regards,
Stu

Voice/Video features of Messenger not working - PLEASE HELP

I am running Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Messenger 5.1 (not MSN Messenger) and I have a WRT54G v5, f/w 1.01. I cannot use the video, voice or file transfer features of Messenger when connected to the internet via the router. Connected to the DSL modem without the router, I can use these Messenger features. I tried twice today with Linksys live chat help, but did not get anywhere.
Can someone please help me with this? If so, please be specific.
Thanks.

Conflict between using msn messenger in offline mode and full screen mode

I don't want to be visible in my msn messenger for the simple reason that I don't want to get chats all the time, but when I'm in off-line mode in msn messenger and I open a full screen application, immediately the messenger goes online. This happens with full screen games and while watching a youtube video in full screen. Why is this and how can I fix this?
Andreas

Your profile indicates you are running Tiger.
Please update it or repost in Tiger forum.
Thanks.
Since msn messenger is not an Apple product, you might also check to see if there are any forums in the MS area.
This might be a good start
