Why are we unable to video chat between playbook and Phones? ..

Is this feature going to be incorporated? You can do it with facetime.....
Any thoughts surrounding this idea?

Any way to video chat between Messages and older Mac via iChat?

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday and am beginning to regret it - I discovered that I will no longer be able to help my parents troubleshoot their MacBook as they have an older MacBook with Leopard 10.5.8, and their MacBook is not upgradeable to Mountain Lion given its heritage (too old). Prior to my upgrade to Mountain Lion, when they needed help we would both launch iChat and I would ask to take control of their screen. Their account setup on iChat was through an AOL AIM username.
I looked into whether I could still launch a video sharing session with them using Messages from my end and they using iChat from their end (still with their AOL AIM username) but can find no evidence that that will work.
I am hoping that someone has figured out how to make all this work. I researched FaceTime and it doesn't appear that it supports video chatting/screen sharing.
My last ditch option will be to see if I can gain access to their machine via internet remote access - but I'd rather steer clear of that.
Anybody know how to make this work - video chat and remote screen control between my Mac running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and remote Mac running Leopard 10.5.8?

Apologies if this is what you linked to... I cannot open the link on my office PC.
Have you tried the ReelPortal app? This should be able to cover both of your needs: it allows video chat between Playbook and PC, and essentially broadcasts the video chat to a site. (I have not attempted to capture the broadcast). It's not the prettiest app out there, but does what you're looking for.

One way video chat between MAC and PC

My sister has latest version of AIM on her PC. We've tested it before and she was able to receive my audio and video signals. She could respond with audio only. She is now in a different state and suddenly she can only hear me. She receives no video. On my MAC, I see the video fine, and it says it's on a video chat with my sister. But she can only hear me. I have checked the preferences and it shows a 100% audio signal and 0% video. Can someone help?

HI Jenny,
She obviously unlpugged her camera to move.
She needs to do the tuning again

Why are my imported mp4 video files upside down and black and white?

I just started using Premiere Pro and anytime I import mp4 files they only play upside down and in black and white. I did not apply any video effects! How do I fix this? Thanks in advance!

Why can't i do video chats on my computer?

when i try to do a video chat my camera seems not to work

hernandez.sandra17 wrote: why can't i do video chats on my computer?
Because something is wrong.
To identify and correct the problem, start with the Help menu command for the software application that you are trying to use to create the video chat.

If everything but the camera works properly, troubleshoot the camera with http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090.
If you post back for more help, tell us:
(1) which Mac OS ( < About this Mac) you use.
(2) Also, tell us which specific application software version you are using. You can find the software application version information by using the "About application name" menu command once you launch the application. For example: if you launch FaceTime, use the FaceTime > About FaceTime menu command to see the Version info that appears in the dialog window that opens. If you are using more than one software application, give version information for each of them.

I am unable to video chat.

I recently downloaded Yosemite and ever since then, I have been unable to video chat. I have opened connection doctor and everything has a green check next to it. I do not know how to solve this problem. Please help!

Hi,
If it is doing Jabber Video chats then it should be able to to ones based on an AIM Buddy list.
The Jabber server you are listed with may well be "internal" as to where it is located but the Video chat will still make the connection via the Internet and the use of the SNATMAP server that Apple runs for this.
zweiner99 says there is a problem with his router based on what he is seeing in the Connection Doctor.
Ports.
Routers will needs these ports opened or allowed. UPnP is the usual method.
Port 5678 is where the Visible part of the invite goes (on Bonjour, AIM and Jabber).
When I say Visible I mean the bit the Buddy sees as an Invite.
The Process in iChat 4 though to Messages 8 in Yosemite then moves to port 16402 and it sends a SIP invite behind the scenes via the SNATMAP server.
This acts like a telephone operator manually connecting you.
A series of text based instructions are passed back and forth, "Calling", "Trying", "Ringing" and so forth.
If the chat connects successfully then the Connection Doctor at the Statistics option shows the data rate and Frame Rates.
If it fails then the same drop down tab shows the failure Log if it managed to grab one.
The Network tab shows what Messages (or iChat) thinks about your Router type and Connection Speed.
You can alter the connection Speed in the Bandwidth Setting in the Preferences > Video section.
If you have a very fast connection and your Buddy does not AND you have the None Setting in the Preferences > Video > Bandwidth Limit your can "overrun the Buddy" with data and the speed at which your end expects responses.
In some cases on very fast services the variance in that service can outrun the Buffering built in to the app.
The Buffering was designed when most people's internet speed was rarely above 500kbps or at the most T1 speeds (1500kbps)
Apple used to run test accounts that Auto-responded in Video chats so that you could test a Connection.
It might be worth trying the option in the Preferences > Accounts > AIM Accounts to "relay Video though the AIM Servers".
Whilst this is less secure than the Peer-to-Peer connection for normal Video chats it may provide some clues.

"Face Time" app for Video Chat between iPhone 3GS and PC?

Does anyone know of an iPhone app and/or PC application combo (besides Yahoo Messenger) that will support video chat between an iPhone 3GS and a PC (not a Mac)?
FYI, I can already do video chat without Face Time between my iPhone 3GS and an iPhone 4, over WiFi or cell, using Fring and a reverse angle mirror from ISeeU.
Thanks.

Video Chat via Playbook PIN's, having problems...

I have two Playbooks on OS2.0 sharing the same Blackberry ID. I'm trying to use Video Chat via Playbook PIN's and I'm not having any luck. Call attempts fail with "The person you called is not currently available".
- both Playbooks have Accept Calls On
- both Playbooks are on the same home wi-fi network, i.e. same router
- the router has firewall enabled (Toggling off the firewall doesn't seem to help and I'd rather have it on. Skype works from the desktop computer with firewall on.)
- in Contacts, both Playbooks show each other with green video chat icons. Turning off Accept Calls will actually change the state of the video chat icon to gray, as expected. (The state change doesn't update immediately, but after a failed call.) This tells me that the Playbooks are talking to RIM's servers?
- I'm not getting the "A Firewall is preventing Video Chat from connecting" or "Unable to Connect to Server" error messages. http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB26845 This leads me to believe that the Playbooks are able to see RIM's servers?
- Some people have reported that putting the Playbook in the DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) of the router works, but it's risky security-wise (The Playbook is open to the general internet.). My router only allows for one IP address in the DMZ, which isn't useful with my two Playbooks.
- The alternative to DMZ is port forwarding, which is more secure. My router only allows specific IP's to be used and since the Playbook IP's are dynamically allocated, setting this isn't helpful. http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB26816
Could someone with two Playbooks sharing the same Blackberry ID's please try to use Video Chat via Playbook PIN's and report whether it works or not? I'd like to isolate out whether it's a problem with Video Chat or my router/home wi-fi.
Thank you!

It won't work since they have the same blackberry ID.
I have tried many time and it won't work. Only the playbook that last connected to app world can use video chat.

You may have a problem with the video chip.
Here is how to tell...
Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Bootup will be longer.
Wait awhile while you harddrive is being checked.

Running in Safe mode leaves out some video drivers. Which results in your machine not using advanced video hardware. As luck would have it, you can run the safe mode video drivers in normal mode.

trying to video chat on Facebook and Skype but they both don't work with the camera people can just hear me

There is a certain minimum data rate your Internet service must support to do Video.
The little pilot light next to the camera will come on when the camera comes on. You can test out the camera with Photo Booth.

Since photo stream doesn't support videos, you would need to use an app to do this. Dropbox may be a good choice as I believe once enabled, all you have to do is open the app and it will automatically upload photos and videos taken since the last upload to your Dropbox account (see https://www.dropbox.com/help/289/en). If you aren't familiar with Dropbox, it's a very popular cloud service for hosting files and other media. Amazon just announced that its Cloud Drive service will soon support photos (http://9to5mac.com/2013/05/10/amazon-launches-cloud-drive-photos-app-for-iphone) /; perhaps it will also be extended to support videos at some point.
