suleiman Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 i've been pretty upset at AOL for not releasing a version for OS X with video and audio chat capabilities. The iSight on my MBP is pretty much rendered useless right now.

suleiman Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Actaully jgrimes, AOL locked out Mac iChat users from doing voice/video chats with users of the new AIM "Triton" Beta (which most people are now using). Voice and Video only works with people on AIM 5.9. http://mezic.com/tiburos/2005/12/15/triton...pray-for-skype/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17505-universal-aim-or-something-that-runs-on-the-same-network-as-aim/#findComment-113387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgrimes80 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Thanks, I better tell my family and friends not to update it...

scottlewallen Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 iChat works again with AIM, as of version 6.1 - just tested it out. The video quality is crappy, but at least it ain't broken anymore!

3nigma Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 iChat is the native option- works perfect w/ AOL/AIM network, and allows you to use iSight cameras. I video-chat with my brother in the UK all the time on it with crystal-clear video/audio. For an outside option that can log onto multiple clients, Adium is the one that everybody uses and stands by. No need to use anything other than these two clients. -3nigma Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17505-universal-aim-or-something-that-runs-on-the-same-network-as-aim/#findComment-362202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashaund Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Another vote for Adium. I used iChat forever, but once I started using Adium regularly, I don't want to go back to iChat! Also, you can dress Adium up however you want. They have an awesome Xtras community to add all kinds of functionality to it. Growl is just awesome...give it a shot. I've used Fire before too...it's pretty cool. It's just whatever you like. The beauty of shareware/freeware programs...
