I found some answers here:Apple – Support – Discussions – kichat: FAQ 3 – How do I get Video and …
January 2, 2007 at 5:28 pm in reply to: Video chat works, but freezes…and question about default device choices #156183operafluteMemberWell, it looks like the audio issue is on my buddy’s end. But here’s an intersting twist: when I was using 6.0 I could “talk” with my ichat buddies (although my window would freeze up as described in the original post – windows would freeze up whether I was talking to ichat or a windows AIM user, btw). But now that I’m on 5.9 (where the windows don’t freeze up) I can’t “talk” with my ichat buddies. It says they don’t support talk. I thought 5.9 was supposed to be MORE compatible with ichat.
Suggestions? Maybe I should start a new thread with this issue…January 2, 2007 at 2:22 am in reply to: Video chat works, but freezes…and question about default device choices #156182operafluteMemberOkay – here’s the latest. I installed 5.9 and voila – the windows do not freeze! But in a little test, my buddy can hear me, but I can’t hear my buddy in either talk or video. I went through the video/audio tuner, and it say everything is a-ok, but, it’s not!
FYI – I can hear fine in Skype.January 1, 2007 at 3:12 pm in reply to: Video chat works, but freezes…and question about default device choices #156181operafluteMemberI just started using AIM, so I’ve never used 5.9. Maybe I should try that – can one still download it?
I thought it funny that I had 2 webcam options and only one webcam! The non-VFW selection works fine, btw. Or… maybe not! Maybe that’s my problem! I seem to remember that the VFW version didn’t work at all. I’ll have to retest it, though.January 1, 2007 at 12:27 am in reply to: Video chat works, but freezes…and question about default device choices #156180operafluteMemberHere’s an update-
It freezes when I “talk” too. I can use the other programs on my computer, and can contine to “talk” but can’t access any other other part of AIM: I can’t adjust talk volume/mute, send or view IM (although I do receive IM’s, I just can’t click the window to see them.) The only way to get out is Ctrl-Alt-Del.
This is annoying!operafluteMemberYes, I am starting to come to that same conclusion – right now I’m thinking of sticking with Gaim, and maybe using Sight Speed for video. But I like the idea of WLM (for the “Share webcam option”) – although will the mac version of MSN allow me to video chat with iMac of friends?
Many thanks!operafluteMemberYeah, I downloaded AIM today – sigh, I HATE it! I wonder if I can convince the rest of my world to move to something else…
Even more frustrating – some friends are on mac (ichat) why oh why isn’t there an ichat for windows??? That would solve everything…
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to manage this compatibility issue? There’s no ichat for windows, and I’m not sure that mac windows mgr will support webcam…operafluteMemberThat doesn’t work with AIM, though, does it?
operafluteMemberDid you go into AIM settings and set the default device for Enhanced MEssenging? I just hooked up a Creative Webcam, and for whatever reason I am given Creative Webcam Live! and Creative Webcam Live (VFW) but only the first choice works…
operafluteMemberThanks! I too, thought it’d be silly to see yourself offline, but I thought it odd that it would mark myself “away” when I clicked “invisible.”
I’m currently using 1.5.0 – I’ll wait until they’re done testing the beta and they release the official 2.0 before downloading that.operafluteMemberAha – instead of using my WM screen name, I just use my regular (earthlink,not hotmail – don’t have a hotmail acct) email address plus Miscrosoft Passport Network password.
ThanksoperafluteMemberI just type in my screen name… then it adds the @hotmail
I don’t have an “@” to add to my screen name for windows messenger
At least not that I know of!operafluteMemberExactly. But I can’t. Keeps trying to log me into MSN, adding @hotmail to my screen name.
operafluteMemberYes – I vote for a Gaim forum – don’t care where it is! I’m new to Gaim, and, although I like it, I find that the “help” out there isn’t really helpful, when one does have a question. A forum here would do the trick!
