Default Macs and MSN messenger 6.0.3

Anyone using it with webcams?

Someone sent me an invitation to 1 tonight and the request didn't show up. That and I can't see any setting for it in my MSN.


If their not supported, anyone know of a prog that will talk to Messenger and allow webcams?



And before we get rude comments, not its not for the new ad's thats popped up, but chatting to my family in USA.

Even the latest version of Messenger for Mac does not have webcam support, which will be why you did not see a request to initiate a webcam chat, nor why you cannot find any settings for it.

I cannot comment on aMSN as I've never used it, but you could also look into using Skype, as that will do video, but both parties would need to setup a skype account, which is free.

I've tried various things to get a Mac to connect with PC using webcam and none succesfully - best I got was able to see but only hear one way. If you get any better please let me know!
