iChat AV Question

I just upgraded to Panther and can now use iChat AV. When using it on my iMac it shows up with the telephone icon next to my name indicating that I can chat through audio. If I keep this enabled, is there anyway friends can easedrop and hear what I'm doing at any time? Or, can they only listen when I say "OK" to allow them to listen. I'd like to keep it enabled, but I just want to make sure that I will definately KNOW when they are listening.

Also, if I bought the iSight, is there anyway friends who are using Windows can see me or is it just something Mac users can see?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
No one can hear you unless you invite them to an audio chat or you accept an invite from someone else.
 
Currently there is no Windows audio/video connectivity with iChat AV. There are however some other cross-platform vid clients, like Yahoo messenger. With luck, maybe Apple will eventually release iChat AV for Windows.

However, you could always try setting up Quicktime Streaming Server, for a 1-way video broadcast visible to Mac or Windows users.
