Messenger compatability

[nippynorman]

Can anyone tell me if there is a cross platform messaging program that allows video conferencing between macs and pc's?

Thanks

Skype and aMSN work.

Doesn't iChat also work for this?

Usually but some people have problems with it. Might be their own fault not forwarding ports and whatnot but I haven't heard too many problems with Skype at least.

Hi thanks for the help guys

I tied MSN and it says it doesn't support video conversations

Can pc's run iChat or will it link with people running msn?

Ill get a copy of skype and try that though. I also tried Adium but that didn't work either.

PC's running XP and AOL's AIM can video chat with a Mac using iChat.

You need aMSN, not MSN. Get it here.

I have tried video conferencing iChat - AIM on Windows XP many times and it only worked once for 10 seconds. Skype is the best for x-platform video IMO.
