Options for Video from a Mac to a PC using MSN This means that you can only use the transport enabled connection to Text chat. Although the people are working on Video and Audio codecs of their own they do not work with the ones iChat uses. IChat has three Buddy lists (AIM, Jabber and Bonjour for Mac to Mac at the same LAN location such as your house)Īdding MSN or other IM names (Yahoo or similar) has to be done on the Jabber Buddy list - which means you have to get a Jabber name and arrange this to be with a server that does Transports. This is basically an iChat to iChat connection and the Buddy list you started from does not matter. In this thread although the originating question was different. The whys and wherefores of the different Video and Audio codecs are is a list of other options including aMSN and Mercury Messenger that can Video but not Audio to MSN users on a PC The third is a link to a list of Public Jabber servers and lists which ones do what. The second is the AllForces site that tell you how to set up Transports The first is a How to by Jabber Australia (they no longer do Transports) This means on the whole that your Jabber ID has to be with a Jabber server that runs transports and that may involve using a third party App to register as that function is not included in iChat. As has been said a MSN name can be used with iChat on the Jabber side via a Jabber Server that has "transports" to do so.
