    Can anyone suggest an application that will allow two users, one on XP the other on OS X, to communicate using webcams. MSN Messenger on XP supports video but the Mac version doesn't seem to. Anyone got any ideas?

    Thanks

    aMSN is a msn client that will work with msn network

    AIM will work on both (ichat on the mac)

    Yahoo Chat works fine for cams

    Enjoy.

    aMSN wont video-chat with the latest Messenger though.

    I've yet to find a satisfactory solution, so I end up booting into XP specifically to video-chat.

    i have aMSN and Skype on my macbook and both work sending video from my iSight camera. i reccomend aMSN, the video on skype tends to be more choppy than aMSN. just make sure you have the latest version aMSN and you should be fine. im chatting to people with MSN 7.5 on windows and its fine
