    It was recently announced that Adium 2.0 (Leopard only) will feature audio and video at long last. Just looking at a post on the Adium blog today though, and apparently a plug-in called MeBeam has been released to provide A/V for Adium through a web browser as a stop-gap measure. Haven't tested it out yet but if it works properly I think a lot of people are going to be very happy :D

    Edit: Anyone who read my previous edits, don't worry. I shut down the computer, booted up again and now everything's hunky dorey! :D

    Built-in iSight wasn't being detected by OS X. I was testing out how it worked with MSN on Windows over VMWare Fusion and I think what I did was shut down Fusion before I had fully disconnected the iSight from the virtual machine, leaving it in limbo more or less. I shut down the MacBook and started up again (restart didn't work) and everything's fine now.

    Unfortunately this still isn't the most convenient method and really isn't anything new, it just provides an option in Adium to automatically launch your browser and set up a MeBeam video chat room, then send the link to whoever you're talking to. Quality isn't great either. Strangely the quality is better when you're sending video from XP in Fusion than from OS X using the same iSight :confused:

    I'll be sticking with Skype until Messenger for Mac 7.0 comes out (or Adium 2.0 if/when I upgrade to Leopard)
