Sending Video One-Way

If a friend has iChat AV but doesn’t have a camera, you can send video one-way.

Your friend can see and hear you, and if she has a microphone, you can hear her.

n

Select a buddy in the iChat AV Buddy List. Then choose Buddies > Invite to One-Way

Video Chat.

If you like, you can open a text chat with the person at the same time by double-

clicking her name in the Buddy List.

Audio Conferencing

If a friend has a microphone, you can talk using iChat AV and the iSight camera’s

built-in microphone. iSight must be connected and turned on. If your computer has

a built-in or external microphone, you can use that, too.

n

In iChat AV, click the phone icon next to a buddy in your Buddy List and wait for a reply.

A visual gauge shows your sound level. Make some noise to see the gauge rise.

When the person accepts your invitation, you can use the volume slider to adjust

speaker volume. Click the microphone button if you don’t want the person to hear you.

During an audio chat, the other person isn’t able to see you.
