Videoconferencing with iChat AV
When you open iChat AV, the camera indicator light turns on. Click the video icon of a
buddy to videoconference with that iChat AV user in real-time full-motion video. Your
MacBook also has a built-in microphone, so you have both voice and video support for
iChat AV videoconferences.
To use the built-in iSight to videoconference, you must have the following:
 A .Mac, America Online (AOL), or AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) account (required for
iChat AV).
 A broadband Internet connection using a DSL or cable modem, or a local area
network (LAN). A dial-up Internet connection doesn’t support this activity.
