indicator light tells you iSight is on. Click the video icon of a buddy and you’re ready to
videoconference with other iChat AV users in real-time full-motion video. Your iMac

 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
