I just bought my first macbook pro and have found that I am unable to use my isight camera to video conference with my friends. I know there is a programme that can be used but have forgotten the name of it!!! Can anyone enlighten me???

I'm sure this is an easy one, but for a mac newbie there is no substitute for the experienced users on this forum site.

Help!!!

it depends what program your friends are using.

AIM = iChat or AIM client
MSN = aMSN
Skype = Skype

I'm using messenger. Found an app called mercury but the framerate is disappointing. I would like to stay with messenger as i have been using it for years. Any other ideas??

Bear in mind that I have limited experience with macs!
