Microsoft Messenger for Mac

Which version of MSN Messenger for the mac are you running?

There are updates on the MS website, but with regarss to video, the following message was announced by MS

"Microsoft has responded, and the rumors of Messenger's demise were exaggerated-- Messenger 6.0 will be included with Office 2008, and Messenger 7.0 will have audio/video capabilities included, and will be beta testing soon."

So no development, till the new versions are released now.

Otherwise there are a number of MSN Messenger compatible clients, that may provide the features you are looking for.

Try the following for starters

Hopefully one of these, will have what your looking for, if I find one I will let you know.

Hope these help

Microsoft Messenger for Mac does not support video.

This is an Apple forum. For questions regarding MS Mac products, you should post your question on MS's own Mac discussions:

Hi,

I was wonering if you were ever successful with using video with microsoft messenger. My Dad wants to make the switch to an apple and likes to use MSN messenger and his webcam, to communicate with relatives.

Thanks!

Messenger for Mac currently does not support web cams/video.

Thanks for the response!!!!

The aMSN client supports audio/video.

These are questions about using MS products on Apple. So why isn't tis the right place?

I don't know. For me it takes maybe two seconds to sign in. Works even better than Microsoft Messenger.

Contact the aMSN support folks...

Is it possible to run Windows Live (with video and audio) on my MacBook Pro if I also have Windows loaded? I am thinking about getting Windows for this reason specifically, but I want to be sure that my web cam would be compatible before purchasing the software. All my family uses Windows Live, but also only use PC's.
