Ricardo:

I am using MSN Messenger 6.0.3 for mac and I don't see anything on there to allow us to use the isight camera. On the other hand, iChat has that functionality and so does Yahoo Messenger.

You don't. Messenger doesn't support your webcam. Use aMSN instead.

Well for me and I am no computer expert by all means but amsn does work but there is a little button above your message area where you have to click on to let the other person except your cam and it has worked for me so far but unfortunatley still no mic

Yes,

I know this button, and I click there, after this, I can see my own image, but the other person, can't see me and amsn says me that the connection with the web cam is canceled.

Add me in msn, so we can test togheter. ricardojanuario@gmail.com is my msn.

I just discovered another problem.

My contacts can't see that I have a webcam, and the checkbox to allow it appears to me as unchangeable.

Perhaps you should post your question in the aMSN forums:

Hi,

If I have a MacBook and i use an MSN that works for all macs and lets you use our isight.

Do a google search for Murcury Messenger Download.

If you download correctly you will find out how do use your cam easily.

Make sure if you have a mac dont download the windows version or vice versa.

Good luck,
