i have been able to use the tinychat.com online video/audio chat rooms but recently my webcam has nto been functioning properly on that site. My Photo Booth, Skype, etc.. all work perfectly fine with my webcam (built in iSight on my Macbook Pro) but I have also tried downloading ManyCam from ManyCam.com to try to revive my somehow lost iSight usage on tinychat. Instead of getting a small preview in the iSight box, i get the ManyCam logo and can no longer use my camera. I have read in another thread about some problems with flash so i put the GoogleTalk/Video/Voice plugins into the trash and did a "secure empty trash" (thats what i understand to be an "uninstall") and i am still having the same problem.

I am also having a similar problem with the built in iSight and Tinychat.
When I sign in to broadcast I click "allow" and then it shows the correct video in the preview, but then when it takes me back to the chat, it either doesn't show up, or only shows the microphone image and doesn't broadcast video.
Not sure what the problem is. Any help?

That looked like it was going to help. I configured the iSight camera, configured the microphone, unchecked the "Enable hardware acceleration" box, but it is still popping up as either static (snow) or just the microphone icon rather than streaming the video from my built-in iSight
I cant seem to click "allow" on the flash prompt.
I configure the settings to be "Built-in iSight" for the camera

I'm having this exact same problem. I recently installed the newest System Update. Maybe that played a roll in my iSight acting strange?
