Hi,


If this is to Google or Jabber Buddies that are not using iChat then it is working as expected.


Jabber app and Google run a Jabber Server for GoogleTalk use a different Protocol to connect Video and Audio Chats.


So Buddies logged in via a Web Browser to GoogleMail and iGoogle pages to chat (using a Browser Plug-in) cannot connect nor can those using the PC Standalone App of the same name (GoogleTalk).


The same applies to Facebook Buddies (they are also Jabber Buddies)

Or those Jabber Buddies on other servers.


On iChat 6 that offers the Yahoo option the same thing applies.


It works iChat to iChat.
