How do I do a screen/desktop share on iMessage?

I used to use iChat to share my desktop with friends, but I do not know or have not been able to do it using iMessage. Does anyone have any insight into this?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Hi,


Go to the Window Menu > Buddies (CMD + 1)

This is a combined Buddy list by default


Highlight Buddy.

Use Buddies menu like before (or Bottom of Buddy list icon)


It will work AIM to AIM or Jabber to Jabber but not with iMessages and yahoo as they don't do A/V chats.
