Use Messages or iChat. See the built-in help for instructions.
Hi,
In Mountain Lion the Messages app with an AIM or Jabber account can Screen Share with an Audio Chat along side to another Mac that is using the same Service (AIM or Jabber) type.
Apple ID issued by Apple are valid AIM Screen Names (those ending in @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com)
Jabber names can include Google Mail IDs with "Talk" enabled on the Google web site settings.
Or Facebook IDs can be used after you enable "Chat" at your Facebook Settings.
(There are also many other jabber server you could register an ID).
It is AIM to AIM or Jabber to Jabber.
The Apple IDs need to keep their passwords to 16 characters or Less as this is the AIM server limit.
@me.com and @icloud.com names can not be used in iChat 5 or earlier. (it's to do with a Login iChat 6 and Messages make to Apple that then allows AIM to "see" the Password that does not happen in earlier versions)
