how can i set Messages to auto answer video chats?

I used to be able to have iMessages and iChat auto-answer incoming video chat/calls. I use this to communicate with staff who may not be able to quickly accept the incoming event.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Hi,


The AppleScript for this is still there.

It can be set in Messages Menu > Preference > General Section in the bottom drop down.


The Sound/alerts pane has gone in Mavericks and sound can now only be changed for "Messages Received".

Although I must admit to not trying it I have presumed the AppleScript would then only work for Text Invites.


Having said that the AppleScript should be able to run as a separate even like an App from the Dock.

The Drop Down in Messages has an Option to Show In Finder effectively.
