Chapter 3 Using Your iMac G5 29

Using the Built-in iSight Video Camera

With the built-in iSight video camera, you can video conference with other iChat AV

users in real-time full-motion video. Your iMac G5 also has a built-in microphone, so

you have both voice and video for your iChat AV video conference.

Video Conferencing

To use the built-in iSight to video conference, you must have the following:

Â A .Mac, America Online (AOL), or AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) account

(required for iChat AV)

Â A broadband Internet connection using a DSL or cable modem, or a local

area network (LAN). You can't use a dial-up Internet connection.

Â Someone to video conference with (for example, you can video conference with

other iChat AV users)

To start a video conference:

1 Open iChat AV.

2 Click the Camera button next to a buddy in your buddy list.

This illuminates the green LED light next to your built-in iSight to indicate you are

recording video. This also sends an invitation to your buddy to accept your video

request and lets you preview how you look on camera. When a buddy accepts your

invitation, you can see them on your screen and you appear on their screen.

Video Conferencing With More Than One Buddy

You can video conference with up to three buddies at once. One buddy “hosts” the

video conference, and the others participate.
