well my sister has an apple macbook and so do i; and we can do video chat just fine.
but when i try to do video chat with anyone else who doesnt have an apple, it doesn't work.
is my webcam broken or does apple just make thier laptop like that?
can i do anything to fix it?
thanks

You can do something. Get rid of your Mac and get a Toshiba.

haha, maybe mac`s arent easily compatible with others? im not sure.

hmm, well what program/website are you using for video chatting?

I also want to know.

I've been able to video chat on ichat, skype, and FB's chizzat on my macbook, with people who don't have macbooks (they have PCs). Make sure you're using the right settings. Sometimes if you're using aim, their aim might not be compatible with yours (especially if you're using iChat).

Your anti-mac bias makes you look like a retard.

oh, well i am using the aim setting on ichat...what do i need to change to be able to make the two aims compatible?

It not necessarily yours. It might be an issue on the other end - their aim might not be compatible in regards to directly connecting to your aim, in video chat. I know it happens with some of my friends who use PCs. In which case, you would need to use a different program. I only video chat with people on ichat who have macs, but I can video chat on other programs with people who have macs and people who don't.

what programs do you use?

Skype. I was able to webcam with someone using a pc, when i was on ichat though. I guess it just depends.


Anyways, I used skype. It's a little bit different, but virtually the same thing. :] And you can voice chat too... Like voice chat with multiple people, but you can only webcam w/ 1 person at a time. D:;
