How can I get a webcam to work with my Mac and any messenger program?
-
I have a Rocketfish webcam that seems to integrate well with my Macintosh PowerBook G4 computer. The computer recognizes the camera and I can see my image perfectly onscreen. However, when I want to send my image to my friend (who DOES NOT have a Macintosh) using Yahoo! messenger (or any other messenger program for that matter), the messenger program does not recognize that I have a webcam attached, and therefore does not give me the option to broadcast it. My friend can send me video -- no problem. But I can't send any. I am willing to buy a different webcam if that's necessary. (Unfortunately Apple's own iSight camera has been discontinued.) Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Answer:
The camera is probably not the problem. The software made for pc's is. It works ok mac to mac not mac to pc. Maybe try open source programs for a solution.
