Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / December 2007iChat - Video not available
I'm noticing that lately several of my iChat contacts appear with a phone icon (audio connection) instead of a camera icon (video connection). Once I try to connection and then cancel the connection, the camera icon appears and we initiate a video chat. Bandwidth should not be a problem, and we're both on current Macbook Pros. No bandwidth limit is set on either computer. Any suggestions on resolving this would be appreciated. TIA! -c In article <9bc78a04-9fe9-4e8e-82ef-9c95f264a935@t1g2000pra.googlegroups.com>, > I'm noticing that lately several of my iChat contacts appear with a > phone icon (audio connection) instead of a camera icon (video [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > TIA! -c You are not alone. See: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5925261#5925261 Good luck. I've tried everything but no go. Think we have to wait until Apple sorts this out with a Leopard update.

Im not sure how iChat decides or determines that.

Yes but skype may have a different bandwidth requirement - certainly the video in iChat is much better suggesting it uses more. Ultimately if this is the issue then I don't see that you can do much about it anyway.
