Hello...so I got a brand new Macbook Pro and immediately downloaded
Microsoft Messenger went to use the PC to PC voice option and it was
not there. Anyone have any idea if this option is available with
Messenger in some other way, or if it is even possible. I am very
disappointed that I cannot talk to friends via Messenger on my Mac.

Hi,

Messenger for Mac does not support video chat. It may happen someday, but
until then, you will have to use one of the following open-source
Messenger clones:

It's the same case for the voice feature. I wasn't aware it was available
on the Windows version of Messenger, but it's definitely not available on
the Mac version.
