How can I use my MacBook webcam over MSN?

I've tried Adium and aMSN but neither work

I'd really like it to work properly as none of my friends have iChat AV or anything.

Bit of a bodge but if i remember correctly parallels has an option to add the iSight camera as a USB device so that is a possibility, however untested.

The next release of Messenger will do this. Unfortunately I have no idea when this is happening.

at the moment Skype would be your best bet

Msn for mac doesn't support video chat yet

Skype works fine

I have just this second finished my first video chat with my brother! He has skype on his acer laptop I have it on my macbook

Works like a charm!

I dont think the standard version of aMSN works with cameras theres like a special version isnt there? or its an option which is off because its not very stable? Yahoo do and skype do video aswell as ichat and msn through Parallels or aMSN but microsofts msn and adium x dont support it although both have support it the pipe line, dates unknown and not soon.

I tried it with aMSN and my friend who was recieving it said he could just see a blank white screen
