New iChat Leopard is more Fun

Filled with cool new features, iChat turns any video chat into an event. Chat from anywhere, or just look like it with the new video backdrops. Transform your video chats using new Photo Booth effects. Put on a photo slideshow, click through a Keynote presentation, or play a movie, in full screen. In fact, you can show any file on your system that works with Quick Look. With iChat screen sharing, you and your buddy can observe and control a single desktop, iChat automatically initiates an audio chat when you start a screen sharing session, so you can talk things through while you’re at it. You can now chat for the record, you can save your audio and video chats for posterity with iChat recording. Before recording starts, iChat notifies your buddies and asks for their permission to record. When you’re done chatting, iChat stores your audio chats as AAC files and video chats as MPEG-4 files so you can play them in iTunes or QuickTime.
iChat still works with AIM, the largest instant messaging community in the U.S. You and your buddies can be either AIM or .Mac users. Text, audio, and video chat whether your buddies use a Mac or a PC. Sign in with your AIM account, and all your buddies appear in your iChat buddy list. iChat 4.0 is included in Apple Mac OS X Version 10.5 Leopard with over 300 new and enhanced features to OS X. Order Leopard here.

Your Buddy Doesn’t Need a Camera

If your buddy doesn’t have a camera connected, but you do, you can still have a one-way video chat. That way, your buddy gets to see and hear you on his end. The only downside — you don’t get to see him.
Here’s how it works: Click on your buddy’s name in the Buddy List, and then go under the Buddy menu and choose Invite to One-Way Video Chat. Again, your buddy will see and hear you, but not the other way around. Well, technically, if he has a Mac with a built-in microphone (many Mac models fall in this category), then you’ll be able to hear your buddy, too.

Sending Huge Attachments via iChat

Most email servers have a limit to how large an attachment they’ll accept. Most limit an attachment size to 5MB (some even less), and if you email somebody a 6MB file, it’s probably going to get “kicked back” to you as undeliverable. Want to get around that? Use iChat instead. Once you have an iChat session started with someone, you can go under the Buddies menu and choose Send File. Navigate your way to the file you want to send, click OK, and the file will be sent to the person you’re chatting with (and a link to download your file will appear in their iChat window). No matter how big the file size is, it’ll get there.
