The official Microsoft Messenger for Mac doesn't do web cam either... I just use Skype if I need to video!

Correction - that's because I didn't know ver 7 was out Will give it a go, cheers Andy!

Amsn works great, better than msn IMO and you can record your video chat too.

AMSN works a treat.

Youre best option is to use iChat with a AIM account or google tak

For video I use Skype, the new MSN client only support AV chat on corporate networks. The latest blog from Microsoft's Mac Business Unit said to expect a beta release with AV chat enabled around March time (although they had previously said to expect it this year).
