iChat Streaming Icon software enables the creation of various iChat buddy icons using streaming video.
Are you tired of having a static buddy icon in iChat AV? Look no further than iChat Streaming Icon. This software works seamlessly with iChat AV to transform your boring buddy icon into a dynamic animation or video preview of yourself. And don't worry, it's compatible with any Quicktime compatible video camera, including iSight, iBot, USB, or DV Firewire cams.
One major advantage of iChat Streaming Icon is that it allows you to make use of your camera even when you're not in the middle of a video conference. Instead of letting it sit unused, project the video image onto your buddy icon. While the icon may be small, it's still more than enough to represent you without too much detail. This way people can see when you're away or in a bad mood.
But what if you don't have a camera? Not to worry, iChat Streaming Icon has you covered. By using any QuickTime readable animation file, you can make your icon dance. The application will loop through the animations and replace your buddy icon with each picture. It's as simple as Drag'n&Drop.
Not only is iChat Streaming Icon a versatile and easy-to-use program, it's also designed specifically for MacOS X. As a native application, it's small, fast, and includes all the extras you could ever want. Plus, it bypasses two major disadvantages of video chat in iChat AV - the need for both parties to have a camera and the need for both parties to have iChat AV. While the video streaming may not include sound, you can still chat as usual.
To use iChat Streaming Icon, you'll need a G5, G4, or G3 processor running at 600MHz or faster, an internet connection (56K modem supported), and iChat AV. Video input is optional but recommended. Whether you're looking to add a little extra personality to your buddy icon or want to bypass the need for a camera during video chat, iChat Streaming Icon is a must-try.
