VChat is a CU-Seeme video conferencing client for use with the Apple MacOS X operating system. Download the most recent version of VChat now.

With VChat you can participate in group conferences by connecting to a CU-SeeMe reflector or you can also have one-on-one conferencing with another person.

Join in the fun with VChat and your Apple iSight or supported USB web cam.

Beta versions of VChat are set to expire approximately one month after release. This lowers the support effort required in maintaining older versions of the code.

VChat now displays a small advertising banner when you are connected to a reflector. This has been introduced on a trial basis and may be removed in the future.

Here are some key features of "VChat":
Connection to a reflector.
View other client videos.
View your own video.
Send Video using either MJPEG or H263 codecs.
Send a single still image or a 'slide-show'.
Receive chat, both public and private.
Send chat, both public and private.
Direct Connection to another CU-SeeMe user.
Send and Receive Audio

What's New:
Fixed crash when starting with no camera attached.
Fixed main screen Brightness control.

Requirements:
A Macintosh computer running Mac OS X 10.2.5 or later with a working Internet connection. VChat may work with earlier releases of Mac OS X, but that is untested.
A working Web cam is required to send live video. VChat works with the Apple iSight web camera.
If you have a USB camera, it most likely will not work unless there is a driver available.

Drivers for many popular cameras are available at IOXperts web site, http://www.ioxperts.com/
Macam web site http://webcam osx.sourceforge.net/
If you do not have a camera, you are able to send still images. VChat will recognise most common picture formats such as JPEG and GIF.
