Ever since Tyler got his new Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro, we’re been dying to do a three-way video conference using iChat. For some reason our first couple of attempts were unsuccessful. However, last night we were able to pull it off and here are the results.

I love my mac.

In our previous attempts, it would only allow one-to-one video chats. The option to add a person to the chat was grayed out. We discovered that the key to being able to do multi user video chats was that you had to have the “multiple video camera icon” ( ) next to your name. At first only Tyler had it, but then it showed up on Dylan’s as well. But for everything we tried, it wouldn’t show up on mine. Then all of a sudden last night mine displayed the icon and we were able to video conference. The only difference I’ve been able to think of is that last night I was already logged into AOL using Adium when I opened iChat. Perhaps it was just a fluke, but ever since then mine has been enabled.
