Full Version: Webcam for OSX
Im looking for a good webcam (but cheap) that will work with iChat and Yahoo messenger on OSX (its not for me)
I don't know about Yahoo! Messenger, but I am fairly sure there is a program around for OS X that allows you to use a USB webcam (instead of an iSight). That said, any $30 Logitech webcam at Wal-Mart would probably work fine with iChat if you got the name of that program.

not really, the person who needs it had a logitech QuickCam Express on her pc but this one doesnt work on the mac
looks like most logitech wont work on a mac 
it says here some quickcam express work with maccam depending on the sensor
macam panther version enables Logitech Quickcam Express pn panther. I don't have link I downloaded it sometime back. PM me if needed. also that driver alongwith iChatUSBcam makes it work with iChatAV-panther. I don't have tiger yet (cisco vpn

Yahoo messenger crashes routinely when using the webcam driver.

What seems to crash Yahoo with that driver is when you disconnect the video feed. If you simply pause it, things seem to be fine. My wife uses an ancient Creative Webcam II USB with that driver in Yahoo. I originally bought that camera back in 1998 for about the price that an iSight is now
but it is still working fine!

I can't get my Logitech Pro 4000 to work in iChat. For some reason though it works fine with image capture
Anybody know a solution? Other than shelling out more £££ for a new camera

Have you installed the iChatUSBcam patch someone mentioned earlier? Without it, iChat will only work with FireWire cameras.

I added you to msn quite a while ago to talk about a solution, but I think you blocked me lol
Haven't tried the USB patch, but I will do.
