What are the best options? Preferably that I don't have to sit on the phone and try to install something for them. They have MSN messenger.

Well most reputable online video chat/porn sites should be able to use whatever system the client wants to use.

Be sure to give them a low limit credit card you can easily cancel.

there is nothing that will sync with MSN on the mac as microsoft doesn't support video chat on the mac yet. Your best bet is skype which is free.

Skype.

Nothing else (free) comes close.

Supposedly a new version of msn messenger for mac is coming out that will support video chat. However, their last update regarding it was back in December of 2008.

i'll believe it when I see it, they have said a bunch of times that it will be supported in the next update but it never is.

i know if the PC user uses AIM on windows and you use the ichat, the video chat will work, otherwise skype is your best bet

I can use ichat --> gmail chat with the video. Beyond that I have no idea.

I'm sure its on its way, because the corporate side of the MSN Mac client does video sharing, so its already in the codebase.

My american roomate who is obsessed with video chatting with his friends he told me skype is by far the best option for video chatting.
