The creators of Adium, the popular multi-network messaging app for Macs, say they have finally managed to implement video chat support through the integration of technology by MeBeam. The plug-in relies on Adobe Flash, and like the rest of Adium can communicate cross-platform and with users on any IM network; the receiving chatter must only have a web browser with its own Flash plug-in. The sender must of course have Adium and a webcam. The app's developers note that MeBeam should have fewer problems with firewalls than other video clients, and that up to 15 people can participate in a video exchange. The installer is less than 9kb, and can be launched from within Adium (see link above) or downloaded separately.
