Webcam on Mac MSN? Is it possible?

Just wanted to throw the question out there before I abandoned the concept. To this day, I have yet to figure out a way to get the webcam that's BUILT INTO MY MACBOOK to interface with the Imac MSN I have. It simply doesn't look like it's possible, and that the option isn't programmed into it. Now this strikes me as completely ridiculous, seeing as most modern Imacs have built in cameras by design. So, am I missing something? Is there some fancy way to get a webcam running with Imac MSN that I'm not aware of? Is there something I can download if not? Any help would be appreciated here, this is the ONLY thing that still makes me go back to my crappy old PC sometimes.

    Imac MSN? How are you trying to get it to interface with this "Imac MSN?"

    I'm using that. Microsoft Messenger formatted for my Imac. But it doesn't seem to have a webcam feature. I'm just hoping someone else out there uses it, and knows if there's a way to use webcam on it, because my Macbook has one built in.

    No, Microsoft hate people on Macs, and their Messenger offering is a good example of that.

    Use Adium for your day-to-day stuff, and use Skype or iChat to webcam with people on Skype and AIM respectively.
