a little bit disappointing, actually.

According to the developers, this is a temporary state of affairs.
It happened mainly because Microsoft (yet again) changed the way the A/V chat protocols work, and now the aMSN developers have to catch up.
Unfortunately, this also means that you won't be able to use an older version of aMSN to do A/V chat, because it won't work with the changes Microsoft has made.
Hope this clarifies things.

I love this program even more!
it was the only messenger for me that would not lag out...
I can now close it with "quitting" when i hit the "X" which is awesome i dont have to minimize anymore. It now has voice call!!! its faster and the sounds are quite unique
Well done guys!!!

But I wonder why bother having trouble with video functions on anything using msn network when Skype works so great on any platform?
The perfect solution I've chosen long ago and that I install for friends asking me: Use aMSN for messaging and Skype for video, it's so easy!

Still there's one systematic bug, but with a work-around. At the first connection after launching the application I get an error message, I click on "Ignore" then the program goes on but the connection to MSN doesn't establish. The work-around is: quit aMSN and relaunch it again. The connection this time works. This is the reason for my very personal rating 3 stars on stability.
Very good is the capability to access the personal MSN Spaces contents directly from the contact list. Still missing the audio, but for the rest this beta release finally rocks although it's not yet native Cocoa.
Keep up the very good job, men!

I downloaded v0.98 and it seems to be more stable, it hasnt crashed at all on me yet, you can find it on the website.
the main reason that I use it is because it is the only version of msn messenger that supports video.
its not the best msn messenger for mac but it is the only one that supports video.

One point with Mercury - the webcam (isight) tended to crash occasionally. Go to Options, global settings, webcam settings and then lower the 'send interval' figure.
Hope this helps.

While this app is generally better (albeit uglier) and has more features than the original client from M$ it still has lots of problems...! First of all for some reason it takes like forever to launch...!? Then it places that stupid downloads folder on my Desktop, even though I have changed that setting in the prefs countless times...aaargh...!
The (German) localization has several errors, the GUI gets messed up occasionally, video -- although it generally works -- seems to bring down the app occasionally and the whole thing has crashed on me numerous times...
Unfortunately the ones of us who happen to have friends, colleagues and family who don't know better will have to put up with all this, since there are real alternatives around...and as long as there are several major IM systems out there, there will always be need for a good multimessenger that covers it all...! But that will probably always stay wishful thinking...
(Don't start with Adium or the resurrected Proteus now, or the few options that iChat has in that area -- non of that really covers it as good as is necessary...)

WHEN MAC USERS CAN HAVE A WORKING SOFT FOR VIDEO CONFERENCE????

This is the message I get while mounting.

It uses the CPU a lot before crashing. Sometimes, seems random, it doesn't crash and keeps running. Unfortunately it seems very unstable :(
Adium for now...
Why?
