These iChat 2 AV pages are coloured Green and have the iChat 2 icon that was in use at the time, so you know where you are. The icon differs from Version 1 by having the camera logo added.

iChat Version 2 Pictures

iChat was first and foremost an AIM client. (It could join the AIM service). The AIM servers closed in 2017 after AOL merged with Yahoo! and some previous security leaks. As a result iChat no longer works unless you have a local network (LAN) that has at least 2 Macs that use the Rendezvous - later Bonjour - chats.

That means these pages mostly form a Historical document of what could be done.

About this Page

Not only do these pages contain pictures of various parts of iChat but individual pages also have yet more information about the picture as well. In some cases there are extra pictures about where certain button and actions lead.

iChat 2 In Pictures

Each of these Pictures is actually a Folder of the relevant Pictures for each section. I am not repeating the Modem and Router folders here.

1 iChat Start Up Screens	2 iChat Menus	3 iChat Prefs
4 iChat Windows	5 iChat Adding Buddies See Main Set	6 iChat Ports

All but one Picture is actually a Folder of the relevant Pictures for each section.
Most of the Info shown in the Main Set of Pictures is transferable to any iChat version. These here tend to look at the specific differences. The sixth picture only has a larger view of the last bit of adding port to the Mac Firewall in Panther.
