Q: Can I conduct an iChat multi-person video conference using a
USB webcam?

You will need our iUSBCam product and
a compatible camera driver.
Q: Does PowerBoost work with Leopard?
A: Yes, PowerBoost will work fine with Leopard.
Q: Does PowerBoost work with Intel Macs?
A: Yes, multi-way conferencing will work on Intel Macs without any help from PowerBoost, but it will still work to enable Photo Booth effects on Macs that do not fall within Apple's system requirements.
Q: How do I uninstall PowerBoost?
A: To uninstall PowerBoost, run the "Install PowerBoost" program included in
the disk
image. Click "Uninstall".
Q: I've installed PowerBoost and now I can't find the PowerBoost window. Where did it go?
A: In iChat, look in the View menu for "Show PowerBoost".
Q: How do I start a multi-party video conference?
A: In your Buddy List, select more than one buddy by holding down the Apple key. Then, click the camera icon on the bottom of the buddy list window. Another way is to invite one buddy at a time by clicking the green camera icon next to their names.
Q: Will PowerBoost allow me to do multi-party AV conferences with Windows users?
A: No, multi-party AV chats require all participants to have iChat 3 or higher.
Q: Will PowerBoost allow me to do multi-party AV conferences with iChat 2?
A: No, multi-party AV chats require iChat 3 or higher. Without PowerBoost, low end and older Macs cannot participate in multi-party chats. PowerBoost's purpose is to make multi-party chats possible on any Mac.
Q: My multi-party chats look blurry. Will PowerBoost help?
A: iChat degrades the quality of the video based on available bandwidth and this results in the blurriness. You should check the Connection Doctor to see how much bandwidth you're getting up- and down-stream. If it's below 384K, then the picture will probably look blurry. We're working on trying to fix this in a future update of PowerBoost.
Q: Will PowerBoost allow me to multi-party conference from my old G3, PowerBook or iBook?
A: Yes, it will. However, initiating (hosting) a multi-party video chat requires a lot of CPU power and conferences intiated from machines below 800 Mhz may not work properly. The participant with the fastest CPU should be the one to initiate the conference, and can then invite people with slower machines.
Also note that G3 machines below 600 Mhz are not recognized by iChat as supporting video conferencing at all. You can get around this limitation by installing iUSBCam.
