How do I use it in chatting [such as AIM and MSN]??

Ive figured out video chat and everything, but does it work as just a plain webcam?

So you're wondering if you can use your built-in camera as a webcam, while [using?] AIM/MSN, with someone using the same client? If so, that may work, if you're in iChat and/or Adium, attempting to webcam with someone using AIM/MSN, there may be a compatibility issue.

Or are you wanting to record yourself in the webcam?

I want to be able to use the built-in camera as a plain-old webcam.

I've searched all over the internet looking for a way to do it, but either it's not do-able and Im just too stubborn to admit it, or it works and I'm just too dumb to figure it out :p

All I want to do is have it work as a normal webcam that one would buy in the store. Just have it show video while chatting on MSN, AIM, etc (NOT iChat).

It should work.. I think it worked for me when I used my MacBook.. Are you receiving any error messages when trying to do this?

Currently Messenger for Mac (version 7) doesn't support video and audio feeds; there is Mercury messenger for that or you could boot camp with Windows!
