After you have installed your AIM Pro Messenger, let's get ready to make a video call with it.

Please note - there is no way currently to "preview" your camera in AIM.

First, you will need to "Find a contact" or add someone's email address you know to your "Buddies List".

When you have done so, left double-click on the person you wish to conference with in your Buddies list. Once you have done so, the "IM with Buddies" window will open.
