iChat Streaming Icon brings your buddy icon to life

iChat Streaming Icon 1.2 is the latest version of the iChat AV enhancement that allows you to change your static buddy icon to an animation or a live video preview of yourself (requires iSight or other FireWire cam). “With the help of iChat Streaming Icon (US$5), an ordinary chat room suddenly becomes a video conference. The meaning of ‘Away’ is immediately visible. Anybody can see your video or animation—even non-iChat users (i.e. on Windows). And if you don’t have a camera, you can still replace your static icon with a nice animation… iChat Streaming Icon can read almost any file format thanks to QuickTime. From a simple animated gif that you got from a web page to a full blown .avi or .mov file of the latest movie trailer. Flash, PDF and multi-TIFFs work fine too.”
