Hi.

I’m currently trying to write a script that initiates a video chat with more participants than one.

Here’s what I have so far, initiating a video chat with one participant. I don’t know how I can do it with more…

tell application "iChat"
	make new video chat with properties {participants:buddy "somescreenname"}
end tell

Thank you so much for your help,
Matthias

Hi,

the dictionary of iChat says

participants get list of buddy Other participants of this chat. This property may be specified at time of creation.

does this work?


tell application "iChat"
	make new video chat with properties {participants:{buddy "onescreenname", buddy "anotherscreenname"}}
end tell
