iChat Icon   Changing your iChat AV picture

You can set a custom picture, also known as a "buddy icon," that appears next to your name in the Buddy List and in message windows. When you select a picture for yourself, the people you chat with will see it, unless they have selected the "Only use this picture" option on their computers

Drag an image file to your name in the Buddy List.

For best results, use a picture that is 64 x 64 pixels in size. If you use a larger picture, a window appears that lets you resize and crop the image to the appropriate size.

Changing your picture in iChat AV also changes your card in Address Book.

If you have a videocamera connected to your computer, you can also take a video snapshot of yourself and use that as your buddy icon.
