Another useful new feature is Screen Sharing. Although ChatFX and ShowMacster let you show other iChat participants your Mac’s screen, the quality isn’t great and your buddies can only watch. At the other end of the spectrum, Mac OS X’s built-in VNC capabilities let you view and control another Mac, but setup isn’t easy. iChat combines the best of both worlds with its new Screen Sharing feature. With a click of a button, two iChat participants can share and control one of the participants’ Macs, all the while communicating via an audio chat. You can even display the other Mac’s screen in full-screen mode, and switch between your own screen and the remote screen with a single click.
