What's New in AIM 5.5
Use one Buddy ListŪ window for all your AIM identities!
Use more than one AIM Screen Name/Identity. At work you're LawyerLisa783, at home you're LisaHome783. With the new AIM service, sign-in once, and all your AIM Identities are online at the same time ... in the same Buddy List!
- No multiple Buddy List windows crowding your desktop.
- Access all your AIM Screen Names/Identities from one Buddy List at the same time!
- Sign-on once, and all your AIM Screen Names/Identities are automatically logged on!
- Send and receive IM's from any of your AIM Screen Names/Identities
See your buddies live using Video IM!
Now you can see and hear your buddies using AIM's new Video IM feature! Video IM adds a personal touch to any IM conversation, whether you're communicating with family and friends across the street or across the country!

All you need is a webcam, microphone and broadband connection and you're ready to take your IM'ing to the next level with Video IM from AIM.
Note: Live Video IM requires a computer running Windows XP or Apple iChat AV version 2.1 or later, a webcam and microphone. Performance is better over a broadband connection or Local Area Network. You may not be able to use Video IM if you or your buddies are behind a firewall.
