How can I video conference on AOL?

Basic video conferencing can be accomplished with the AIM Pro instant messaging application. AOL AIM Pro.

Just attach a webcam to your PC, make sure the other party has a webcam, an AIM account, and AIM Pro installed, then open a messaging session.

You can then choose to enable video messaging between the two of you. You can also use AIM Pro to conduct interactive "whiteboard" sessions between two locations, with live desktop sharing.
