# Inviting a contact to an iChat

You can see at a glance if a contact is logged into iChat or AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), and invite your contact to a video, audio, or text chat.

If your contact has a valid .Mac or AIM screen name and is online, a circle next to the contact's picture indicates his or her iChat status. A green circle indicates the contact is available for a chat. Click the green circle to invite the contact to chat.
