super IM video viewer settings
When someone you are IMing with starts their video or you enter into or are invited into a super IM session where people are publishing their video from their web cams you have several options regarding the way video will be displayed by default.  It should be noted that IM or super IM are NOT rated and therefore you cannot be assured that video in super IM sessions is appropriate for all ages.

o - automatically show me their video
if someone is publishing or starts publishing their video it will automatically be displayed with no interaction from you, regardless of whether the person is on your pal list or not.

o - automatically show me their video if they are on my pal list  (recommended default setting)
if someone is publishing or starts publishing their video it will automatically be displayed with no interaction from you, but only if the user is on your pal list

this setting lets you elect to view video only from pals to present 'unwanted surprises' when viewing video.

o - don't automatically show me their video but let me manually view it
you will have to manually elect to view a person's video by selecting their name from the drop down list in the video strip
