To use BYOND on a Mac you'll either have to find games that support the web-client and join those using your browser or get BYOND working on Mac's variation on the "Wine" project, which allows the running of Windows applications on Mac and Linux. Although BYOND is a bit touchy when being handled through Wine.

The web-client is in beta still however and hasn't seen widespread usage by server hosts yet, so that option is slim.

You could also try dual-booting into Windows, if you have access to it.

Save yourself the headache and just boot up a Windows VM and play in that.

It's dependant on the host of that server, if they have the webclient turned on or not. It should show on the hub page.

Why can't you use virtual box?

Windows XP Mode is free and you can download it from Microsoft. VirtualBox will run it with a few... extra steps to say the least.
