hmm ... I haven't tried it but it looks like one of the forks or a new
version of pidgin supports webcams on Yahoo messenger. I have read
somewhere that kopete messenger also supports that.
Skype supports webcam out of the box IIRC.
And if I am not mistaken, so does Ekiga.
Sorry, cannot conform this since I do not use a webcam.
Good luck.
