Do you miss the pleasure of viewing your friends’ webcam after you migrated to FOSS Operating System? Well, now you can try gaim-vv!
Gaim-vv is a fork of the multi-protocol messenger gaim project which support webcam and voice chat, which will eventually be backported to the main gaim project, when the functionality is complete.
Though currently only supports viewing webcam (no broadcasting support yet!) from Yahoo and MSN protocol, the main project of the Gaim-vv is to support full webcam and voice functionality of any IM protocol by developing a general framework to do that.
I’ve tried the latest release of gaim-vv, and i find it stable and useful enough to view my friends’ webcam. You can download gaim-vv and it’s depending library at gaim-vv website, make sure that you read the documentations first!
For those who are using Ubuntu and Debian, you can add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list file :
