I dont think Pidgin supports webcams. You can check if your cam is working by loading up gnome-mplayer and clicking on open-tv.

AMSN supports webcams, but there's no PND of it yet. It's written in Python so hopefully it can be made to work. I'll have a stab at it at some point when I get some time, as I'd love to cam chat on my Pandora.

hum...

EDIT: Not that it mean that the pidgin I packaged support it (it is disabled at compile time).

ok it does for XMPP and GMail. I didnt even know GMail was an im protocol, and have never even heard of XMPP!

I don't think aMSN is written in Python after all, don't know where I got that idea from. Anyway I'm trying to compile it, but unfortnately the dev setup on my Pandora is a little bit screwed.
