Video support in chat clients on Ubuntu:
- msn video: supported in Kopete and aMsn. Will be supported in Empathy in the future.
-gtalk (a.k.a. google chat): voice chat is supported in Empathy (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=819046). I don't think that video chat is available natively on linux yet.

For specific questions, have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_instant_messaging_clients#Features

Can you help with this problem?
