pidgin package

webcam and voip in ubuntu

Asked by Padam

I am new user of Ubuntu, since I first time used this system I liked it very much and wanna use continuously. But the main problem for me that I mostly use yahoo and msn messenger to communicate with family members and friends. Now I can access to buddy list of yahoo and msn messenger from pidgin but can't use voip and webcam there? Aren't there applications for this reason.?

This is not yet supported, but I think this will be implemented this year (2009), at least for XMPP/Jabber.

Can you help with this problem?
