Using Pidgin voice and video chat with Unbuntu
It is my understanding that Pidgin is now able to support Voice and Video chat. I already have a MSN Live Messenger and Yahoo account that I've used singularly for both of the aforementioned functions. I have found and been successful with loading, setting up and using Pidgin to support both accounts. I have further found the information on Pidgin's website explaining what was needed to install and use the voice/video function and have been unsuccessful in getting it to activate. IM works fine for both protocols. Please tell me what (...if anything) I am doing wrong and how I should correct it. Below are the instructions as I read and followed them:
For help with building, see Installing Pidgin#Compiling. Please carefully read through that section and any extra information for the distribution you're using.
Make sure you have:
* gstreamer0.
* gstreamer0.
* gstreamer0.
in addition to the extra compiling requirements of:
* farsight2-0.10 => 0.0.8
* gstreamer-
Additional Tips for Debian/Ubuntu Users: ¶
You'll need these packages from the your Debian/Ubuntu repositories, instead of the ones listed above:
* gstreamer0.
* gstreamer0.
* libgstreamer-
