Public bug reported:
Pidgin is AWESOME, and it allows me to stay in touch with people on:
MySpace
AIM
MSN
Yahoo
Jabber
ICQ
IRC
But Ekiga is a nightmare. I would like to right click on a buddy in my
buddy list in Pidgin, and select "Video Conference" and have a big
window open showing their webcams output, and sending mine. I'd like it
to happen with Speex audio, and h.264 or better video. I'd like it to
have echo cancellation and work seamlessly on all Ubuntu Machines that I
administer. I'd also like to use a real video camera and my TV card,
and my condenser mic that I have going through a mixer and into the
audio card.
You may not think Video Chat is all that important to Linux adoption,
but most of the machines that I administer require it.
If Ubuntu is ever going to be a first tier OS that more than a gross
minority of people use, this needs to be addressed.
