I have installed Pidgin 2.0.0 beta7 version because a friend of mine told me that it is a beta version supporting webcam/video.
I'm using a Debian derivate in fact Ubuntu 7.10.
I have compiled the sources of Pidgin 2.0.0 beta7 without problems and I have configured it for Yahoo messenger.
My problem is that I cannot start an instant message window because application closes without any warning.
As soon as I push "IM" button on a certain buffy from my list the Pidgin application closes.
Is this problem met or known by somebody?
Is there somebody who have compiled Pidgin on Debian based distro ?
I need help or a confirmation if there is an other Pidgin release supporting webcam/video.
Thank you !
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
As fishpool states, no version of pidgin support voice and video communication, your friend was incorrect and had you install a very old version of pidgin as a result. If you want support install 2.4.0, which also does not have voice and video support.

I don't think any version of Pidgin supports Video. its being worked on but no version supports it.
As fishpool states, no version of pidgin support voice and video communication, your friend was incorrect and had you install a very old version of pidgin as a result. If you want support install 2.4.0, which also does not have voice and video support.
Thank you.
I saw today that there is no video support.
I'll take release 2.4.0
All the best!
