Hi all,
I would like to get feedback about using this webcam under linux.
Which soft was used ? Have you succeeded in communicating with windows users? (gnomemeeting, others ?)
In using the integrated micro (feedback from others webcam are welcomed) ?
Thanks.

The camera itself is great - good quality video, integrated mic (which is quite sensitive).
Under Linux - not so great. It has been theoretically supported* but to get decent quality (e.g. more than 5 FPS) you need to recompile your kernel and add decompressor support for it.
I tried this on Debian and gave up eventually, so I just use it on Windows. Re-compiling is more than I'm willing to do just for a webcam.
So in short - excellent camera, I'd buy it even if it worked only on Windows, but don't reformat that Windows partition quite yet.
Cheers, Gad
