Does anyone know how to do video chat in pidgin? I can't figure it out for the life of me. I click on a contact name and the chat window opens. Then, under Conversation -> Media I have 3 options: Audio call / Video call / Audio and video call. But all are inactive (grayed out) and so they can't be selected. Does this mean that pidgin has been compiled in Fedora without audio/video support?
I am, however able to configure the Voice/Video Settings by going to Tools -> Plugins -> Voice/Video Settings, then click on the "Configure Plugin" button. So pidgin does see my camera and microphone. But what else do I need to be able to actually use them? I've searched the web for this, of course, and I couldn't find a definitive answer. All information is outdated, or for other distributions, or simply vague. For instance: https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/vv or the user guide (which is really a FAQ): https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin Do I need to recompile pidgin with some non-free codecs enabled?
