Description
I just saw a video about iChat on my new MacBook Pro. One of its features was video conferencing. In KMess 2.1 we will have webcam support, so I figured - if we had webcam/video conferencing in KMess 2.1, we would be the *only* Windows Live Messenger client supporting that!
Support would probably go as far as everyone opening a webcam + audio stream to everyone, and all would be displayed in one window. If all contacts were using KMess or other compatible clients, (we could tell other clients about the feature, so it's widely implemented in all third-party clients but the official one... :D) we could switch to a more bandwidth-friendly or more reliable method, but that's something to be designed afterwards.
