telepathy-butterfly which is a backend to the default Ubuntu IM client Empathy has just received support for the p2pv2 protocol, which will be the only voice/video protocol used by future version versions of the official Windows client. (see bug report and OMG! Ubuntu)
Whilst these fixes are in the source code, it will take time for a new version of telepathy-butterfly to be released, packaged and put in Ubuntu. We are also dependant on the uptake of future versions of the official Windows client (we will be compatible with all future versions, currently in Beta testing). I imagine this will be working in a mainstream way by Ubuntu release 11.04

i didn't knew it has dropped the audio/video support after the release of 0.98.2 version. but the official site (http://www.amsn-project.net/features.php) still says it has the web cam support. – Rojan Aug 18 '10 at 08:28

Not with a native client but you can through Meebo (uses Flash).

The Meebo help page says "Note: If you're chatting with a buddy who is not using Meebo Messenger they will be sent a link asking them to log in through meebo.com. The Video/Audio chat feature cannot connect directly to an IM account not using Meebo Messenger." – Firefeather Nov 19 '10 at 04:10
