Don't know - I haven't used any of them for ages. Ekiga used to be gnome-meeting, and sound and vision both worked then. Doubtless evolution has brought some difficulties, but I couldn't say whether they have been solved. One you didn't mention is amsn. That had video but no sound last time I used it - but that's well over a year ago, so it may be fixed by now. Have you read the web sites for any of these? I would have thought that you could get a good idea of the state of affairs from those pages. Anne
