I don't know about the other services, but the XMPP based google accounts used to work (a bit buggy though). But by the time libpurple managed to work out the bugs, Google started pushing hangouts for audio/video calls, and at some point they removed video calls over XMPP. Prsently I don't quite know if this works with other XMPP account providers like jabber. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
