Any AV-enabled app that you'd normally use. Provided, your webcam and mike are supported.

Do you want VOIP?
Ekiga is the open source sip-phone that does vid as well as aud. Skype seems common, but IIRC dosn't do video

Skype

Hi!

I know that the best choice is the open source ( in this case Ekiga ), but if you are going to talk to a Windows user, then the option would be Skype.
The last version is 2.0 BETA which now supports video for linux users.
By the way, you can install Ekiga in Windows.

It's odd - windows comes with a sip capable thingy, and Windows users use skype. Maybe MS intends to buy skype a bit later?
