<title>Audio and video support</title>
<p>You can only have audio and video conversation with contacts who are using
an application which also supports this feature. When your contacts support
audio or video conversations, you will see the following icons next to their
names in the contact list:</p>
<table frame="all" rules="cols rowgroups" shade="rows">
<thead>

<p>I'd like to do tables like this using nothing for No and ✔ for Yes, but
we need to look at the accessibility impact. I've
<link href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-doc-list/2009-September/msg00006.html">asked
the accessibility team</link> for input.</p>

<p>There's recent work on telepathy-butterfly and papyon to support
audio and video for MSN. It might be released in time for 2.28, but
since it doesn't follow the Gnome release schedule, I can't be sure.
If it looks like it's going to ship, let's mark it Yes.</p>
