You can easily make video calls to contacts in your Contact List, but you must have a webcam. You can receive and participate in a video call without a webcam. In this case, you see the caller's video stream, but no video is transmitted from your Office Communicator client.

Note Audio/video conferencing (video with more than one person) requires conferencing capabilities to be enabled within your organization. If you are not sure what capabilities are available to you, contact your system administrator. A webcam is required for initiating video calls, but is not required for participating in video calls and conferences.
