See http://www.pidgin.im/faq.php#vv:
 Will you support features such as voice chat, internet phones, or video chat?
    We hope to add voice and video support in Pidgin 3.0.0. We don't have a timeline for when this will be finished. Voice and video is a very time intensive feature, and many of the core group of Pidgin developers are very busy. Help ease their burden!

Pidgin is the new name of gaim (gaim will be renamed to pidgin in feisty+1)

Can you help with this problem?
