  <title>Start a video conversation</title>

  <p>If you have a webcam, you can call your contacts and have an video
  conversation with them.  This features only works with certain types of
  accounts, and it requires the other person to have an application that
  supports video calls.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>From the <gui>Contact List</gui> window, click the
      <media type="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/camera-web.png">video call</media>
      icon next to the name of the contact you wish to call.  Alternatively,
      right click the contact and choose <gui>Video Call</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>A new window will open. When the connection is established, you will
      see <gui>Connected</gui> at the bottom of the window, along with the
      total conversation time.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>To end the conversation, choose <guiseq><gui>Call</gui><gui>Hang up</gui></guiseq>.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>
  <note style="tip">
    <p>To turn a video conversation into an adio conversation, choose
    <guiseq><gui>Call</gui><gui>Send video</gui></guiseq>, or click the
    <media type="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/camera-web.png">video call</media>
