There is no "Linux messenger." There are several clients available for Linux, however. The most popular one, Pidgin, does not support webcams. aMSN (for Windows Live Messenger) and Kopete (for all protocols) does. Virtually all webcams are supported out of the box in the Linux kernel, so no extra work is needed, other than to use a capable client.

Is there a Linux messenger?
No. There are several instant messenger clients that run ON Linux, though. It depends which 'distro' and window manager you're using - and the messenger type programs tend to be multi protocol in Linux, so you can connect to MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ etc all from the same program. In a KDE based distro, you'll usually find 'kopette' and in a Gnome based distro, you'll often find 'pidgin' formerly called GAIM. There are lots of others, just check the package manager Webcam support is either basic or non existent though
