  <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>
      <tr>
        <td>
          <p>
            Icon
          </p>
        </td>
        <td>
          <p>Beskrivning</p>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>
        <p>
          <media type="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/audio-input-microphone.png">
            Icon for audio conversation
          </media>
        </p>
      </td>
      <td>
        <p>The contact is able to have an audio conversation.</p>
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>
        <p>
          <media type="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/camera-web.png">
            Icon for video conversation
          </media>
        </p>
      </td>
      <td>
        <p>The contact is able to have a video conversation.</p>
      </td>
    </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
  
  <note>
    <p>
      In order to have an audio conversation, you need to have a sound card that is
      supported by your operating system, and a working microphone. 
    </p>
    <p>
      In order to have a video conversation, you need to have a webcam that is
      supported by your operating system, and a working microphone.

  <title>Supported Account Types</title>

  <p>You can only have audio and video conversations using accounts on
  certain supported services.  The following table lists whether audio
  and video is supported for each type of account.</p>

  <note>
    <p>Account types are provided by plugins.  Your system may not have
    all of the following types available, or it may have types not listed
    here.  Updated plugins may make audio or video conversations possible
    on account types that are listed as unsupported here.</p>

    <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>
