On the one hand:
Eugene Gorbunoff told of
Logitech QuickCam 4000 Pro + compatible as supported webcams.
Win Brun uses sonix usb cameras:

on the other hand:
Mercury and other apps (usb cam compatible) are working (but without cam)
QuteCom is not so far
It may be other qt4 communication apps exist
Anybody is able to prepare an os/2 communication application (Messenger-like) using few listed webcams?
If it is so hard we will wait and see. If it is not too difficult somebody may give notice of his effort. In that case we can ask the similar-bounty-sponsors to re-address their aims (our site master must have the mail-address they used to subscribe). Moreover we may launch a dedicated and defined bounty, if useful. In any case we have to rely on programmers-friends' os/2-sake.
ps. Sometime we forgot the "end user in the street". When you present somebody our os/2-ecs the questions to begin with are: writing? yes, browsing? yes, e-mail? yes, multimediaplaying? yes burning cd-rom and dvd? yes usb storage? yes, java? sufficiently, flash? it's forthcoming in very next days, webcam and voice internet communicating? no
This is the lack which stops conversation! and it avoids a larger spreading of os/2 test and use by potentially interested people.
