What free softtware (Windows 7) to use with a webcam

I got a web-cam and I feels it's a bit underused.

So I'm wondering what free software I could use with it beside of the obvious Widows Messenger (or MSN or whatever it's name now) / Skype.

You could use WebCamXP5 (yeah, I know) to set up a streaming media server so you could watch your home/office while you are away or use ManyCam for effects.

Also, ChatRoulette...but use at your peril.

Google Talk and Pidgin both support webcams

Only GTalk in pidgin supports webcam, no other protocols do. And only in linux i think. – Jonno_FTW – 2010-05-19T12:15:14.903

@Jonno_FTW , Google Talk supports webcam , but you need install a plugin by Google. – ukanth – 2010-05-19T12:16:39.347
