There appears to be support for webcams in the Flash we have, but just no camera to select. When Flash prompts for a camera, the selection list is empty as if there isn't a compatible driver.

And if the Internet Call video works pretty well (and it does), that proves it is not a design flaw preventing it from working well in other apps. Who is to say Flash couldn't also work decently if the driver was written well.

Vote for Flash support for the webcam!
