  <title>Start a video conversation</title>

  <p>If you have a webcam, you can call your contacts and have a video
  conversation with them. This feature only works with certain types of
  accounts, and it requires the other person to have an application that
  supports video calls.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Right-click on the contact that you want to call and select
      <gui style="menuitem">Video Call</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>A new window will open. When the connection is established, you will
      see the total conversation time at the bottom of the window.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>To end the conversation, click on the <gui style="button">hang
      up</gui> button.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <note style="tip">
    <p>To turn a video conversation into an audio conversation, choose
    <guiseq><gui style="menu">Video</gui><gui style="menuitem">Video Off</gui></guiseq>.</p>
  </note>

    <title>Start a video conversation with a meta-contact</title>
    <steps>
      <item>
        <p>
          From the <gui>Contact List</gui> window, right-click on the meta-contact.
        </p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>
          Select the contact you want to have the conversation, and from the menu
          select <gui style="menuitem">Video Call</gui>.
        </p>
      </item>
    </steps>
    <note style="tip">
      <p>
        To recognize if a contact is a <em>meta-contact</em>, move your mouse on
        a contact in the <gui>Contact List</gui> window, and stop over it for a
        second: a small pop-up message will appear showing the number of the
        contacts that form the meta-contact.
