    just use AIM AD HACK, it installs aim, then uninstalls all the useless features that you do use or even know about. I've been using it for years, haven't had a virus due to it.

    It's AIM, the program, just without the useless bloatware, so yes you can use video.

    but an easier solution would be

    www.meebo.com

    i think you an use video there.

    Yup www.meebo.com is light (barely changes memory usage of your browser) supports, voice, video, etc. Works with MSN/AIM/Yahoo and one other messenger.
