To play with it, and of you already use GNOME, I recommend Cheese. It's actually fun to use. For video conferencing, and if you and your interlocutors have already sold your souls to Google, Google Hangouts works remarkably well; I have use it for doing joint research remotely a couple of times, and it works great.
