VLC is a god send for getting my webcam working from linux to my mother's windows box, due to the easy installation with bundled codecs (h264 anyone). Skype doesnt work with my webcam on linux, nor does google support video chat on linux.

There are plenty of other players that you can play build the codecs with.

VLC supports network video streaming so probably yes, it is possible to make a kind of chat from it.
