I'm looking for a free opensource project or just some code I can use to have video chatting capabilities on my site. Anyone know if this can be done easily, I know a lot about PHP and jquery.

I don't think this can be done with PHP because the application which gets your Webcam's videostream must run on the Client, not on the Server. In this case, if you don't want your users to install special Software on their machines, you'll want to do it with Flash or a Java Applet.

I also found a library which uses AJAX and REST to do it.
