Plug Your webcam in usb port

then open a terminal and type

$ lsusb

this will give the chipset and Manufacturer details.

Then Try a ubuntu utility applications -->Internet-->ekiga

If your webcam is a standard make there is no Problem it will work.
Otherwise you have to do more things

There is a very good lightweight program called cheese that can handle
virtually every webcam.
You can get cheese by keying the command below

sudo apt-get install cheese

or install via synaptic...

Now enjoy using your web cam.
