I don't have any experience, but I think Yahoo! Messenger will work for what you want. I remember people complaining that it doesn't work with iSight but I think I also heard a way to get it working. You might want to check MacOSXHints.com to get iSight to work with Yahoo messenger.

Actually never-mind that about MacOSXHints.com, I just checked there and couldn't find anything about iSight with Yahoo messenger. But I'm still pretty sure there's a way to get the two working together if they don't normally.

I was able to run Yahoo messenger with my iSight right away, without any modifications or trouble.
One thing I didn't like...the video source with messenger is just "Default video" and I couldn't change it. So it kept using my iBot instead of the iSight. So I just have to restart Messenger with the iBot unplugged, and it switched to the iSight on its own.

Too many Apple/Mac products to even bother listing!
