Video chat is not that important (just right now!) imho. But files and
also voice are!

There is currently really no way to have encrypted pc to pc calls for
everyone (Ok, there is Zfone but it is still beta. Beta means really
beta, it`s not working very well.). That`s really sad. For everyone
means - works for most important operating systems such as windows and
linux, decent and out of the box like gaim/otr.
