It depends on the camera. Some digital cameras do have that ability, usually using a special driver for a specific program. For example I own a very basic digital camera (Mustek VDC-3500) and it has that feature by using a driver for I believe Microsoft Netmeeting. The video it produces is very low quality due to the fact that it uses a serial link. I have never tried it though since my serial port and modem share and IRQ, and I use dial-up for my net connection, however it from what I have tried it would be sufficient. Cameras that have USB would undoubtedly offer better quality video.
