As soon as I clicked the "test video" button, the red led light went out and I got some kind of garbed green image.

I started Cheese and VLC and they are both now displaying the cam video perfectly.

Random video chat, however, was first started by Chatroulette later on in November 2009.

i Meetzu, another popular stranger chat site and the first random chat social network popped up in July 2009, so it was between Omegle and Chatroulette.

I read the Ubuntu documentation on webcams and it mentioned changing the way Skype launched to solve this problem: I tried this with no apparent change in behaviour in Skype. Yesterday my grotty Z-Star ZC0303 webcam wouldn't work in Skype under Linux Mint Gloria or (ahem) Windows Live Messenger under Windows 7. Perhaps the difference is that I ran Cheese and have not turned off the power.

I have looked over the supported and unsupported webcam list and this EXACT model isn't shown.

Omegle is arguably the first site to popularize random (aka roulette) chatting as we know it today.

It started out as random text-only chat room when it was created back in March of 2008 by Leif K-Brooks.
