That's the only app I know to do video conferencing as well. If you just want to test your camera, you can also use camorama.

I guess those linux assumptions can be fixed one by one once we get better support for cameras in FreeBSD. Anyway, it's nice to know people are working on this. We're lagging behind Linux big times.
