3) What you expected to happen
I opened a video chat via MSN. It connected. I then opened another video chat via GTalk. I expected that the same video feed would be sent to both or that empathy would alert me that it can only handle one video chat at a time and smoothly cancel the second video chat.

4) What happened instead
The message windows froze and crashed.
