No, you don't need to have a webcam to view another user's webcam. But first you need to make sure that your friend is broadcasting his/her webcam. There are two ways to view your friend's webcam:

  3. If your friend chooses not to display a message when they broadcast their webcam, you'll need to right click on the user's ID, then select "View Friend's Webcam."

"This user does not have his/her Webcam online."
