Your Hangouts call should now have started the camera and you're good to go! Listen up, OSX users: with the new Hangouts update from Google you might actually want to use the official app rather than Adium.Now open Photo Booth to activate the camera.The green light next to the camera should come on. Open Hangouts and start your video call.If you've been battling to get the video for Google Hangouts to work on Safari I have a workaround for you.
