I personally use pidgin, but the empathy FAQ on gnome.org has this,

I would presume (from my pidgin experience) to make a call, you would
probably have to right click a contact and choose whether you want to
make an audio or audio/video call.
Hope this was helpful.
You are absolutely right; that's how it works. If you have a contact who
can do video in your buddy list in empathy, they should get a little
webcam icon next to their name. If you right click their name there will
be an option to make an audio call or a video call, your choice.
FWIW I used Empathy video chat to give a talk at a conference in the UK
from my desk in Boston in Fedora 13 :) So it does work!
