A friend of mine has got the Creative Web Cam III working too. With some
time spent on the usb support with kernel 2.3.something and xtra time on
the driver, he has now is permanent Webcam installed on his webserver. I
can see him "live" with really good image quality, or with a high refresh
rate depending on your connection. We've got both a cable connection and
this is really amazing.
You can find more informations on linux-usb.org. Follow the links for
the supported devices and read about the 0v511 drivers sections.
Everything is well explained, as far as I can remember, and you'll have
more models supported, how to install them and so on.
However, I don't know anything about videoconferencing under Linux. Maybe
these sites will explain to you.
