A device with DLNA might have the capabilities with the right program/software on it.

Your best bet is to get a webcam that works with both mac and windows, linux too. Some of these $10 webcams work fine, such as logitech. As long as the driver is built-in, it should work. Bring the macbook into the store when shopping for a webcam and ask to test it. Some will gladly see if it works, while most will ask you to buy it before testing it.
