Is it possible to use nexus 7 as a webcam online ? Websites don't seem to see the camera or mic ? Is there a hack or app that will fix this ?
I would love to see this!
Go to the Play Store and get IP Webcam. This will stream video for you.

I want to use tablet as a webcam not stream video , that app dose nothing like that . Thanks tho
Not sure what you really want
You asked for an app that will allow the use of the Nexus 7 as a webcam on the Internet. If you are not streaming video, how are you going to use it?
With the app mentioned, it makes the output of the front facing camera available for access on your LAN or via the Internet assuming you setup your router properly. And webcam reading software works fine with it.
The camera is poor for that type of use for two reasons. 1) it is facing forward not out the back, and 2) it is not a very high resolution camera. Unless you were placing this somewhere in a fixed position, it is very hard to control as it ends up with an upside down image and is hard to point.
You can see it using webcam capture programs like tinyCam monitor from another device. It doesn't provide audio output.
If that is not what you are asking for, you need to provide a better description.

You need a chat app on your device then... not a webcam app.
I don't use MSN anything so I am not familiar with it or what that service provides, but something like
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=miyowa.android.microsoft.wlm
might be a start.

Trying to get Chat Roulette going, eh? Just kidding. I don't think websites will work and you probably need an app.

I've visited a website that uses HTML5 instead Flash or Silverlight for their video on my GNote, and it worked with the built-in cameras. I don't recall the name of the website, but it was a chatroulette-like tech demo for HTML5. Once people start switching away from Flash we'll start seeing this more. It's pretty rare at the moment.

So, no luck for chatroullet users on nexus 7 ? That's a downer ...
If anyone come up with a solution for the chatroullet fans, I would apreciate the reply.
Thanks

Theres another app called droidcam wireless webcam. You download a desktop program to go along with the app. It works through wifi or usb, I used it through usb about a year and a half ago. From there, i ran it through manycam, which is a virtual webcam program, by selecting it as the video feed. At that point, it should work with any program and internet website...such as chatroullet . You should just select manycam as your default camera and it should work. I used it with skype though, so i cant verify if it works or not..but in theory it should.
Again, i keep saying should, because it might not work right away. It definitely took a bit of play with the settings (and lots of unplugging and replugging) before i got it to be functional. I'll be able to test it tomorrow night if you didnt get it up and runing, as i am currently on vacation.
cheers

EDIT: sorry, i misread this post. I cant help you with that one, but if you wanted to use it as an external computer webcam...see above .
Using IP Webcam, this is easy to do...
Download the latest Manycam program. In sources, select your ip webcam,( http://192.168.1.129:8080/videofeed )(example)
In your chat program select Manycam as the source.
That's going through windows, as far as using the nexus 7 by
Itself, its not possible.

hey guys,
I tried to share some videos made by myselft on my N1, but, i realized that it's only possilble using a wifi network ! So, do someone knows if i can do something to share over 3G network ? I mean any software that trick my phone and make it believe that is on wifi!
Thanks anyway !
Interestingly enough I found that I can upload any size video to youtube via 3g by using the seesmic twitter app. Run the application, and go into setup to change video sharing to youtube from yfrog. Then enter your credentials. From then on, when you record a video, click share and then seesmic. It will automatically start the seesmic app with a tweet started "http://www.youtube.com/********". Let automatic the upload continue in the background and once you check back and it is a solid link you know it's complete. You do not have to tweet the link as it's already active, simply copy the link to whatever means you which to distribute.
weird I have had no problems uploading via 3G Did a test one a week ago here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LpuZexiJPY
hey, this really do the trick! thanks! But there is no way to share direct from youTube appl? (Only have a problem with big files, i believe 2mb+)

I may be posting in the wrong location and if i am my apologies but:
Just a question does anyone know of a site like iphonemoviez.net that will allow you to stream movies from an android device namely the DX????
Well there is that blockbuster app. I've seen a few other services but ether their servers get pulled or the software has become broken and buggy with the new android versions.
What i do though is use transdroid to search and remotely add torrents to my utorrent at home then using orb live (or the mobile site) and stream it once its done downloading. May not be as click and watch as i would like but it gets me by.
Keep in mind i only watch creative commans documentaries. Copyrighted movies are illlegal to view without buying the rights. So if ur intrested in that the blockbuster app is the only one i know that acutally works today.
Hope this helps

i was actually able to figure this one out in the browser there are hidden "advanced setting" which allow you to render a webpage like an iphone after changing this i was able to stream movies right off the iphonemoviez.net site
How to:
in the browser address bar type about:debug
then go to settings scroll all the way to the bottom you should see some new settings there
select uastring and then iphone
if someone else posted this before props and apologies to them

Same with me. I tested it and I got "not able to stream movies to this type of device"
anyone get iphonemoviez to work on the droid x? on 2.2 and flash installed.....
I've seen a few threads on this but no solid answers so far....
Yahoo IM has a video call plug-in but it only utilizes the back side camera and is pretty spotty @ best and Skype doesn't seem to work at all...
Does anyone have a suggestion for an app that will do this?
There isn't a good way to do this right now. Hopefully Skype will add video chat like they did with the iPhone. But I wouldn't hold my breath that it will come anytime soon.
oovoo works. last version I tested had the tab users view of himself sideways but it did work.
note it also required latest version of oovoo on the pc

I have used Yahoo IM and i was able to use the front facing camera. Here is the only problem i have found. It will not work between a PC and the tab. I was able to use it to talk from the tab to an iphone w/ no problems.
You can use yahoo to video chat between the tab and any mobile device and between the tab and a windows pc.

He's right...you can't. You can see the PC person on the Tab but they can't see you. The video never initializes and the PC app reports that there is no video. Both ends can hear each other, though.
cant belive no one has said Fring, i use it to video call my gf and she has a iphone, quality is great.

No he isn't right as I have done this and was able to see myself in both screens. Not sure why you don't believe me if I have to make a video to prove it I will. YM w/ video will work w/ the tab.
Oovoo works great...
Sent from my SGH-T849 using XDA App
tried oovoo for the first time tonight, it worked great except for one glaring issue.
The app defaults to the landscape orientation, this causes the image captured from the camera to be sideways.
If i rotate the tab to portrait, the image I send is correct, but the image i'm receiving is sideways.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Yep, oovoo works but is rotated 90 degrees off. I'm sure it's something on their list of things to fix.
Regarding Yahoo messenger, it's not true that it does video with the tab... until now it still does not work. I've tried with some experimental beta versions and could make it partially work but far from being usable.

I have no problem. Working in portrait mode and everything is fine. Oovoo still the onliest app doing video chat tab pc. A shame that other apps are not further developed to suport this.
Before I buy galaxy tab, can you use Yahoo messenger or skype to do video chatting?
I am always spending my time talking to my family on weekend talking using video conference using yahoo messenger and skype on my laptop
I normally ignore this but for the sake of this forum, do u know how to search?
If u dunno, u should take at least 5 min to view few paged as this question was repeated few days ago

Here I will answer it. You can video chat w/ yahoo from the tab to any other mobile device and to a windows pc. It will not work w/ a Mac yet.
Thanks for the replied, now I'l buy this tab next weekend. BTW is the cam quality good on video chatting?
I am still looking for an app that will do a video chat between my Tab and a PC.
I've tried Yahoo, Skype, oovoo and 2 others that I can't remember off the top of my head... NONE of them work.

Not for sure why yahoo didn't work cause I used a Mac w/ a windows vm installed and the video chat worked just fine between the tab and the computer. Did you install the video plugin for yahoo.

To legally use skype you have to have verizon network (can someone fact-check that?) or the app won't install.
The front camera of the tab is 1.3 mega pixels. It is adequate for the task. There is some microphone button issue - you use it like a walkie talkie, or art last you have to remember to push it sometimes. Can you please post back here your results?
I wouldn't see why skype would just limit themselves to vzw network. I will try and install skype tomorrow on my sprint tab.

I was mistaken - I downloaded skype from the market, and installed, then set up an account. But it only calls over wifi, not 3g. And you have to pay. I want to learn about voip.
That is because skype has not released a version w/ video chat for android.

Those of us with non-stock roms don't have Qik.
Tango in the market works great. My friend installed it on his ipod touch and we were able to have a video conference without issue. I was on 3G he was on wifi.

FYI - Skype calls work fine over 3G on a Euro Tab on Euro networks. If it is not working over 3G for you it is probably being blocked by your carrier.
O/T though as Skype doesn't support video calling on Android as yet.

..going back to the title of the thread, where the heck is video chatting?I installed the latest YM and the imVideo plugins but the video chat option is nowhere to be found. Apparently you can make a Video call (i tried it, it used the rear facing camera, was able to "connect" (i got this call timer thing go up) but then neither of us could hear anything over the line. This was thru 3G by the way, calling a PC.
Where indeed is video chat?
Video calling between tab and pc is working via oovoo. Install the latest oovoo for your pc and the oovoo app from the market. The screen orientation has been fixed.

I use oovoo and it has worked the best. Ive tried as many apps I could find. Oovoo works from app to app, app to pc, android to iphone, all for free unless you want to do conference calls; then you need to pay. 1 to 1 is free.

Nope! Oovoo doesn't work correctly. The orientation of the forward facing cam is 90 degrees out and there's no config to reorient it.
Short answer is Yahoo Messenger works, like crap. Oovoo works as well, with issues.. All of the other video chat (handset->pc and handset->handset) programs I've used suck, wifi, 4g no matter. I've tried on my HTC EVO, MyTouch4g and Galaxy Tab with most of the free ones available. Qik's quality is not very good at all but it tends to work between tablet and phone.
The galaxy tab's front facing camera is nice and clear though for it's purposes. You will probably find yourself in better luck using your headset as well.
Also, i'm not really sure if it was installed with cm7 or not but the t-mobile version of Qik is installed on the mytouch4g, seems to work as well as it did with the stock rom.
This is pretty cool. You can mirror your Note on your PC and control it using your PC's keyboard and mouse. It's a great way of editing and reviewing S Notes on your PC while they are still in native form on the Note. It connects either over USB (with debugging turned on) or over Wi-Fi.
Here's the desktop app...

Here's the Play store app for the Note...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5yc3VwcG9ydC5tdmFnZW50Il0.
I can confirm this works well with the Note 10.1, thanks for the heads-up. :good:
Edit: You have to download the APK from their website as the market version reports it is incompatible with the Note. The downloaded version has the correct skin for the note.
Great app but it`s not showing the proper skin for me (downloaded and installed the apk from their site version 1.0.1.26).
Anyone wanna post the apk file, play store says it's incompatible with ALL my toys and can't find the apk file on the mobizen site.....
Doesn't help I just finished work and have to start again in 7 1/2 hours....

The desktop app reads the device's model number when it connects. I have a N8000 and it worked fine. It also worked for my N7100. I don't know about the N8010/13 or non-international versions of Samsung's devices. The company that built the app is in Germany and probably doesn't know the N8013 even exists (as well as Samsung phones with carrier specific model numbers).
Well it`s woking fine with my note2 (n7100) too and showing with the proper skin. I have the n8000 but for some reason it`s not showing the proper skin. Anyway as long as it`s working ..... Thx for the great recommendation!

This is exactly what I was looking for, something that allows me to easily connect to my Note and utilize S notes (or whatever) with my computer keyboard.
I have plenty of work documentation that I can now easily copy and paste into S notes, and this saves me a lot of time retyping everything. :good:

Reading the user reviews in Google Play, a lot state that they took away WIFI. Can someone confirm that? I'd really love this if it could be used over WIFI.
Maybe downloading the apk from the link provided early instead of downloading it from Google Play will still have WIFI available??
Can you tell me how you copy paste into the tab using this tool.. I want to copy text from PC and paste into tab using mobizen screen.

After you install it on the device and start it, it asks you if you want to download the wireless module (APK) to use it over Wi-Fi. Still works for me. Once it's set up, all you need to do is start the desktop app and it automatically finds and starts the app on the device if its connected to Wi-Fi.
