I tried one of my logitech cams, with no success. Others may work, not sure. I agree, however.... video hangouts and skype conferences with family and friends would be a nice feature. I have no doubt it'll come at some point on the np.

This was actually a big feature of the Logitech Revue.. They even sold their own camera and made a kit of it.. It was pretty awesome.
Lollirock rom can use a webcam for hangouts, skype, and for always listening okay google commands.

Here is a Youtube video posted using SKYPE VIDEO calling on the EVO 4G
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YHrK5gg1Pk
I've tested the Skype chat, and it does work! So awesome!
That is what I have been waiting for. Thanks for posting that. I think that will seal the deal for me.

Test of EVO to EVO video call? PM me.
Gamebreaker!! I knew this would be done out the box. I can't wait
Awesome!!! Can an EVO user duplicate the Skype video chat with this app? I just want to make sure we aren't being duped by that YT video.
Tried it. Works.
Did you skype video call another EVO user, or a PC? Any lag issues?
Evo to PC. Waiting to try with another EVO user. Tiny bit of lag, but no more so than PC to PC video.
No doubt you will have plenty to choose from next Friday.
How does the video/audio feed from the EVO look/sound on the PC? If you can compare the EVO skype experience vs PC skype.
I use Skype all the time on an embedded 3g radio on my laptop, so i know network latency shouldn't be an issue. I guess I wonder if the EVO's hardware presents an issue.
No idea what the video on the PC looks like. The remote was 1000 miles away.
Latency was about 1-2 seconds over 4G and about the same over WiFi.
Tried it with someone with an incredible over 3g, worked great. Amazing!
tried it with someone with a nexus one. works great. but i can't see him cuz his camera faces the other way
Uhhh, tell your buddy to turn his N1 around
then he can't see me! aha! evo <3
just tested it with my desire. it's incredible. such a grand EVOlution...
one side-note: did you get it running with people using your gtalk account? it only seems to be working with skype.
What software needs to be downloaded to use on the Evo? I went to the Skype site and it only lists Verizon Wireless! TIA.
Evo to PC works... and works well.

use fring from the market, it lets you log into your skype account
Awesome, good to hear that I can continue to skype for free on my EVO, soon as it is in my hands.
I have no doubt the 4-gen iphone will have this feature integrated seamlessly, in the usual smooth apple UI. Hopefully android 2.3 will integrate this feature natively.
Again, Android FTW.
Hello guys,
Ive just installed Fring as I am hoping to be able to get the video phone working.
Has anyone had success?
Can to SGS users WITHOUT fring video call one another? Any one done that?

Does your network plan support video call?

Network plan?
I assumed it was a DATA video call, ala skype or iphone's facetime, which are purely data transfers...
Surely the video call on SGS is not the (now completely out dated) traditional video phone call that was so unpopular years ago... so unpopular that mobile phone companies removed their front facing cameras?
Mark.
You'll use fring, but fring does not work on the .GS right now. They are working on it.

Hi
Yep, I see the fring guys are working on it

It would be good if skype did something directly for android... and then there is that alpha version of adobe I saw on engadget a month or so ago.
Mark.
Good question from the OP.
I also would like to know how and what I can do video calls to (without fring) .

i have used fring on sgs, to make video calls and it works with data plan or wifi. fring to fring users can make calls between each other , skype support has been taken out.

Skype with video support is coming out for Android in the fall. If all you want is audio you can find an APK by googling around.

I really hope so, I'd prefer to use Skype than Fring, contacts-wise and also I was very unimpressed by Fring connectivity in the past and even less so by their handling of their "bandwidth issue" with Skype.

Not that i have seen any in the previews.. but the camera is there for it and Tmobiles network is plenty fast
It requires a third party app but yes it can do video chat. Android still does not have built in video chat, that will come with honeycomb.
I understand that MyTouch 4G users have a built in app from Qik for this? What will be the options on the NS? With the OS coming straight from Google I am assuming Qik will not come loaded, is Fring a better option or is there something else out there as we wait on Google Video Chat.

Fring will work with this. That can be found in the Marketplace

What would be nice is native video calling that can not only call other phones but call skype, etc...
Maybe one day

Well it's rumored that native video calling will be coming in Honeycomb (3.0?) into Google Talk. I'm not sure about it calling Skype from within Talk but I don't see why you can't just use the Skype app, if it has video chat support. I don't use Skype.
Just took a look at Tango, has some positive write ups compared to Qik and Fringe in terms of ease of use. Will definitely give it a try.

They promised it by the end of the year but it's yet to come. Basically, I would prefer one app to call all and not have 5 apps for vid calling.
I think everyone knows you can get Netflix, Hulu, Amazon on Xoom using the PlayOn app but here's another way to get Netflix.

Wow! what a waste of server space. remote to a desktop computer and watch a choppy video.
Yeah, this was silly. Not sure I'd say that this means "netflix works on xoom."
Not a great working setup.. I tried this in the past.. not happy with it
What a joke. We need to define what "working ON the Xoom" means. it means the stream is being sent and decoded on the Xoom, which means not PlayOn, not Remote Desktop. Seriously RDP? Well then by that logic Office, Photoshop, and Visual studio "work" on the Xoom.

I actually use Office, Photoshop, and Visual Studios on my Xoom and it works pretty well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy3tNshAlY8
Not that I am defending RDP streaming video, if your going RDP you might as well use PlayOn. Although Slingbox is my preferred method of viewing videos, just need to invest is some pricey hardware. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJEQIfZttus
Why can't Xoom partner with Netflix like iDevice, PS3, Wii, etc wouldn't that make life easier for user?
Does anyone know if Amazon will be offering video streaming to android devices like the xoom?

yea, but not as cool and simple as Netflix on the PS3.. the FF/Rewind does not work well.
Few days ago I watched a video where an Nvidia employee was showing the capabilities of Tegra2 and was running Skype video on an Acer a500... of course I can't find the video for the life of me.. but anyways how the hell did they get it to work and we can't?
I use Skype a lot and it really sucks the only use of the front camera is to take a blurry picture of my self..

Yeah that was 3 months ago and still no video Skype. And now that Microsoft owns them don't expect it before they release it for the new Winblows phones.
it's not skype, but google talk from tab to desktop, and i assume tab-tab works for video chat using front facing camera.

Then why does the nVidia guy constantly talk about Skype and their partnership with Skype while showing it off?
I this still an issue? Just got my A500, & it video skypes perfectly.
Uh, Skype video has been working just fine for me for a while now.
Skype video works great for me as well.. even tethered to my cell for internet..
I suggest you uninstall it then re-install.. If still no go And you are on a custom rom post in the rom devopers thread where you got it .If your stock consider resetting your tablet
