Hi, I just bought a flame and am still working out how to drive it. Is there any way to use the VGA camera in it for videoconferencing in programs such as skype, msn messenger etc? Failing that can I connect it to my PC and let the PC use the camera in it?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm searching for a software to turn my ppc into a Webcam for Skype,...
I know there's:
Ateksoft Webcamera Plus
Mobiola Webcam
But I need one to use the front Cam of my "Touch HD" so I can use it when it's craddled.
Ateksoft should do it but doesen't.
Mobiola can't do it.
Any other suggestions.

Ateksoft Webcamera Plus actually can do what you need, I have my Universal and I use it with the front cam with no problem
Hmm,
I tested it yesterday...
When I try to switch from Camara to Camara+ in the menu it still shows to back cam...
I'm using - perhaps it's a problem with the "Touch HD"!?
can anyone confirm?
nope cant confirm that, but i found that particular app very slow and not worth bothering with. As much as it pained me to do so, ur better off with a proper webcam. just my opinion...

same here...always using rear camera....but i have a bigger problem : it didn't worked at all (touch HD...stock 1.14 rom). I can see the video on the dive but the PC software stays always in "waiting for connection"...i tried autoip and setting ip manually with no success...no firewall, etc.....Strange is that when i open the software on the PC it automatically opens the PDA soft....so there is a connection......don't know what else to try....
I have that same problem at my touch hd!
it works fine at my samsung sgh-i780!
edit: ive got it up and running with my rear camera in landscape mode!.. Front camera is not working
I saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509981 on how to use your phone as a webcam without any paid apps. It says to use mymobiler and an app called Vh Screen to capture the mymobiler camera stream (it will recognize the feed as a webcam). The problem is it suggest using mymobiler but with the Fuze/Touch Pro if you turn on the camera it doesn't stream through mymobiler (you just get a black screen but the menus show up).
So I did the following and it works as a video camera but I can't get sound yet.
1) Connected Fuze to PC using the tv-out cables. I use the freeware DScaler on my PC to get the input from the tv-out cables onto my PC: http://www.dscaler.org/dscaler4.htm
2) Used VH screen capture driver to capture the dscaler feed http://www.hmelyoff.com/index.php?section=8
3) Use MSN Messenger and it works as a 'video' camera but no sound was being transmitted.
Any ideas? I think the problem is that DScaler is not transmitting audio.
Thanks
I don't know about the way you are doing it, but Qik does streaming video and audio from your mobile phone for free.
www.qik.com
thanks - I know about Qik...it's very hard on batteries and you can't use it for other messenger apps. I was hoping to get a universal 'webcam' so you can use it for regular chats and skype, etc.
haha i'm not sure where i picked this up from, might have just been fuze mobility
BUT vzochat.com does free video messaging! they have a pc client and a winmo client. i installed it and used it with two friends - one has an HD the other has a tilt. the tilt camera had issues but the hd worked great, minus some feedback (prob volume too high) and htey have a pc client too.
that sort of kinda not really acts as a webcam but it's still cool!
lmao yeah vzo chat might have been from fuzemobility and i think the poster of that article is the original poster of this thread. Again vzo chat only works in vzo chat. I think the OP is looking for a webcam that work with other software like yahoo and msn and skype.

Yeah I did post on Qik and VZO in the past Both are good for what they are. I'm hoping to take it one step further so it can work in more apps though. I'm going to tinker with some more wires tonight while pressing 'record' in the video to see if that gets audio throughput.
OK- to get audio just plugin in a 3.5mm headset. Here is the entire thing step by step: http://www.fuzemobility.com/using-your-fuze-as-a-webcam/
Hello everyone
is that possible ?
my mobile (HTC Touch Pro, with Windows mobile) has a micro USB, is that possible to connect an external web cam, and see in the Mobile screen ?
note :: I am not trying to use my mobil as a webCam for the PC
thanks in advance if somebody knows something,

I needed extra software on both my desktop and laptop. It should be the same for your case. If you have software&drivers for the particular camera for windows mobile (which is highly unlikely) it should work, otherwise no, sorry
to connect usb devices to a pda it's required that it support USBHost few support that
In my particular case, I have a Touch Pro (and soon a HD2), somebody knows somethign about this two devices?
In the other hand, It is usrprise me that nobody here have try to connect a webcam to one of our mobiles, is that so ?
thanks to all,

That should depend on your phone's brand, since Camera hardware's drivers will be required to be installed on your pc and then a 3rd party application to control things, so you should search for specific phone like: "HTC Legend camera as WEB CAM for PC" Threads, try googling it...
Dude, first link on google. Alot different programs to use your phone as webcam, just via WLAN. Search for this on google and hit the first link:
"use android phone as webcam"
Hi all,
Has anyone tested a webcam with CX-803 TV stick. I tried a few but it doesn't show my video on skype on any other camera app.
I'd really like to connect my webcam (logitech STX) and to skype video calls and stuff.
Im running stock Rom (rooted) 4.1.1
Please let me know if there is a way to install drivers or anything to make webcams work with it.
Thanks
