Title says it all, will we be able to do a video call with a pc user who is using a webcam?
Qik allows it, so yes.

I'm assuming private chat, not recorded and posted on my qik page. I can't seem to find much about it, does anyone know where I can find more about it?
yes, new app? w/ Qik...
yes, the official launch they said that "an upgrade" (i believe through Qik, an app maybe?) will enable the phone to utilize phone to phone OR phone to pc video calls..."CALLS"...so it must be the case. i guess they foresaw having to compete w/ skype and verizon in this manner...w/ verizon's upcoming vphone (saygus) offering video conferencing software via android, more options may open up than just offered up front at sprint.
Also remember that the 4th gen iPhone will also have a front facing camera, as well as code in the os that point to iChat intergration.
I can't wait till we have an Android app that works with iChat!
This is an upgrade to the qik app or qik account. I wonder if it will cost. That would sure ruin it.
I'm praying for skype to skype video on the Evo.

same, stupid verizon, buying up skype.....
I know I'm half awake, so maybe I missed something, but from what I can see, Qik doesn't have a full desktop/PC app. They seem to be very phone centric.
They do have an app called "Qik-in-Touch" that runs on the desktop and will tell you when your friends are broadcasting publicly (or maybe privately to all friends?) but last time I played with it (when it first went beta), it didn't support webcam on the PC. So it was receive-only on the desktop.
It's something, but not a direct one to one video calling/chat. But maybe they've updated it since the last time I played with it, or maybe I just missed some things.

That's what I was concerned about, I haven't seen anything about being able to video chat to a PC

actually google bought Global IP Systems, they allow skype, qik and so on to have video calling and chat XD so we will see.
Wonder if Google Talk will be getting video chat on the PC and Android phones.
I my opinion that would be great. If you have a Android phone you have a gmail account so it only make sense that it should be coming.

Your prayers have been answered. Fring now supports video chatting with Skype.

Gizmodo demonstrates video calling from Evo to Evo using Fring - http://gizmodo.com/5549494/fring-for...rom-the-future
Qik does it, but its an extra $5/month, like the post above fring will make skype video calls, or atleast recieve them for now, i havent seen it making a video call yet.

you can do pc to phone and viceversa it receives and makes calls i have already tested it
dont forget skype is releasing video chat on all android devices this year too
Fring is supposed to do skype with the front camera
Tested it today. Two evos both using fring, worked well on our subpar 3G service around here. I did Skype on PC to Fring (logged into a skype account) on an evo. Worked great all the same. I played with fring on an old windows mobile device, and had problems. Today on my evo, the experience was flawless.

Grab & install Fring from the Market. I've been using it for the past 2 days to video chat EVO > PC. PC users on Skype.
NYC is still 3G only, so its pretty bad, but switch to Wifi And I found the quality rather acceptable.

Is video calling for the EVO and sprint gonna work out the box or is the front facing cam there in preperation for future support?
future support
Out the box using Qik
Out of the box future support using Qik. Clear enough for you?
It's going to work when you get it. I'm guessing you'll only be able to video chat with outer Qik users, though.
Any idea if you'll be able to use the foward facing camera as a web cam plugged in to a PC?
Out of the box? Doubt it. If someone programs an app to use it as such? Definitely.
i hear its out of the box with Qik i hope that pc users can video chat with the phone, that would make it very cool.
Will you be able to use video chat over 3g?

Yes you can through qik's site on a pc
phone to phone, desktop to phone...
at the official launch party, dan hesse said during the demo that upon the phones release june 4th, an "upgrade" would be available which would enable using the front facing camera for phone to phone video calls as well as desktop to phone video calls. a new Qik app maybe? not skype w/ verizon's contract...although i have heard people are successfully using the skype beta app floating around, on networks other than verizons!
As I posted on the "Video chat on PC" thread:
I know I'm half awake, so maybe I missed something, but from what I can see, Qik doesn't have a full desktop/PC app. They seem to be very phone centric.

Is there any app out there that will let me Video chat with a Desktop. Preferably using Skype or Google Video chat.
With Fring not supporting Skype anymore, it feels like a big chunk of functionality has been taken from my big bad phone.
I know that both fring and qik support phone to phone video chat but I'm the only one I know with a EVO so both are now useless to me now.
fring pleasesearch10chars
skype mobile is on the way.. i guess we just have to sit tight until then.
Fring supports SIP. So it's not completely taken away. It's just that no one uses Ekiga.
There's also SipDroid.
i usually use fring
Agreed, without skype fring is useless for me, even with skype fring was pretty useless due to the horrible quality of the program.
YES, there is. it's called "ooVoo Video Chat (Beta)". and yeah, there is an oovoo desktop client that has been out before the mobile version as you may/probably know. get the app from the market place.
holy dead thread revival!
Yahoo messenger also lets you video chat to desktop

Are there any video chat apps that work on Android with the rear-cam whether it is Skype based to a computer or phone-to-phone?
i'd also like to know if i can video chat with the rear cam, even if it means I don't see anything. Atleast the other party will be able to see me.
anyone?
thanks~
Fring, YAH!

Fring blows, and they removed skype support so it's useless now. Only thing I would use it for is chatting from mobile to mobile for video chat
what exactly is this for? i dont see an option for it when calling and the phone didnt come with a program for video calls? is it in the making?
well, you can take pics of yourself to upload onto facebook if your into that kind of thing. Sure beats the little chrome dot that your supposed to use as a mirror LOL
I am sure at some point there will be Skype and other programs that will and can use it. Just a matter of time
facing camera is for purpose using the video conference or taking a picture of yourself for some purpose like facebook or update your new face.
You can just download Tango or skype app or whatever your favorite video conference app.
You need the leaked skype.apk for skype video calling which on Sense 2.2 works great. CM7 also has Gtalk with video mostly working. I haven't tried Tango yet but I'm sure it works as well for video chatting.
I have used it with Yahoo Messenger with the video chat plugin and it works great.
Still waiting (patiently.....) for vid-chat support on Google Talk.
Skype no, Tango no, Yahoo Messenger no as well?!? Any solution?
TIA
Ive used tango and qik on the tf.

Actually the impression is Video calls with Yahoo and the front camera DO work
I have had no problems w/ Tango, as well.

yea why not google talk? Newer androids and all computers basically support it.

There's a modified Yahoo Messenger that work just fine on the TF.

Anyone have a working apk for Qik video chat? The wife has the Sensation and I've been looking for a video chat compilable with it. Google Talk won't work since the Sensation runs 2.3.3, not 2.3.4.
Qik is now Skype. Does not support video chat on Tf as of now

Google Chat has the best video and audio clarity out of everything I tested.
I had tango working on my tf, but it sounds like crap and the video is fuzzy.
Pretty crazy that you are using the same hardware and you get a different output depending on the program you are using. I guess tango does some type of compression or something.

Okay, sorry if this is very obvious but how do you get google talk/chat on the TF. I can't find it in the market and if i go to through the browser it says that it needs to install the plug in?
Hmm, everyone keeps saying use google talk. However I must be missing something.
I have "allow video and voice chats" checked in, but I can not initiate video chat with any of my contacts.
I don't have even an option to activate video chat...

It will only work with other users who have a client that supports video chart (those logged in through Gmail / Google Talk on their tablet / Google Talk on their phone).

For those users not on 2.3.4/Android, they can download and install Vtok
What we need here is FaceTime for Android - I've been using it to talk with my father and it's worked flawlessly. Smooth video, easy connection.
I've had lots of problems with video chat apps for android with video's being upside down or problems connecting - even google talk was hard to get working from PC to Tablet

On a side note, Google Talk works GREAT!!! I wish they add support for Google+ Hangout feature so you can chat with a bunch of people... that'd be awesome!
