I was watching how the new os system for apple has facetime. It lets you have a call with a video stream of the person on the other end... How can we build a android software for htc not to duplicate their software, but to be better??????

theres already an app for that its called fring, if two people have fring you can video call over 3g and wifi, except our phones dont have front facing cameras, but its availible in the app market on 2.1 roms, and this and qik are the same apps the evo use. and this post should be in the cdma themes and apps section.
There is also an app called Knocking Live but that is a one way deal. You can broadcast a video to others.
Qik lets you record a stream to an internet page.
fring is the most complete allowing you to make calls over data, text, IM, and two way live video chat... but without a camera that faces you on the screen side it is not as cool as it seems.

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.

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 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

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.
With my three former phones (Motorola V980, V3xx, Sony Ericson X1) I have been able to to video calls over UMTS/3G. You know, that regular video-calling thing. Not with Skype, Google Talk, whatever. I thought this would be possible with the Sensation, why would it have two cameras otherwise (Yeah, there are other reasons, but still). I have however not been able to find out how to do it. And when initiating a video call to my sensation from another phone, it fails. So is this really a feature the Sensation is missing? Is there any reason? Any way to get that kind of video calling?
No chance for videocalling?
Afaik the video calling was not implemented in Android.
You have to use a video calling application like Skype or tango

NO way on our sensation, you have to ask directly to google to give us the libs and all stuff to make it working.

Hi,
Unfortunately, none of the above mentioned.
Why??
Because I use facetime as it is the best and some advantages are:
There are many alternatives for Skype.
But the Video calling application I recommend is Facetime because of it’s several benefits:
Better security & privacy
Better audio Quality
Group call convenience
Making Video Calls More Fun with Memoji and Animoji

Zoom has become rather popular.
Also, the question that the OP of this thread asked was referring to video calling software on android, not PC and definitely not iOS. This website and its members are android lovers, we give no time or discussion to anything dealing with iOS so it was pointless for you to even mention facetime, whether on PC or iOS.

We use on premise R-HUB HD video conferencing servers for all our video sharing and video conferencing needs. We prefer it because it is easy to use and provdes 30 way HD video conference, plus works on all platforms viz Windows, MAC, Android, iOS etc.
My favorite is ZOOM.
