Hi - Can't find any results for this one...
.
Are there any apps out there which allow you to access the webcam features on either Windows Live Messenger (MSN), or Skype?
.
I hear that fring used to but no longer does??
Thanks.
Bump...
Anyone?
Ok.. spent a while googling and found a great app for video calling..
it's called Tango - it's free and it's on the market... It works brilliantly.
It's not for Instant Messaging, and there's no PC client.. but mobile to mobile works brilliantly.

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/
I know, there are many solutions out there to use any mobilephone's webcam, but I didn't found any free ones and maybe one of you use his/her Leo as a webcam already (for Skype at PC eg) and can recommend me a one!?
thanks
Oh, that would be great!
Hmmm I got a one called WebCamera Plus, but worked not very well in trial, because there were many "scratches" every few seconds. That was very ugly. Did s.o. else have a better opinion or knows how to "solve" this problem? (It has a nice interface at all)
mobiola webcam for windows mobile works perfectly with skype and msn. although its a trial version - but funny anyway
OK I think I can sum up that both commercial solutions like "WebCamera Plus" and "Mobiola Webcam" are pretty useless on the HD2, cause the both seem not to work fluid an smooth, the picture gets stripes all the time and it lacks a lil bit too much for me.
So I searched a long time for another solution and finally found the way of the xda-member pafke, who says:
This is in short how it works (and it is free):
Download mymobiler: http://www.mymobiler.com
Download VH screen capture driver: http://www.hmelyoff.com/index.php?section=8
Start mymobiler and activate your mobile camera
Grab the part of the screen you want with VH screen capture
Now you have a webcam stream which you can use in any program like skype, msn etc..
Look at this video as example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wveANUBUIJM
Instead of using the microsoft remote tool use mymobiler. It is much faster.
PS: You need active sync to communicate with mymobiler

you can find the quotation here!
And this one really works fine, BUT it's not really comfortable! So you can make the Program track the windows from MyMobiler even when you open applications in the front and it's much more fluid than the other commercial programs and you can stream it to ICQ, Skype, chatroulette and whereever you want perfectly, BUT there are even some cons!
Like the camera is very sharp and I would like to make it more smooth and overlay it with a red/orange filter for make it a more wamer and then there is the problem with the size, I tried it serveral times to rotate (with MyMobile -> rotate) but that was a whole crap! Unfortunally resizing is not the best skill of the VH Screen Driver.
Maybe some of you got along with that problem or know an application to set after the VHS Screen Driver outgoing stream to rotate/scale/Colorize filter and make a new stream of that which can be used of skype, icq and all webcam related services and programs!?
Is there any application (something like slick for example) where i can make a video call over the internet (using 3g or wireless network) from my yahoo messenger account on my HTC Diamond? I don't seem to find any that works.
So, wondering if there is any good "webcam" apps out there yet? Tried Qik, not exactly what I'm looking for even on the live stream... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
I think you may be able to use the Ustream Broadcasting app...or Fring for video chat
If you're looking for something that lets you use the phone as a webcam for your computer then look for an app called "USB Webcam" from Placaware in the market
It's a bit buggy but it's the only app of its kind (that I know of)
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I use Orb through the browser. Works like a charm.
DROIDCAM...works absolutely perfect! This is by far one of the easiest webcam apps to navigate also...easier to setup then most of them.
Hi,
I'm using a JasJar (HTC Universal) running Tomal's 8.5 WM6.1 ROM.
All is good, except that Facebook Instant Messenger, Snap2face and Skybook all complain about a 'failed internet connection'.
My internet connection is ok - I'm able to browse websites, stream music etc.
Has Facebook changed its web API recently and broken a bunch of 3rd party apps?

Me to have this problem since this Thursday!
The only facebook app that works is this new one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630992 but this is just an early not finished version.
Anyone who got news on this?
