Moved to Q&A.

I can't help you much except I can confirm there's an app capable of this, I was looking into it for my phone at one point. Keep looking and you'll find it, wish I could help more but I can't recall what it was called.

never used it and cannot confirm it works for xoom but google found me this:
(ok, appears i'm not able to send links because i dont have enough posts)
google for "android remote camera app" and its the first result

IP Webcam

Skype

Does anyone know how to use their front facing camera in the Skype app ?

The Android Skype app doesn't do video at all. There was an earlier leak of a Skype with Video app a few months ago, but I'm not sure anyone ever got that working on the G2x.

Well thank you very much for helping me. I'm new too android. This is my first android phone. I came from an iPhone.

Can I use a Hack from the HTC Thunderbolt Skype App?

I did some research on this and found Tango to be a good substitute for skype. It sucks cause most friends/family have skype.. but at least I can use it to talk to my mom.

Ya tango wasn't really reliable. I don't like the quality of it

Wasn't Skype aquired by Microsoft? I would expect to see video skype calls on WP7 before Android.

I think WP7 needs devices with front facing cameras first

Do you mean the new Skype 2.0?
http://androidandme.com/2011/06/new...-interface-and-two-way-video-calling-support/
I imagine it might just take a build.prop hack like the Netflix app?
EDIT: OK, so I just tried, and it looks like that isn't going to do it.

And CM7?
2.3.4 is with Video Chat API, isn´t it?
With the Stock or Modac it can´t run.
That is clear.

Skype 2.0 video chat on g2x.?

Hey xda well Skype just update and now has video chat on nexus s and a couple other phones and I was wondering if there's a way to make it think we have a nexus but I'm pretty sure it might be the same steps when people tried the Netflix app. Also I think I read its only gingerbread not sure anybody on cm7 might give it a try.? Thanks xda.

I am interested in getting this working as well. I use skype for business as well as to my brother in law in Alaska. It would be nice to use my phone instead of being tied to a less mobile laptop.

+1 so far there is no way to have a video call to a pc.. whether it is skype, gtalk, or msn

+1 comeon skype - i have dual camera's and wifi/fast3g on my g2x - i just want some video chatting to other skype folks.

When oovoo updates thier app, we'll be able to use that to video call computers.

Yahoo messenger video chat works only problem is it uses the wrong camera on the phone cant get the other camera to work
but everything else works great have to dowload the video plug in as well as the messenger from market

Well I just thought it would be cool to be able to video chat with Skype. When oovoo updates ill be using that to video chat.

You have to change multiple lines in the build.prop. Not just the line that shows your phone model. I used this method to get my MLB at-bat live to work on my Vibrant 4g.
My G2x isn't rooted yet, but if someone posts the build prob I can show you the lines to change.
Try:
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
If that doesn't work post a build.prop file... I believe another line might need to be changed..

I like Google plus hangouts. The only problem is getting your friends to sign up.

can you initiate the hangout from the phone app? or does it already have to be setup through the full website?

you can initiate a hangout from the phone and it does nit require wifi. Google talk works good too but you have to mod some files to use it over 4g.

I've also used Skype on both WiFi and my data plan and worked great. I also tried out Tango and it's worked out great as well - I actually like Tango more than Skype.

I've used Skype on mine, the resolutions seems a bit quirky, and the software doesn't look very pleasing when doing the video call. However it works well, especially in a area with awesome LTE coverage.
