How it makes?)
Well credits give for a short and simple post
I hear lots of people have success with Tango (Free on the market) but i have not tried any such app myself yet.
I am not sure if the SNS will be able to use the Google Chat (Video) functions we see on recent tablets (ie: the Xoom, it is not a built in function of froyo (my galaxy tab)).
A good old google search or click on related one you find Tango on the market should find you similar apps (read the reviews to find user experiences).
Wish you luck, i'll let you know if i try any video apps in the future.
Cool) Thanks for your post.
Use Qik.
It works awesome and supports both FFC and rear Camera.
I use it very often!
The T-Mobile video chat app from Qik works on the Nexus S. The Nexus isn't listed as a supported phone, but I was able to receive calls from my friend's Atrix. I was also able to place calls to him . . . I think that it works better than Tango.
Skype needs to come into play. Because every other app sucks.

So, here I am asking about this.
Okay, first, I'm not sure if this is in the right forum (maybe I should've put it in Apps?).
Please move it, okay, if it isn't.
So, as we know our GTablets have that camera on the top of the screen. So, can that be used for videoconferencing?
What app do you use and how did you get it (if it isn't on the Market)?
Does Skype work this way, maybe with it's computer version or at all?
I have zero friends at the moment who have a Skype account with a camera-toting laptop/other device (I'm basically the only one who has a laptop and the GTablet with a camera on it included into the main hardware).

You'd want to search for Fring and g tablet to see the problems people are having with video conferencing on this device. I think only Yahoo Messenger work right now.
Skype will release their video chat this year, right now I believe qik and yahoo messenger work.

Skype has not released the video for the android as of yet. They did release the Iphone 4 version but not for the Android yet. That just Sucks

dont think you can actually call someone with qik can you? i used it all the time on my droid but it was just to stream things to people. havent heard of qik being used for video conferencing other than maybe on the htc phones. someone correct me if im wrong.
See the other thread under Apps. Yahoo messenger works, but on Gtab-to-PC connection, the video on the PC end is rotated 90 degrees.

Did a search here and elsewhere, but didn't find any options as of yet. Granted, the Sidekick 4G has Qik installed, I'd like to find an alternative that allows my wife and I to converse via video chat (Sidekick 4g to/from desktop webcam) when she's away from home.
We've tried a few alternate apps, such as Oovoo and Yahoo Messenger, which will both load on the Sidekick 4G ... but neither of them seem to recognize the front facing camera. They just show video input from the rear camera. Possibly Samsung and/or T-Mobile tinkered with the stock Qik app to allow it to recognize the Sidekick's front facing camer (just my guess).
Has anyone found (not just "it should work") an alternate video chat app that actually works on the Sidekick 4G, being able to recognize its front-facing camera?
Since we are both deaf, we communicate visually and its great that the Sidekick 4G now has video chat. Unfortunately, my Droid X only has a rear facing camera and doing the 'mirror trick' just plain sucks for our kind of usage. If we can't find an alternate video chat app for the Sidekick, then I might go ahead to upgrade my Droid X to one of the newer Verizon phones that has a front-facing camera now that the Qik app is available to a wider range of phones.
yahoo is an option

Do you mean the Yahoo Messenger app w/ plug-in? If so, when we tried that, it was not recognizing the front-facing camera...just the rear one? If there's another way to use Yahoo so it can 'see' the front-facing camera, please let me know how you did it. Thx!
its still in development... to get it fully functional im goin to send a request to the developer and use my device as a test device
Skype video chat may work.
Fring may work.
Tango may work, although im not sure if they have a Desktop version.
Only those 3 come to mind. Skype is a MUST try.

Skype?

So,
One of the reasons I picked up the transformer was the hope that I could make video calls of some sort with it. I remember some youtube of the TF101 doing it at CES and now that I own one, I'd like to see it work.
Can anyone step me through how they have done it, or if it's not workable or ....
Cheers,

Dunno about other apps but I know Google talk video chat works great.
You do this in Google Talk, find one of your Gtalk contacts that has a little camera icon beside their name, and click on Video call.
If you dont have any, pm and you can add me as a Google Chat friend, and test a video call.

I tried out fring today and it worked amazing!
There's always Skype too of course.

My mistake.
You can install Tango, this one allows video call cross platform i.e. iPhone users too.
The quality is excellent if you have a strong WiFi connection ( and the person your calling) also works from 3g if used from a handset or tab that uses it.
Also try qik.

Google Video Talk worked EXCELLENTLY. I showed it to my kids and they ran with it for the last few days. Then, they wound up teaching their mother how to do it.
Thanks for your help folks !

very new in the android world so can someone list the steps for this to work.
Has anyone managed to get the leaked Skype Mobile with Video apk installed?
When I try it just says "Not Installed" - restoring with TB also fails.
Can someone tell me how to get the video chat to work between my transformer and a windows account using the Google Talk/Chat.
I was able to install the software on the windows machine butr not on my transformer. The google chat software said it was for windows (i.e. xp, win7 etc) only. Android was not mentioned. I also checked Android market and was unable to find anything related.
Thanks

I also tried Tango on my TF to my wife's Iphone 4. I noticed that the image was up side down. Did you experience this when you are using Tango? I also tried Fring and the image was also upside down. I tried turning the tablet and still doesn't work.
I was getting an upside down video on fring as well.. what a shame

Finally today managed to make a video call through Gtalk. Very fast and good image quality I would say. The app FC in the beginning, I can't say why... but a quick restart of the TF fixed it.

Do you know if Skype is working with transformer. I have no luck.

I had the same issue with tango and it kept FC'ing if I was connected to my bluetooth headset.
I keep getting a force closes or my front facing camera doesn't' seem to work when i try any of the video chat applications. Tango, Qik, and Fring all don't work for me. Fring and Qik get forces closes and Tango just doesn't show any video. I have a Verizon Xperia play.
Same here can't figure out what the problem is

Doesn't Verizon's Xperia Play has Skype with Video?
well i had read in some reviews that the front camera cannot be used for any kinds of videos calls it was in gsm arena i suppose
Yahoo Messenger or Vtok?
I tried Yahoo Messenger (with Video add-on from the market) from my Xplay to my sister's laptop and it would ring her and vice versa but would always give a message that she could not answer the call, neither video nor voice. The only video I could see is that from my Xplay's back facing camera and I could not change it to the front facing video. For a photo for my profile however the yahoo messenger took the snapshot from the front facing camera. I tried both over 3G and Wifi - if anyone had better experience please let me know so that I can see if it was some network issue or my sister's laptop issue.
Has anyone tried to use vtok from Xplay to Google video chat? Apparently it works and is free and does not require additional sign-in besides Google’s – I wonder if someone could confirm how well before I try to convince my sister to install gtalk on her laptop.

There was a leaked Skype apk with Video for android exclusive for verizon back in April - I saw people tried to modify it for other handsets and networks - I hope one of those mods will work for you given that you are on Verizon.
fring seems to have been updated and works now but nobody really uses fring that I know ..

That is a big NO. Nobody on android has an official Skype with Video. There was a leak that was specifically for the Thunderbolt (4G-LTE phone, same CPU/GPU combo I think though), but didn't come stock and is not on the market.

From my knowledge, the most prominent threads I've found on that... It was leaked for the Thunderbolt (same CPU/GPU as far as I know as Xperia Play) but it was never officially released. The modded one removed a few things that were causing device specific checks, but the app still FC'd upon launch or sign-on.

Thanks - I looked into it more now too - and saw all the problems which maybe hard to fix - just not sure if people who were trying to mod it were on Verizon or not - was hoping that if someone on Verizon could get it to work on Xplay first then it would be easier for other developers to remove network lock too. Hope Verizon is still planing to issues Skype Video for Xplay themselves soon. Or maybe Sony will be unhappy with supporting Skype now that Microsoft bought it

I believe the Nexus devices are not compatible with the Yahoo Messenger Plugin. Unfortunately, it's a sad result of poor management of the apps available on Google Play Store.
The reality is, Google doesn't care about the quality of the apps and probably never will, therefore developers can do whatever they like with their apps (In this case Yahoo).
It's sad that you need to get rid of a good device, like Nexus 7, just because you want to be able to use Yahoo Messenger, which is what I ended up doing.
Oh and by the way, the Ipads/Iphones are the only mobile devices where Yahoo Messenger Plugin actually works and works well.
I've had various different Android devices over the last couple of years (Toshiba Thrive 7", Hyundai A7HD, Nexus 7, Motorola RAZR) and they all suffer from issues with Yahoo Messenger Plugin.
Bottom line, you need Yahoo Messenger, get rid of Android!
I would thank you many times for replying ..but I can only pres it once .
