Can any one help me i am trying to get an app for videocall on my dell streak so i can video call my wife she is using a laptop?
Google Voice supports video calls, but you will need Honeycomb. Skype for Android doesn't support it yet, but the iPhone version supports video calls so I hope we will get the update soon

Does anyone know of a way to view someone's webcam using your ATT Tilt.
I am asking because my parents and I chat using windows live messenger. Obviously you can video chat if you are on the computer but there are times that they want to show me things and a video chat would be more beneficiary. Any ideas? I thought I saw something simular to this question a while ago on the forums but I was unable to find it in my search.
as far as i know the current pocket msg dont support any type of video calls
MSPortrait is currently the closest to achieving what you want to do, but its development seems to have ground to a halt and it can't use the front camera (Kaiser)
Live messenger supports voice clips in either direction but not video
Orb allows you to view and listen to a PCs webcam but it is only 1 way
I have Emailed the developers of Portrait at MS and they stated they will let me know of any updates as they are released.
I know old Post
Here is a solution for those that want to do video chat with there TILT ... works from Phone to PC (haven't tried Phone to phone yet) ... also you can use this with MSN / YAHOO / ICQ ect Chat apps

Now if only the TILT had a Camera on the FRONT!!
Sorry if I have missed a topic with the same question but is it possible to make video conference with skype and htc cruise?
How can we use the front camera for Video Conf through the net?
Thank you in advance.
In short, no.
I think only piece of software I have ever seen that's remotely near to providing what you want is Microsoft Portrait and that is a long way from being a viable videoconferencing app.
Front camera is a good place for collecting fluff and that's about it.
it should work for normal network video calls whoever use those
For local mobile networks the video conference is working (3G). But the fact is ... the cost of money for making video calls. By using wifi is cheaper and faster (i think). Do you have any idea for making video calls through internet (talking using the cruise or other 3g phone making v.c. to desktop/laptop pc).
THANKS
no no software i know of for pocketpc does it
there was a program called ms portrait but as i recall it dident work with
frontCams which kinda made video calls troublesome
AGAIN THANKS for your time.
Guys,
It does seem to me that Skype randomly dropped the ball; Fring does not support video chat anymore, and other video chat application do not support PC to Android functionality. The technology is HERE; however why are all of these video products limiting themselves in this way? Is creating a PC app that difficult? I just don't understand. It seems so obvious!!! It's the ONE SINGLE THING that we cannot get and are looking for.
Sales pitch they don't want you to know
Even though we all know that video chat will work with Wifi (that we pay for already) -- I really believe that these big corporations really want to release Video Chat at the same time LTE will be realeased with newer phones that, again, will already have front facing camera when some of us currently have already technology already. Skype is releasing Video chat to Verizon exclusively which will give an incentive for people to want to go to Verizon to use video chat. This technology already exist but they would like for us to use it at a price (buying a new phone and switching to Verizon if we didn't do so already). That is why Skype does not do video chat, when they can! Fring to Yahoo messenger does not want to use video chat, when they can! Fring to MSN messenger does not want to use video chat when they can! Fring PC to Phone does not exist and they want it to stay that way as well as Tango PC to Phone does not exist as well.
What we need is PC to PHONE VIDEO Chat -- how hard is that ?
Thats my 2 cents. Please let me know if you guys agree on this idea of trying to sell video chat for more money then just releasing it for free. I have tried to find PC to Android video chat functionality and I cannot. Please enlighten me if you guys have or know of this technology that works!
Thanks.
Hi,
Am an android user. However, a friend of mine owns a samsung focus. Since, her laptop is broken, is there's any way she can have video calls or IMs with me?
I checked around the marketplace and did a few Google queries. Most apps I came across have a price tag.
Doesn't WinMo have free IM or video call apps?
Curious if its possible to remap the video call option to automatically use tango, skype, or some other video calling service? I have NO CLUE what the native video call option is????? is it proprietary like iPhone Facetime? or carrier based? or what?
Since I'm on T-mobile in the USA - I'd like to remap that to use a compatible option . THANKS
Tango
Have you downloaded Tango for your Optimus yet? I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Please give better details.

I understand what he's trying to do. ie when he goes into his contacts and hits video call, instead of making a normal video call, he wants it to connect via skype instead.
in theory this would be possible, but then the reciever would also need skype...

That's exactly right... from contacts hitting the video call button the phone using an outside method of video chat... What is the default method anyways? is it some proprietary protocol like Apple's FaceTime? or is it carrier based or what?
Another great question would be, is there anything that would interface from the optimus to a facetime device? is there facetime for android? All my friends and family have iPhone's, and NO ONE has Optimus 3D or android's at all - hence the reason for wanting to use another video call client.
Hi Araltd,
My experience is only for Tango.
Currently you can Tango another Tango users from within your contact list.
Tango supports PC, Android 2.1 or higher, Windows Phones, iPhones (3GS and newer), iPod touch fourth-generation and iPads. That means you can Video Chat with other platforms.
You should give Tango a try. You’ll enjoy it!
Android Devices
- Download Tango from the Android Market here: http://bit.ly/lERnBS (choose to open in 'Market' when prompted)
Apple Devices
- Download Tango from the Apple App Store here: http://bit.ly/lpK8XN (iPhone, iPod, iPad)
I am in the same boat as you; all my friends are iOS users. I just can’t get away from Androids freedom!
