Hey guys i finally got skype working with this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153285
I am on GummyCharged GBE Beta 2
Works great and switches back and forth between cameras.
Good find, appears the ffc works but I was still unable to video chat with someone using the desktop application. You have anything similar?

It worked fine for me on the desktop side.
Which ROM are you running, and which version did you install?
Thanks!
I'm running humble 1.2 froyo.. Downloaded the one from that forum with the 2 camera version

Working on froyo
Works great for me from phone to PC using gummy 1.8.5 and PBJ
can anyone confirm this works on Eclipse 1.2 (froyo) w/ PBJ (non OC)?
Skype
Thanks for the link...I am an avid skype user and will be trying this out.
I'm running eclipse 1.2 and it works but there send to be a issue with the volume even all the way up in my charge I can barely hear them and they can not hear me at all. And yes I checked to see if we had muted each other lol. If any one knows a correction for this I appreciate it. and this was from charge to pc, haven't tried phone to phone yet.
Swyped on my eclipsed charge
works great for me.
Charge running debloated Ginger.
install.
Run and log in.
Force camera on.
Then you will get a black screen.
Restart.
Video call someone. Switch camera to front. You will get a black screen.
Restart.
Then all is well.
Can switch back between face and forward after that with no issues.
Working on STOCK Droid Charge here.
I was only getting video both ways and receiving audio at first, but after tinkering around with the settings this is now working for me on stock.
Tested only with desktop skype.
Looks like Skype was just updated to allow official video calling on a few devices, and the Charge was one of them.
Doesn't seem to work with the front camera though -_- At least I haven't found a way.

Same here.
Humble Froyo
I was able to video call my coworker's iphone4 using the front camera. No issues, really.
I think HIS connection dropped, which ended the call. Haven't tested since then.
Apparently you must be on gingerbread in order to be able to use the front camera on the updated skype.
Get this, I called my dad using video calling, both on 3g and wifi, and the camera booted up and when it connected the camera shut off and I was in normal call mode, anyone think of whats up with that?

So you know our phones comes with Qik Video Chat. Has anyone used this app? I don't have any friends that have it so I don't know if the picture is in the correct orientation.
Has anyone used other apps like Tango? I tried using Tango with my brother and the orientation is wrong at his end.
So my main question is for those that are using Qik Video Chat. Is the orientation correct on the receiving party's end or is it wrong like with Tango that I'm experiencing with other people?
UNRELEASED UPDATE FOR QIK HERE!!!X.
Yes my wife and I used Qik and it look good, just a little laggy.
Qik
I have not been able to use mine yet. i dont have any friends who have a front faceing camera yet. So right now its a waste of space for me. My girlfriend has a fasinate and she thought, and was told it had a front cam on it but we found out it did not....

I've used Qik - its clear and it does lag. The only thing Im not too happy about is when using any other app such as Tango or Fring u can not utilize the face front camera. Use have to use the camera on the back which sucks. If I had to do that I would've kept my Vibrant. I was told that there may be an update coming out to correct that, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Tango is ok but if I had to choose I would use qik or fring.

What sucks is that you still have to use the rear camera. It won't let you use the face front. I don't want to have to turn my phone around so the other person can see me.....I hope they come out with a update for it. If not Im going to have to get rid of this....I already rooted it and unlocked it....

Update your tango app -- then click the icon at the top right hand corner of your screen and it will rotate from Front to Back

Could you maybe post that apk here? Just back it up with Titanium Backup then upload the apk.
ooVoo, is the best as far as I am concerned. I video chat for hours, and have used Tango, ooVoo, and qik. ooVoo has the best audio quality, video is good also. Tango, has good video quality audio is not so good. And qik. ok. oovoo is the best, you can chat phone to phone and phone to pc.
Qik won't let me switch to the front camera. It says switched to front, but it's not.

Tango is good if you are doing phone to phone or phone to Ipod touch....Oovoo is the best in my opinion because you can do phone to phone, phone to Ipod touch and phone to pc

plz note i have not personally tested this
I tried the Skype version linked above and on wifi, it worked great. Haven't tried it yet on 3G.
Have not tried Google
Skype work great for chat/calls, but video chat uses only the back camera for now till GB is out
If your going from mobile to mobile use Tango, it works flawlessly, and works with both cameras
Also qik video didn't fail me either

G talk works but the front facing camera sends your video feed horizontal when our should be verticle.
Qik seems to work the best for me although the speaker volume is low. I use my ear buds and the volume is usable.

Once GTG recovers from burnout, his Rogers-based GB ROM (which runs on AT&T phones) should become available again.

cm7 and google + hangouts
cm7 does not provide support yet for front camera so you won't get the option to join a hangout. If you go to a site like Gphangout.com and try to join using google+ with cm7 you will get that error about not having a front facing camera. I switched to the GB Leak from Android Police and everything works great now. It is easily rooted too. Did both mine and the wifes TB, took maybe 10 minutes a piece to load, root, and load clockwork recovery.
Good Luck.

That's weird. I use the version of talk with video chat and tango quite often. I wonder why those work but g+ doesn't.

I spent some time working on this and found that if someone starts a hangout from a computer then you have the option to join it from your phone. I am running Gingeritis 3D and I have to turn my phone topside down for the image to look right but it does work.
Hey guys I have a problem with skype video calls. After about 1 minute my outgoing video turns green with like 5 small boxes on top, this only happens with the front camera. Whenever i use the back camera the video is fine, has anybody else had this problem? If so how did you fix it. I am using the latest version of skype I downloaded from the android market. The problem with oovoo is that video does not work on my end at all, and the option to toggle camera is greyed out. I cant even take a picture for my profile. I am using the latest version of oovoo downloade from android market. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Did you say video skype?
yes skype video call, somebody please help.
anybody else having this problem with their g2x, come one somebody please help.

Anybody getting the green screen when video chatting on Skype?
To be honest, you're way ahead of me. Video Skype is non functional on my g2x.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Sorry to hear that, I'm running stock Rom with latest Skype version if that helps. The g2x is supposed to be supported by oovoo but it can't even detect any of my cams. I'm sure someone has to have it working.
I hope someone has it working! I'm stuck using Qik for video communication with family. Kinda annoying asking others do download Qik for my sake.
My skype is working okay. So as gtalk and ym video. I use ffc with bfc toggle. Havent tested oovoo yet, dont have anyone to test with.

Rooting is a risk, it's a decision you have to make...

thanks jose I'll give it a shot, I tried weapon g2x and I could not send or receive a video image in skype. Also tried asop rom and the same thing happened, could not send or receive a video image in skype.
I have the 2.3.6 Gingerbread update (stock, but rooted). Now, I received the G+ update today but still can get video chat going. Tested using both my wifi connection as well as 4g. I tested it against my pc, using my wife's g+ account - no dice. When I try to connect on my phone, it shows the video trying to initiate. That includes, the video on me (asking for me to check my hair before clicking "Hangout"). When I do, I can see myself in the little camera at the bottom, but the main screen - nothing).
FYI, i've contacted VZ tonight and specifically asked the tech of VZ is blocking video chat over 4g and he stated no... that this was one of the features of 4g (can't do it 3g - sorry face time).
What are your experiences?

Thanks for the response. I actually have the infinity rom as well but liked the stock update much better. A friend of mine is going to help me test mine out using the thunderbolt. If it still doesn't work,I'll revert back to the infinity rom.
Okay - so I tested on my existing config mentioned in OP with both:
1. Friend with Thunderbolt
2. My PC
Both work!
