Correction (for you) - You mean that video calling is now supported on more devices. It was already supported on a few and now its updated to support more.
Im using GB with insertcoin - how do i use the video calling, dont see an option anywhere? Will this only work with Stock ROMs?

Your device has to be supported to use video calls. The fact that you have the app, does not mean your device is supported for video calling. Read the "description" of it on the market to see if your device is supported (Supported device are listed there).

Hi!
Is there any Android app that enables high-quality video calls (like Skype) to other users on a desktop computer that works with the Galaxy Tab and its front camera? I don't care if this would imply a certain ROM.
Skype including video support doesn't seem to be available for Android, neither does GTalk (am I right?). I tried vtok to do a video call to a GTalk Account but the video quality was awful.
Any ideas what I might try?
Thank you in advance!

Try this:
http://www.oovoo.com/
For PC, Mac, Android and I think that it is also available for iOS
The android app runs fine in my Galaxy tab but I haven't tested it on a video call
Are you running gingerbread? Get the talk installer from the market to have working video chat through gtalk.

i use oovoo to chat with my gf, tab>laptop, and it works great over 3G, she says video quality is really good.

you can use the gingerbread version of gtalk on the tab and the browser version of gtalk on the pc (it will ask you to install video plugin)

yea why not google talk? Newer androids and all computers basically support it.

There's a modified Yahoo Messenger that work just fine on the TF.

Anyone have a working apk for Qik video chat? The wife has the Sensation and I've been looking for a video chat compilable with it. Google Talk won't work since the Sensation runs 2.3.3, not 2.3.4.
Qik is now Skype. Does not support video chat on Tf as of now

Google Chat has the best video and audio clarity out of everything I tested.
I had tango working on my tf, but it sounds like crap and the video is fuzzy.
Pretty crazy that you are using the same hardware and you get a different output depending on the program you are using. I guess tango does some type of compression or something.

Okay, sorry if this is very obvious but how do you get google talk/chat on the TF. I can't find it in the market and if i go to through the browser it says that it needs to install the plug in?
Hmm, everyone keeps saying use google talk. However I must be missing something.
I have "allow video and voice chats" checked in, but I can not initiate video chat with any of my contacts.
I don't have even an option to activate video chat...

It will only work with other users who have a client that supports video chart (those logged in through Gmail / Google Talk on their tablet / Google Talk on their phone).

For those users not on 2.3.4/Android, they can download and install Vtok
What we need here is FaceTime for Android - I've been using it to talk with my father and it's worked flawlessly. Smooth video, easy connection.
I've had lots of problems with video chat apps for android with video's being upside down or problems connecting - even google talk was hard to get working from PC to Tablet

I am able to vidchat wih no issue via GChat over 4G and wifi. Tango works too..,I have LG Gslate

HOw do you get Tango to work!? It keep asking me for a phone number!
On a side note, Google Talk works GREAT!!! I wish they add support for Google+ Hangout feature so you can chat with a bunch of people... that'd be awesome!
Hello from germany -
is there any hack what implements the skype video call option to HTC ChaCha?
Thanks for your help...
Alex
hey there, I don't think there is a hack. You can try downloading Skype and see if the video call functionality is already working out of the box...
or you can also wait for the Skype to implement the functionality on our phone, if you check the Skype android app page, you can see which phones are already available for video calls.

Try the link above you.
it s working normally without set up anything else
I cannot get it to work
Hi. I have a ChaCha running 2.3.5 with S-ON.
I checked the link posted previously, downloaded the app, but still no video settings in Skype settings. I'm sure the phone hardware is ok for video calling, because I can use Tango for video calls, but I will really like to use skype as well. Any help please?
Thanks.
Skype is not working on chacha because it require ARMv7 CPU.
Anyone tried this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.oovoo
Its cross platform and more importantly free.
Give it a try.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using xda premium
It's not compatible with the chacha..
Neither Skype nor Google Talk work with Video chat on the Chacha yet (although there is a "Video for Google Talk" app, but this does not work well.
I was able to install Yahoo Messenger with Video but I did not test it, since none of my friends used Yahoo Messenger and also this as always autostarting - so i deleted it. But I think Yahoo video talk should work.
I really don't understand why Google does not improve Google Talk. I like it more than Skype, but it's not clear why it doesn't even support voice talk on some phones.
I usually use Yahoo!

Audio/video chat support came to gtalk for android as early as android v 2.3.5, but some manufacturers still omit it in their ROMS, dunno why.
If your phone is rooted, you can try installing InfectedRom V1 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449318
It has Gtalk audio/video chat built in, and also free of samsung's bloatware. I have used it for a few weeks, works like a charm.
Use Vtok
You can use the app Vtok which is freely available in Market.
I have used it and it works fine for a free app.
Hope this helps.

Can anyone help? I am running Hellfire Phoenix's newest rom on my g2x and i can not make video calls via messenger,skype, ext, ext. I'm sure its a setting and not the rom.(rom is awesome) I have searched for a week and can not find an answer. I have noticed some users only had the back camera working with a video call but there was a fix for that. My problem is no matter what app i use i do not have the option of video calling only voice or text. is this a missing driver problem? its like my camera's are not seen using any app for video calls.
Thanks
HF Phoenix is ICS based or GB? If ICS based, that's the problem
