Hello forum,
For some reason I video on skype doesn't work at all. I can verify that everything is turned on to allow video. but when I make a call, it starts the camera, and when the call is answered the video shuts off on both ends.

this is a known problem, something on skype's end is borked.. Afaik all phone's on 2.2 FroYo can't take advantage of the front camera due to app/software restrictions, but is reported to work fine on GB. tango works for me however
Yeah I know about the front camera, but the back cam is what shuts down. I don't know if it is my Dad's mac that has an out of date OS on it, my pc will work perfectly with him though, and he does have the latest skype

Anyone got this to work on your g tablet? I'm getting pops and static on TNT lite.
Anyone got any videochat to work?
AAAHHHH
I am getting the popping and crackling feedback too......Are the speakers broken?
half the time my speakers don't even work, If I boot and they do they stop working as soon as my screen sleeps if not crackle and pop
Also playing with the volume when the sound isn't working will almost certainly force my Gtab to reboot......any ideas?
I have not tried video chat so no clue if it works
yea I'm getting the pop/crack on the test call as well, mp3's play fine, I'm running CM b4.
+1 for the pop/crackle. I was able to get Yahoo working though, at least it appeared to work. My buddy didn't answer the call, but I was able to see myself.
EDIT: I'm still stock, but rooted. Haven't tried any roms yet. Just got mine last night. (Love it by the way.)
Anyone know anything about Skype and getting it to work? I got it installed, but don't see an option for video calling.
im having the same problem with fring
Tango wont install correctly
Skype doesnt support video chat
im going to try knocking or qik next
As of right now, Yahoo Messenger appears to be the only one that works.

Yup. I used Yahoo Messenger as well and it worked. Only problem is that the video quality is horrible. I switched to my iphone and it was better on both ends. Hopefully we'll get some good video chat app soon!!!
Has anyone been able to get skype video going on the tab plus?
I had it running once after the initial installation. Now it fails every time i try. What's interesting that the other person cannot initiate video on their side as well, as the video button is greyed out.
Working fine here.
hmmmm
maybe something is wrong with my device then.
I thought it could have something to do with me rooting it, so i flashed it back to the stock rom and that did not help.
basically skype can see the camera, but if i try to initiate it during the call it fails. the camera works otherwise.
I just checked the logs and it states that it cannot find the matching codec for local video stream and that the video controller does not support large surfaces???
Did you try switching to the rear camera ?
P_
The problem could be on their end...
Set up a second skype account and log in from a computer that you know video works... then call your tab from there.
Tried switching the camera and using a different account, but nothing works.
Also tried getting the modified version of skype and forcing the video, still nothing.
Changing the resolution does nothing as well.
If I try to do video call, the video show up initially and when the person picks up, it goes to black screen. I cannot view other person's video as well.
Problem solved, I went and had the Tab replaced ...
I have just installed VeganTab 7.1 in my aging g Tablet. It seems to work pretty well - except for Skype. I can call the Skype Test Center all right, but I can't hear the recording from that site. I know the sound system is working, for I get sound all right from other applications. In particular, when I turn the tablet on and Skype gets automatically launched, I can hear the sound emitted by Skype when getting online.
Is this something other VeganTab 7.1 have observed? Are there any reasonable ways to fix this problem?
Never mind

Well, I signed into Skype under a different id and now it works fine. I still don't understand what the original problem was though.

Is it still workin for ya? I'm running the same rom and cannot figure it out
Hey I have searched the forum and so far I have yet to find a solution to my problem. I have the Droid RAZR Maxx HD running on Jellybean. I am not sure if the problem was present before I upgraded to Jellybean.
I don't use video chat very often, but sometimes it comes in handy. Especially handy when you're troubleshooting something remotely. Ok I have tried Tango, Skype, Fring, ooVoo, Google Talk video, and Facebook video. Each one of them seem to do something different. Tango will dial the other person up and start my camera, but it will never let us connect. When I attempt to hang up a Tango call all it does is turn the green light off under the video camera icon, and the video camera stays on. I have to press the home button and force close the app. Skype will just force close if I attempt a video call as will Google+. The ooVoo app allows the video to work fine on both ends but we have zero audio and I've been unsuccessful finding anything in settings to change that. The Fring app let's the other person see me (they were on a Samsung Galaxy Note II), and we can hear each other. I can only see my own camera on my screen, though. So far ooVoo and Fring seem to be the closest to being working apps for me, but they still are not functional enough to be of any use. I contacted Verizon about this on the phone twice and visited the store once. The guy on the phone this morning said that it was likely something with the jellybean upgrade. The guy at the store last night said his works fine with the same kind of phone, but I'm not sure about that personally because I never saw him get it to work. The only phone he tried to initiate a video call with was mine. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me figure out how to get around this. By the way, I also tried clearing the cache and the data for Tango and uninstalling, installed an older version of Tango from Google, but that only force closed. Please let me know if you need more information to help solve this issue, and thanks in advance.
Anyone ? ? ?

I have a VZW Galaxy S3 running CyanogenMod 10.1.2. I noticed that autofocus on the rear camera works fine during video recording with the Camera app, but it does not work at all during Skype calls. When I go up close to something, it is out of focus and it does not try to focus on it. Is this normal behavior?
Sorry to repost in my own thread, but it's been a week and no response... does anyone know how to enable autofocus in Skype video calls?
After another month, nobody knows if this is possible?
Well, now it's been another two months. I'm still wondering if there is a way to enable continuous autofocus during Skype calls.
After another four months, nobody knows the answer? Surely there must be a way?
Sorry i don;t have the answer either but i have same issue on ios you just press screen it refocus but on android it just refuses to focus... and the video quality seems degraded too. why?
