do you have to be on wifi or something for this app to work with video chat? i tried it yesterday with my gf and the video is extremely laggy and i can barely even tell who's on the other end of the chat bc it constantly freezes... maybe its me but it seems to not work AT ALL like a video chat should.
Generally, the faster your internet connection the better the video quality is.
Sounds like you might've been in an EDGE only area.

The Youtube Apps stopped working on my Nexus One. I have the stock rom. I ask my friend to test his and his does not work either. He is using Cyanogen mod 5.0.5. Is anyone else having a problem using the Youtube App? Is there a fix for this? Thanks.
Works fine here.
Think you could be a little more specific about the issue? Saying it doesn't work doesn't tell us anything at all.

Sorry about that. When I try to view a video with the youtube app it opens, but nothings plays in the beginning. Sometimes the audio plays, but you see no video. If you skip forward, you will see the video stopped and the audio continues to play. I sometimes receive the error message: "Sorry, this video is not available". I have tried this using wifi and 3G with the same result. This also happens to videos I used to be able to play using the browser. Everything worked fine about a week ago. It seemed to just stop working all of a sudden.
Fine here (UK) on Wifi and as a bonus I just watched the chatroulette piano guy that was featured and it is brilliant so thanks for getting me to test so I could see that

in my experience, that happens when the video isn't formated (or format isn't available) for mobile screen/in mobile format/whatever.
nothing is wrong with the youtube app itself.
My problem with the YouTube app is that it often takes 'forever' to start playing the video! In fact, sometimes it will never start.
Somewhat embarassing when my wife's iPhone 3G can get to the same video and play it immediatly....
Have you tried watching in High Quality instead?
I have the same problem but in a different app, Tubedroid where downloaded videos can't be seen even though I can hear it. Turns out I can't download videos in HD, only high quality.

I hate this also. I pretty much gave up on YouTube which is crazy because you would think Google would support their own software the best.
Yeah, on stock youtube takes foorrrrrever to load up a video, even on a wifi connection. Oddly enough, the version that comes with Modaco's Desire ROM loads 'em up right fast. Weird.
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!!!
This is a fairly known issue for other samsung devices with gingerbread, but just so everyone is aware it's a QIK specific issue as far as I can tell.
Inverted video (upside down) when you use the default QIK video chat app.
i'm running bionix and i downloaded the qik video chat app from the market. I try to video chat with another sgs4g running completely stock, but it always disconnects regardless of signal strength or wifi. i tried connecting to another vibrant 4g and i get the same problem. it seems to be an issue with my phone because the other 2 can video chat fine. any known issues/fixes for a problem like this? thank!
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
Just wondering if anyone had tried hangout video chat or Skype video and experienced any problems.
I know it can be affected by many things such as the strength of the connection as well as the hardware on both sides, but compared to m my previous Lg G2, video conferencing is rather bad.
For one, the video is choppy, as if the phone is having a problem proceeding all the video feed.
For two, an unexpected problem is the counter part hears their voice echo way louder than mine. This seems happen because the bottom jbl speaker is tip string and close to the Mic on the bottom, causing the sound feed to echo loudly. Was kinda dumbfounded by this.
Just wanted to ask you guys to see if this happens to everyone, or I just me ...
Otherwise, the phone is quote awesome!
Thanks!
Did a hangouts video chat yesterday. The person I was talking too was slightly grainy on an iPhone 6 and her voice was breaking up pretty consistently. With that said, she could hear and see me clearly so it might have just been a bad connection on her end. She was connected to Wi-Fi and it is pretty spotty at her place.
