Hi , I haven't seen this posted but is anyone else facing terrible video quality on 3P apps like Whatsapp , Meet , Zoom etc for video calls ? The front camera is fine when using it via the native camera app but something goes terribly wrong to the image on video calls .
No reviewers are talking so i'm wondering if select devices have the issue. Is there a potential software fix for it?

I don't have this issue in WhatsApp video calling with my device (I videocall my mom once a day kek)
yes, i can confirm.
During videocall on whatsapp the front camera is blutty\out of focus
Google said it's not a known issue and asked me to send it to the service center for replacment . They tested it using their "advanced diagnostic software", found no issues and sent back the same device. My video calls still look like crap . But its strange to see it's not a uniform issue .

Even I have the same issue and I am surprised that no one is talking about it. My video calls look like from 2mp camera. Were you able to find any fix for it ?
Yes it's an issue affecting several apps, also meet has the same issues. I have been experiencing the same problem with those apps. With meet it helps by switching the camera to front and back then back again to front. Seems to help the WhatsApp too.

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 I don't know if it is my Dad's mac that has an out of date OS on it, my pc will work perfectly with him though, and he does have the latest skype
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?
Is anyone else getting the error "Recording in Process in another app. Cannot Record." when opening the camera app for Verizons Z3V??
All other apps are closed so I'm not sure what this is referring to.
It also lets me record after receiving that error.. is this a bug or what

It is because of google now.
It actually still works fine, but google now is interfering with the input sensors so the camera thinks there is another recording going on. Just click OK and use your camera as normal.

I am sure they are, but you can check their support pages and add one if there is not already one.
I get the same message, except it will not let me record video. This is turning into a major problem quick.
Easy workaround!
If clicking ok after the error is too much...
1. Open Google Now
2.Go to Settings
3.click on Voice
4.click on "Ok Google" Detention
5. Unselect "from any screen"
Voila, I know because it was exactly after I selected that function that I started to have the error.
This is.just a.work arround but at least you know your z3v is not corrupted or broken...hopefully sony will.fix this soon
I am experiencing this. Is this the situation for all Z3's or should I go back to the store to change mine. I actually like having the Okay Google active on all screens
Please people if you guyes have permanent solution for that then please inform me as well because I have issue with sony c4 andI also wanted to use ok google. my email is [email protected]
I'm having problems with the video camera, I get the message that says there is something recording in another app but still won't let me use the video camera. Is there a way to fix this????
Hi, recently baught Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 plus with original ROM as is. It is awesome. But there is a very strange issue with it. After installing apps all those for communication between people like viber, skype, messenger etc. are working fine. But when I started to use native camera app for some time it is working good and can record video with sound but at some later point (don't know why and how), it can't record video with sound anymore. After reset factory settings to start over, camera again can record video with sound. I also experiment after installing each app related to the use of microphone if it make mic not working but this is not the case. Well after many tries to identify the problem I downloaded an app for recording only audio. It is called voice recorder. And surprisingly for me it turned microphone on and after using it, it enables the mic and then immediately after that I can record video with sound from the native camera app. It seems come flag identifying the mic is enabled is turned on and off in defferent conditions. So how can I solve this problem? Tried to use feedback from the tablet but it is not working for some reason, when I hit send button to report this issue it gives some error on chinese which I can't understand. Thank you
