I have seen all of these threads about how skype works now with the new update.
I don't even know where to get skype for my phone!
The market has a skype but it doesn't have video....
... where can i get a skype app that I can video chat with?
Skype for Android with video capability has not yet been released.
Skype and 2.3.4
Skype 2.0.0.27 works fine in 2.3.4 as far as the audio that made the app unusable before. It works crisp clear (Wi-Fi have not tried 3g) . No signs of video as of today. As I understand skype is working on the matter.

Has anyone come up with a way to use Skype for Android to be able to place video chat calls? The fact that the Archos 101 has a front facing camera really makes me wish this would work. But the Skype available in the Google Market does not support video chat.
I've heard that the HTC Thunderbold and the new Moto BIONIC will both have Skype Video integrated.
Are we basically waiting on another android device to have that functionality so we can reverse engineer it onto our devices? Or is there another way around this limitation?
Skype is still working on getting video calling to Android. They just purchased Qik too, which should help!

It seems they "sold" the first working video version of skype to Motorola, so once the xoom is out, there'll be Skype AKPs floating around... with the hope that it doesn't heavily rely on Honeycomb.
I think Verizon gets first dibs on Skype video chat. Then probably after a year it will be open to all devices.
Moved to general as not andorid development
I have been using Tango. It works great.

well "Skype with Video" was just released for the Thunderbolt only ... waiting on a fine XDA member to crack it for the rest of the mass (xoom please!)
link can be found @ Androidandme ....won't post it here
Has anyone found a good video chat app? I am looking for something that I can chat between my Atrix and my Macbook.
Under Android Market .. search for Qik Video for Atrix .. works like a charm, utilizes the front camera on the Atrix 4G.
I downloaded Qik, but I couldn't figure out how to use it on my laptop. There doesn't seem to be a desktop client.
I'm looking for this as well.
Qik looks to be mobile-to-mobile only, and Skype has no video on Android. Skype recently bought Qik though, so it's likely they'll release something eventually ... but that doesn't help us yet.
Yahoo and ooVoo are alternatives I've found on Google for Android, but both are limited to specific devices (which of course doesn't include the Atrix as of yet).
On a somewhat related topic, I'm also looking for a video chat program (for PC/Linux) that would let me record both ends of a live video chat -- this is for the purpose of starting a library of videos discussing family history with relatives that are not local.
FRING
FRING is also a good video chat, but also NOT working on Atrix yet....

Good to know, I was just thinking about trying it.
Fring though only appears capable of doing video chat from mobile-to-mobile. It supports text and probably voice chat to a variety of other services, but not video. It seems that they did support Skype video at some point, but then dropped the feature.
I wonder what makes video chat from phone-to-PC so difficult . . .
Oovoo works on the atrix...Tango is the best client but is not supported on the Atrix yet. I e-mailed Tango along with other users and they replied that they just got their hands on the device and are working on a fix
Hi guys, I'm interested in the GS2. Which video chat apps are confirmed/tested?
I normally use Tango, sometimes Qik, or Fring. I'll appreciate all feedback
Any Galaxy S 2 owners can test this for me?
when I got my SGS2 yesterday, I decided to also test the video chat.
Then I realized I have not a single friend I could call with an Android video phone.
And my iPhone friends do not use third party video chat apps.
Is there any app that would be able to call iPhone Face Time client? Probably no.
fring or tango should work for video calls.
btw, there's no android app to call factime...
DELETE ME:.e down a couple of paths, none of them successful in the video chat arena. What is the best way to get the best quality video chat using the TP Prime?
It doesn't seem like Skype or Google+ Hangouts are working with ICS. Tango seems to be a phone only offering.
Is there something I am missing?
skype works fine.
skype works fine for me with ICS. what problems are you having?
Mods please delete thread.
Sorry about that, got it working after clearing out data. It was crashing at login for me, but now works fine.
I have 2.3.4, and Skype 2.9.0.0315. In an older version I was able to do Skype Video, but haven't used for a while, and upgraded, and now am not seeing video option when I try to Skype to a friend (that DOES have Skype Video). Has Skype done something to limit me from doing Video??? It used to work great. I know back a year ago, i had to download a version of Skype that had a patch, then sometime later, Skype allowed it to work, but now it is not allowing video again... any ideas? (I tried searching for an answer but couldn't find... sorry if i missed it!)...
I have uninstalled and re-installed... still not Video capability that I can see.
