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...

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
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.
I am from Singapore, and my Atrix cannot video call.
What about sets from other part of the world ?
Not through my carrier, but if I use Fring or Tango then I'm able to video call.

I'm in the u.s.. tango, fring, and Qik all work video calling on my Atrix. Qik has a specific version just for the Atrix that works pretty well. All those apps are free. I'm also on at&t by the way also. supposedly yahoo video chat works also but haven't tested that one yet. The first 3, I know works, and pretty well at that.
+1 for Tango.
Tango is the best one out there imho.
Those are all great for phone-to-phone, but unfortunately only Yahoo Messenger works for phone-to-computer chat. I personally dislike Yahoo, but they have a monopoly on this crucial function for the time being.

i use yahoo since everyone else i talk to doesn't have video calling on their phone. it's ok but the others mentioned earlier might be better for calling from phone to phone.
Try the new skype version

This statement is incorrect. Did you read the thread? Does Tango, Fring & Qik not work in your country!? Because here in America: Atrix make video calls!
Atrix calls to PC
Anybody tried Vtok?

it's not a videocall - it's app-to-app call with videofunctionality, but the author asked exactly about videocall - it's a 3g operator function. I wish atrix had it, likeall normal devices.
But as far as i know - there is no such function at all for android
video call on Atrix

Hello, how can i make video call with my Radar? (via mobile operator, not skype, tango!)
You can't you need an app like Skype, or Tango.

I don't understand if you mean "Windows Phone Tango" should have video calling (because it does not, it only has video MMS), or whether you mean the video app tango.
Well ya, like the first person said, you need apps like Skype and Tango. WP8 won't have it either. But it will let these video apps have some integration with the OS.
yeah, i mean native video calls just like the standart phone calls besides 'skype' and 'tango video calls' and other similar 3d party apps
