I am looking for the Best video call app.
Just got my wife a spare streak and would like to video chat with her when I am at work, check on the babies.. etc..
Tried tango and it was garbage, I was never able to make a call, unless we were on the same wifi network.
What do you guys use? what works well?
Oovoo?
Fring?
anyone get google talk video to work with streak?

Fring works for me and my girlfriend.
Skype acquired Qik, and the latter has video chat capability.
Not sure if its the best one in the Android market though...

It is called Qik Video version 0.04.94 and it has options for
1.Video Chat
2. Record and Share
3. Video Mail
In the Market it is titled Qik for Motorola Atrix
Trouble with Qik is that it is not as popular as Skype. Good news is Skype bought Qik so hopefully the two will merge so we can video chat with Qik AND Skype users. Here's hoping.

Guess fring does not support the front camera on the atrix. Just tried and and that's a "no go" on the front camera. Bummer...
Question is if any of the video calling programs will work with the crippled upload speeds. With Wifi it will work of course....
I and my wife both had iPhone 4 so we could facetime. Now I upgraded to Atrix. Is there anyway we can still do video chat? I thought of using yahoo messenger but it only shows back camera... no front camera...
Get Skype for iPhone. Video calling for android skype is about to be released.
hAVEN'T TRIED IT YET BUT TRY THIS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960942 SRY4CAPS
I'm quite interested in this as well.
please keep me informed.
thanks!

Use Tango
I use Tango. It's cross platform so you can video chat from Android to iPhone.
Skype still doesn't support video for Android but they are working on it.

Tango works on the Atrix and iPhone 4, my wife and I use it. I do not believe any other video chat app will currently work cross platform with the Atrix.

I know we had the fix before but after the mandatory update of y! messenger it no longer works... I was wondering if anybody has an updated fix?
Since I've gotten my thunderbolt I haven't been able to successfully video chat using any applications. And I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem or if it was just me

I'm using Qik on CM7.
The only issue it has is the fact that the other party sees me upside down.
Thanks for the response im guessing that means the problem is with all thunderbolts

The leaked version of Skype worked alright on mine
Tango works ok with crappy quality with iBoners and an atrix
Sent from my ADR6400L
has anybody used the new fring group chat or qik app? how are those working?
The leaked Skype works great, sound is alot better than Tango. Also the Skype works with Bluetooth which I could never get with Tango. I just can't get it to work on CM7, but I just got gTalk to work on CM7. Haven't been able to test it out but it installs and says I'm avaliable for audio and video chat. Ill update once I get home and check tho.
(Edit-- well gTalk looked good, but it was force-close city and no video. Tried clearing cache and fix permissions, but still no go. Back to Dad BAMF and Skype video for now, I guess.)

You know there was also a similar problem worth the xoom. You may want to look at how they got gtalk to work.
Yep, the leaked Skype is probably one of the best options at the moment, until we get Google's upcoming video chat, at least.
Yahoo messenger is where its at

I didnt think the leaked version of Skype was secure.
In this article on Droid-Life, it specifically states: "NO, the leaked Skype with video has not been fixed."
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/04/2...y-vulnerabilities-fixed-3g-calling-tossed-in/
So, is it safe to be using the leaked version?
Qik, skype, fring, tango, yahoo messenger - pick your poison. They all work

Did u try oovoo . com (I can not put links becouse I'm a nooby) hope you're like it
i didnt try the most recent version but the older one surely didnt work
Fring maybe? Never tried it myself but heard good things about it.

Many things show up as incompatible. You need to side-load the apk.

There was a working tutorial for fring around here. I'll see if I can find it.

Fring & Skype Test AIT 101
I've tested the newest Versions of Skype and Fring. Only Fring has shown video, and that was in a testing scenario.
Fring-The feed appeared choppy and laggy.
Sype-Other person in the call(which i attempted repeatedly to make VideoChat from both ends) could hear me perfectly aside from the echo from the speakers(just add headphones) but I wasn't visible, and neither was he.
Archos IT 101
Try SipDroid VideoSMS
Yahoo Messenger with Video plugin works.
Have you tried reelportal? It uses Adobe Air. I tried it on my phone, but I can't remember if I tried it on the Archos (which I don't have available right now to check). It's a bit different from most other options, but it does let you video chat to PCs.

Oovoo is a video calling that I use to see my friends and it isn't supported for Atrix, is it possible someone could like crack the app and make it so it will run on the Atrix?

It actually works just fine on the atrix if you can find the newest apk... don't know why they don't support it

How were you able to get it working on your Atrix? Where did you download the newest apk from? Any help would be appreciated.
love oovoo! appreciated in advance if somebody will take the time and make the app!
Does anyone care to share the apk for it? I believe its on version 1.2.0 right now. Thank you.

The reviews of this I see online almost all say it's bad on pc's and that the ads on it distribute those fake antivirus trojans. Can anyone provide some more information on this application before I give it a try? Thanks.

On my atrix it shows the FFC in the top left. Here everything looks great. But when you connect to someone else, their video of you is turned up side down. Anyone else getting this?

i found a new version which is working well in my atrix. i have been using oovoo for long time since it allows multiple video call for free and now it works with the atrix so it is great news
you need to install this apk becuase the one in the market doesn't allow video call
