Does this phone support video calling natively? Or can I install an app from the market or use a Custom ROM to enable this feature?
no front cam=no video call. Same sadness here too! :'(
But there are some apps which support back camera for video, i think you should check out Ovoo app,try googling it!

I wanted to get a budget phone for my mother so that we could video / audio chat and now with both of having 3G I was looking for an option for Video Calls as well..
I came across the perfect phone! Motorola Fire XT530.. got it at an amazing price of 12.2K along with loads of free accessories.
I am a happy man today!

So I was just on the tmobile site looking at the Streak 7 and while reading the description it said

I tried looking on the android market, but the version on there doesn't have a video calling feature. Is there an .apk for it floating around?
I really want to try this as it has much more features (and better quality possibly) than Fring.
floating around right here....
just hit thanks button!
Thanks!
But this doesn't have the video call option?
probably not for us streakers... sorry.
email the Qik team and tell em to get going with an update damnit.
We should send them a bunch. Video calling in the states is lagging SO far behind the UK.
I hope someone develops an IM program that supports the streaks FFC too. The yahoo apps webcam support is a joke. I was getting like 1 frame/5 seconds and at really low res

Fring? have you tried that?
Sorry I should have specified, an IM program that supports video calling to other IM services on the computer (AIM, YAHOO, MSN, etc.) I have fring for video calling already
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

As we can do video chat using back camera is there any app for video call using back camera.

video call not possible
Video call using back camera (which is possible on Nokia e63) is not possible on Galaxy 3
Dont know if thats gonna be feasible...imo.
Turning the phone up and down. Lolzzz
Are you looking for something like Fring?
I had read this article about this app some time back. It might be what you are looking for. Download Link.
Would it be possible through software update or custom rom / kernel to enable Auto Focus while recording video?
It's not the end of the world if we can't enable it, just curious. makes video of anything close pretty much useless.
I have noticed that autofocus does work when the software supports it.
For instance, Tango (video and voice calls) focuses automatically during a video call.
Also there's this software called lgCamcorder which supports autofocus while recording. But it doesn't work on our phone. Is there a way we can get this to work on our phones?

From engadget
Skype 2.5 for Android brings video calls to 14 new devices, including Honeycomb tablets
Dont have the tablet in hand right now. Anyone tried it?
Doesn't work for me.
Edit:
It does work. Had to enable video calling in the settings.
Was wondering about this. May need to try it and see what it's like. Been looking for a video chat app that works well.
mine working too. just enable the video function under the setting menu.

Works but front camera sucks
It works for me but needs LOTS of light for people to see me.
