So I was trying to talk to my friend over Google Talk with video chat... it would connect, but then no video would be sent or recieved... We could hear each other talk, however...
Same thing happened when I tried on Skype. She's got an HTC Sensation...
So then I made a throwaway Skype account on my laptop, called my phone via Skype Video Message, and talked to myself for a few seconds, made a few faces, and had an all around jolly time...
Any ideas why it works for computer to phone, but not phone to phone?

I got the Atrix 4G this morning (Feb. 21) and since I've had Android I have always wanted to know what the best way to save battery power is. Any help?
Also me and my friend like to video chat. I used to use Tango on my Captivate and it doesn't work on the Atrix (it keeps crashing). My friend is using a different Android device and I wanted to know if there was any good video chat/call apps that work well and aren't a pain to use.
If anyone could help that would be very nice.
try using qik there's a version specific for the atrix out there
have you tried skype?

My Skype has no video chat option. Fring is supposed to though.
What about yahoo messenger? It is supposed to have video chat but I have not tried it.
Go with TANGO. IMHO
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I have tried Tango, but it keeps ending the call when I turn on video.

I can confirm that Tango also doesn't work for me. It crashes out quickly.
I don't want to have to sign up with qik for video chat. I was under the impression Tango worked better.

QIK is the only one that worked for me so far. But it was terrible quality no where near as good as face time
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...
I plan on buying a Flyer/stylus for work tomorrow, but was curious if anyone had tried GTalk's video chat, or if it is even available on the Flyer yet? I've read that it's not, but I know there are differences... If not GTalk, is anyone using any other Video chat apps? Qik? ooVoo? Fring? I'd like to use my Flyer to see my Daughter who lives 2,000 miles away from me...
Thanks in advance!
I tried out vtok (Google mobile video chat or something like that) and was able to get it to work, but the quality was pretty bad.
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.
