I installed skype from market on the stock rom and had Video calls. SO far so good.
The same skype backup in moded rom (King Cobra / Leeroid) and I only have voice calls.
I tried downloading and installing again from market buit no joy, no video calls.
It seems skype mabe can't access the front camera in moded roms.
KingCobra and Leeroid both have the Amaze Camera app instead of the standard camera, could this be the problem?
Does anybody have any clues?
If you go into the settings in the Skype app there is a checkbox to enable video calls

none, nothing of the sort because skype doesnt recognise the front camera...I#m sure its because the standard camera app has been replaced with Amaze

that's such a good rom.
I don't see any reason for a ROM to replace the Stock Camera app. It's so good.

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

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."

So, is it safe to be using the leaked version?

its fine as long as you dont go downloading malicious apps from the internet. be smart and youll be ok.
I'm going away for a month and would like to video chat with my wife and baby via my Thunderbolt to her laptop.
I have the Tango app installed, but there is no version that is available for a computer. We all know Skype doesn't support video on our Thunderbolts...yet.
What can I use? Am I missing something?
There is a leaked version of Skype that works well on froyo. Qik is also decent. I also have used oovoo and its quite good on my thunderbolt.

Has anyone had issue with Yahoo IM ? I can't seem to get it to use front facing camera on video chat. This first happen with EVO, but then they fixed in next version.
Anyone?

I have the same problem. Tried to change it while in Messenger then tried to change it to front camera in the camcorder app and then go the Messenger. Still didn't work.
Have you tried Skype? I cant get that to work at all.

That's because you didn't read the previous threads very well.
You installed version 2.0.0.47
The verison that supports video calling for EVO 3D ( Hacked version) is 2.0.0.45. If you update to version 2.0.0.47 you can NO LONGER use video calling on the EvO 3D because it's not officially supported yet.
Skype sucks.
uninstall 47 on Evo3D...video now works
I had (apparently) updated skype to .47 I used market to uninstall, then installed the downloaded .45 version.
When I ran that version it got to the login point and said I had to reinstall skype...
I realized that the original skype client was still running in the background.
I used Task Manager, looked at all running services, and stopped it there.
I then again tried to install the download, this time it took and logged me in.
Then it showed contacts and had an icon if video was available.
So I clicked on this laptop, and boom skype video over wifi!
Then I turned off wifi and tried again...it was obviously slower and choppier and skype complained, but it did show the two way video!
Thanks to all involved!
Skype and 3D
Can someone confirm if the EVO 3D can send 3D video using skype (if both side got a 3D smartphone) ?
I would say no, and even if it could it would force you to use the two cameras on the back. You can't do 3d video with one lense, so with both parties pointing the back two cameras at themselves how would you see what's on the screen?
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?

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
