Ok, so I've installed Skype for Windows Mobile, 3.0 Beta.
Is there a way to utilize the Sprint Touch Pro's camera for video calls?
OR
Has anyone figured out a way to attach a USB webcam and use it? Kind of stinks the CDMA Touch Pro only has the one camera.
No Skype doesnt support it, maybe on a tegra cpu in the future
skype does support video chat. The question is better clarified as:
Since Skype supports video chat on its mobile software as per skypes website, and since the CDMA version of the phone only has the back camera, is there a way to utilize the camera on the back of the phone to work with skypes option to video chat?
actually that isnt a bad idea but may not be possible yet since skype already uses alot of batter, cput and memory power
"Since Skype supports video chat on its mobile software as per skypes website"
got a link for that ?
because my x1 got a frontcam and don't support video calls
every test i've seen of even the new skype state it don't
and i can't see it on their site
Hey, someone over in the EVO forum posted the new yahoo messenger app that includes video chat from the leaked mytouch HD ROM. It appears to function using the rear camera on the vibrant.
Haven't been able to test it out fully yet cause I don't know anyone who actually uses yahoo messenger.
Hopefully someone can get this working with the FFC Mod as it should allow phone to computer video chat.

Likely the build.prop will needed edited like it does for fring & tango to work correctly with the FFC mod.
ill try it out i still use yahoo messenger
tested on vibrant.....quality sucks but it works for sure but both parties should have camera
So its only two way.
it works its a step forward thats for sure it looks like you have a option to switch cameras aswell on it
Combine this with the TV Out option and should even allow you to see the screen while you faced the rear camera toward you in a dock or something. An obvious advantage would be no computer / PC webcam needed at least.
I have tried to sign in with my screen name and my wives. The app always says that there have been too many sign in attempts and that the login from the device has been temporarily disabled.
me and my friend tried it (both with vibrant FFC Mod) after changing the build.prop and it works but doesn't seem to detect FFC. It uses the rear camera and not able to switch between front and rear cam even though I see the option to. Tango works however
Tried this yesterday between a PC and my Vibrant on 3G. Works great, but only with rear camera. Haven't done the FFC mod. Video quality is so-so, but I'm glad to have something that I can talk to my PC buddies with (still mourning the loss of Skype in Fring). The video is a plus. Can't wait for this to become a public app.
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
Has anyone got any sort of video calling working on the X2? I've downloaded the hacked Skype that lets you manually enable video calling, but checking the "force enable" box just makes Skype force close forever. I also can't ever get video from the other person, either on 3G or WiFi. Any success? I'd really love to have Skype, especially if I could send video. Even with only the back camera it's better than nothing.
I have never understood why we are not allowed to call with a back camera. I can easily set the kickstand on my case and transmit video. I understand that it would be difficult to see the other person's video, but I think that is my choice....
The worst part is, you can download the full version of skype that allows you to activate video calling so you dont have to use the hacked version and it still doesnt work.... I tried last night and it never would activate the camera.... And I was skype calling a computer not another phone...

Might try ooVoo..its free in the market. I've used it twice & worked both times, just sucks we only have the camera on back but it works
It's working now with the newest update.
On the newest Skype on the Market, video works just fine for me.
DELETE ME:.e down a couple of paths, none of them successful in the video chat arena. What is the best way to get the best quality video chat using the TP Prime?
It doesn't seem like Skype or Google+ Hangouts are working with ICS. Tango seems to be a phone only offering.
Is there something I am missing?
skype works fine.
skype works fine for me with ICS. what problems are you having?
Mods please delete thread.
Sorry about that, got it working after clearing out data. It was crashing at login for me, but now works fine.
