Although the phone has no front facing camera, I have attempted to use yahoo messenger and video feed was showing on screen but I'm not sure it I had connected, if live feed would of worked..than again if it does work the only thing is the user on the other side of the conversation only sees what's behind the users reach

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
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

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
does anyone know if any apps use the front-facing camera on the thunderbolt?
I use Tango. I think skype video is coming out soon too
Kind of silly to release hardware like that without built in companion software to use with it?
if you go into setting in the camera app, it allows you to use the front facing camera
Fring, Yahoo IM, Tango(this is what I use for now) I think Qik is in the market also , hope this helps

Yahoo messenger works but only on wifi and 3G. if you are on 4G, the app force close
i just wish skype would release their app with video calling support, like NOW!

Fring does not use the front camera on the TB... Yahoo is too small on the screen and Tango sometimes has issues... Also, QIK in the market is NOT the video chat version. Currently there is no version of QIK for the TB that gives you video chat... So stupid... Release this thing with ZERO choices!
So does anyone know when video skype is comming out
I'm using tango right now but the sound quality its terrible. Anybody have a better suggestion ?
does any really even use video calling here?
I tried using Tango and even on wifi it is slow. The sound/video is choppy. I installed Fring but havent tried it as of yet.
I actually like Tango. It's really one of the only apps ive used for this but seems to run fine for me. A bit lagged initially but once connected, works fine.
I wish Skype had support for the Atrix and video calling (

I'm with bell mobility I very frustrated... My phone freeze and audio quality it's very bad... I have a big distortion.... ... Fring tango... Not working
I use tango, honestly I only used it once with a guy on an iPhone and I know my reception was crap, it worked out pretty well considering though...

I've been trying a number of different options:
1. Tango. This one works the best. We've had good luck with it - if you can connect to the server. Most of the time we get a good connection, but sometimes we can't connect to the server. I'm not sure if it's because of the speed of our Internet at the time, or an overloaded server on their part. One of the things I really like about it, though, is that you can use it with anyone on apple or android OS who has at least one video camera. If they only have a rear-facing camera, it works. They just can't see you at the same time that you see them. We've used in on the Atrix, iPhone 3GS and iPad 2. Other pluses are that it can be used over WIFI or 3G and it rings on the recipients device whether they are logged in or not. It rings just like a phone call would. Audio seems good to me - once I turned up the volume.
2. Fring - that just keeps crashing on my phone. I haven't gotten very far.
3. Qik - The video that it took and uploaded would not play. Horrible quality. Not sure what the problem was.
4. Oovoo. It will work on a computer. Looks like it has possibilities, but it does not yet totally support the Atrix or the iPhone. I installed it on my Atrix. You can open it, but the call is still not totally working right. They say they are working hard to make it compatible with more phones.
5. Skype - I guess we all know about the audio problem here. That static makes it unusable for a voice call. Why oh why can't we get that fixed and add video? Skype says it's working on it for the Verizon network. Can they do that - just have android video Skype on one network? Skype video works great on our iPad 2. We can prop it up and have long conversations with the relatives.
tango video is ok for me however teh audio is soo choppy i cannot carry a conversation. Soo much for a front facing camera
I use qik, works well for me. Though I only video with the wife on her atrix also, so not sure how it is cross phone types.
Tango was horrid on the audio for me also..
I hear the yahoo messenger plugin for video chat works (even phone to PC) except only on the back camera... front cam doesn't seem to work on alot of the phones with it.
Using Qik for Atrix. Works great for me. Don't really video chat with anyone on another OS so this works great.
I've tried the Qik app, but it didn't list any of my contacts. And that made it a hassle to use. Tango seems simpler. All your contacts are updated. Qik doesn't have this ability apparently. Tango on the other hand was very "choppy" for me too. The lag between video and audio drives me crazy. But as most have said, this only seems to happen when reception is poor. I've had nothing but bad experiences with Qik. Its been hit or miss with Tango. But I'm gonna stick with it. I'm gonna be deleting Qik soon, Too much hassle.

any know any video calling that will work with iphones video calling? sorry for nub question
if Tango wasnt such terrible quality...I can confirm it is cross platform.
Fring works fine for me, ffc works, sound is fine, just no way to call a pc.

there is a copy of skype video already out but i did not try it in my Atrix yet.
I think it's only for HTC Thunderbolt
droid-life.com/2011/04/11/download-skype-with-video-on-android/
I've tried Movicha and for whatever reason the PC only receives the audio from the gTablet, not the video.
I've also tried vTok. I'm able to get A/V on both devices but the picture is rotated on its side (and, no, turning the camera doesn't work).
I just now tried Yahoo Messenger as well and it has the same issues as Movicha (though I realize it's in beta and only officially supports the MyTouch 4G and EVO)
Is there any other way to do video chat with a PC on the gTablet?
I don't know what to use either. Been messin with video chat between gtab and PC all week.
What I've discovered:
Yahoo --> PC works kinda
I could never get the video addon to mesh with the yahoo msngr app quite right, had to reinstall for every use on tnt lite and with vegan 5 won't work at all
when it did work audio was unreliable and video eventually got unusable
vTOK --> best audio but video was atrocious
movicha --> seems like it would be best but I have same problem you do and can't receive audio from pc to droid either (dont have web cam to test right now).
I guess fring worked with skype last year until skype pulled support so verizon could have exclusive access or some BS like that.
In other words bad news all around
Try tango
Edit: Sorry looks like its cross mobile platform but not on pc

Here is a version of yahoo messenger that works.
PS - If at first it doesn't work, change to back cam and then back. Or shake the device. Or do something. If you just give up after 2 seconds of trying, I highly recommend you get the ipad.

Yes.................
I read that Skype finally updated their Android app to allow video calls. We use skype on the netbook, and I look forward to being able to use it on the gtablet soon for video.
Has anyone tried the new release of Skype yet?
At this point in time its only for gingerbread and is available for only four devices.
