video conferencing Skype
 

Do we have an idea when Skype with video capabilities will be available for the EVO 3D?

Re: video conferencing Skype
 

It should be... The app is available on the Android Market and the EVO 3D has a front facing camera... So I don't see why it would not be able to run the software.

@AZTECHKA, thank you for your constructive input.
Does anybody have Skype on the EVO … and is the video chat working?

Re: video conferencing Skype
 

I haven't tried Skype but I know Fring works wonderfully on my Evo. Also, throw him a thanks if he helped you out at all :)

Re: video conferencing Skype
 

You are right….@CarlaDarla …. My profile showed that I had the evo and the shift… not sure where that came from…
@AZTECHKA I am thankful for anybody who takes time to help an n00b like me to transition form Windoze to Droid ;=)

Re: video conferencing Skype
 

Oh....Fring… don’t really care so much about what name is on the APP… if it works good I’ll go with that….

Re: video conferencing Skype
 

Yea, it works great for me. It also goes cross-platform as well. It's a winner in my book.

Re: video conferencing Skype
 

good question, we've been waiting for skype video support on the EVO for some time now....

no, skype still does not support video calling....originally Fring supported video calling to skype, but they killed it...last I heard it still didn't work, but I havent tried lately....maybe Carla can elaborate...

The latest Google Talk now supports video chat, though I havent used it yet.

I thought the Android has a built in video program and it can talk to any Sprint customer that has a camera and iphone too. I saw a demo at the T-mobile store.

Re: video conferencing Skype
 

I only call other people using Fring so I am not sure about the Skype thing. I only use it on the PC. Also haven't tried the GV thing yet simply because I don't use it on my phone.

You saw a demo of a Sprint phone in a T-Mobile store? I would help if I could but I use an AOSP Rom with nothing but the basics installed out of the box. I haven't used anything Sense/Sprint related in a very long time so I can't remember what is included/not included. OMJ would know though.

Tango works well for cross-platform mobile video calls. I've used it with a few iphoners I know.

Are there any Android to PC video chat programs? Does Skype work for that?

Edit: Yahoo Messenger works for Android to PC video chat, just tried it,but image is sideways.

Oovoo works better, and image is proper! http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/android-ap...t-epic-pc.html

Re: video conferencing Skype
 

No, I was saying I was at the T-mobile store and the rep do a video demo for me. She turn this android phone on, then she went to the other phone and we can do video conference. I think one of the phone was MyTouch. She said it will work on any Android phone and any iphone.

1. I dont know what this app is. She said its standard built in?
2. I dont have an Android yet so I know nothing.

Re: video conferencing Skype
 

With Yahoo and Skype, who do you think will do better and more full feature app for the Android or WP7? I think the Android.

I am suprised that Google has not come with a video app yet for the Android.

Re: video conferencing Skype
 

As it stands, I believe only Verizon Android phones can do video chat. I tried the skype app a few month ago and uninstalled it. If you are looking for video chat, skype isnt the way to go right now on the Evo.

Sprints epic works great for video chat. Tango, yahoo messenger, and oovoo work.

Re: video conferencing Skype
 

Qik is the app that came w/ the EVO

Have u tried Google Talk?



it had to have been an app they added, like Qik, Fring, etc...

as I stated earlier, Google talk now supports video chat

Re: video conferencing Skype
 

If the Skype APP works on Verizon Phone/network…. Would it be possible to “extract” that app and get it to work with other Phones/Cell providers on the same platform?

Nope, it somehow checks which carrier you're on.... Will only work on VZW

Re: video conferencing Skype
 

Hmm now that Microsoft purchased Skype, it probably will go down hill…..

Re: video conferencing Skype
 

I think it'll work out fine... They may enhance some features considered they have the money to do it and you know what they want is to make it cross platform so they can extend their reach.

GoMeetNow is a great alternative to Skype Web Conferencing - GoMeetNow

Wow! this is an ooooold thread :)
@op, hopefully you know this by now, but skype now (since August 2011 I think) supports video calling on "most" Android devices regardless of carrier)
