Re: Video Calls with Skype N900
 

Unless the other phone has skype and a 2nd camera it should work i mean its common sense you cant make a video call from an n900 to an iphone it wont give you the option or it might but it still wont work.

Re: Video Calls with Skype N900
 

I tried using skype video-calling here in the UK, tonight via wi-fi, following PR 1.2 update:

front-facing camera now working with skype calling, so I can now see myself talking ... but unfortunately cannot see the other user, nor can the other user see my front-facing camera image.

The other user was on a pc, with web-camera, and it was a tried and tested skype platform, with hitherto no problems.

Any progress on this, Brethren?

Re: Video Calls with Skype N900
 

I too have this problem. When I select video call, I can see myself but the person at the other end cannot see me and I cannot seem them.

This is for a N900 to PC call, with the PC running Ubuntu Lucid 64-bit and having a Logitech webcamera. (It works for PC to PC) PC to N900 video calling displays no remote video either. :(

Any ideas? (I've tried rebooting the N900 - didn't help)

Thanks

Re: Video Calls with Skype N900
 

The skype video call is currently supported between two N900 or between N900 and latest Skype windows client v4.2 onward

Re: Video Calls with Skype N900
 

Is video call only for skype??....any idea Of Video call via 3g!!! is it there on N900 PR1.2!!!

Re: Video Calls with Skype N900
 

True, also from the call menu you will get "Turn Video On" option.

Also one important note, Skype video call works between:

1. Between two N900 devices.
2. Bentween N900 and latest Skype Windows client v4.2 onward.
