Video call with Android.
 

I have a friend who recently acquired a mytouch 4g. Now, I know that the mytouch uses the built-in Qik integration to place video calls to other Android devices. This leaves me with 2 questions.

1. Does Qik support video calls on the N900 (AFAIK it doesn't)?

2. If Qik doesn't, what is a platform available on Maemo and Android that supports video calling?

Thank you in advance for the responses.

I'm interested too. So far, I've never been able to place a video call between my n900 and wife's Galaxy Tab.

I am using skype for video call , works like a charm on N900, but both must be having frontcam offcourse, also aMSN is working with it, but not so clear as skype, check out both i would suggest :)

Unfortunately, the current Skype app for Android does not allow for video calling :(

There is/was a Qik app for the N900 is it not compatible with the MYTOUCH?

Re: Video call with Android.
 

If you're talking about NITDroid ( The Android port to N900 ) it dosen't yet support even voice calls fully , the camera dosen't work with NITDroid so that's a sure no . But i've not tried VOIP apps like Skype or any other.

If you're talking about Maemo , we have Skype which works like a charm , There's Qik which works to broadcast live videos , and share on Youtube .

if we ever get yahoo msngr support as google talk then we can, yahoo recently announced video call feature for android

I am very curious about this myself. Qik has always been cooperative with nokia, I wonder when we are gonna get this integrated with our nokias.

Maybe they will release the source codes and any interested developers can integrate it for us.

I have this one, it doesn't have any calling features..just record and stream over internet.

Re: Video call with Android.
 

Exactly, the mytouch actually has 2 options built in for video calling yahoo messenger and qik.

Sadly, neither of these have video calling functionality in Maemo.

So, does anyone know of a platform that allows for video calling on BOTH Android and Maemo?

Re: Video call with Android.
 

I've tried sipdroid and imsdroid (video voip clients) on the Tab, and the sip plugin on my n900. Codecs were reported as not matching, but you could try and report if something has changed or a config tweak makes it work.

Re: Video call with Android.
 

I have successfully installed NitDroit but when someone calls me (not with voip) I am not able to hear anything.
I did little research but I couldn't find - is it fixed this bug or not ?

You could read a little in the first post in the nitdroid thread:

Short answer, NO, no calling i nitdroid yet.
