Have you installed the chat client to her pc?

If you have, then maybe you have to add a webcam to her computer.

At the link above, they have a note at the top of the page saying that there have been interruptions in the past 2 weeks but all is back to normal now.

Also, for her to see me, does she need a webcam hooked up?

Here's how I did it:
- When you first pop out your N800 cam it'll ask you to set up an ID, this seems to have nothing to do with your gmail ID so I just used my name.
- I have a gmail account
- The other party has a gmail account
- In gmail, I had to go into 'Contacts' and set the 'Show in quick contacts' to 'Always'
- Make sure the other person is logged in to gmail via a browser.
- The above made the gmail contact of the other party visible in the N800 when I went online through wi-fi. NB: Setting the contact to 'Always' seems to be the only way of importing contacts from gmail into the N800.
- In the N800 I could then click the contacts applet (the two persons applet in the left column) and send an invitation (in the menu), and select the above contact.
- The PC person would then receive the invite in a gmail chat window, with a link. Clicking the link downloaded and installed the PC application. Apparently the other party also got to select a user id, because I then got a ring from the person, with a new ID that I recognized as different from the gmail name.
- Video popped up, but black on my side because the PC webcam wouldn't work.
- The other party could see my picture just fine.
- The voice had so much breakups though that it was close to unusable..
- The PC app. apparently used some 98% CPU, which could be the cause of the voice breakup problems.

I'm so frustrated.
I have the "Nokia Internet Call Invitation" on my computer with a "mock" account so I can "try" to link them up.
I can go on my N800, see that the "mock" account is online at the computer, but there is NOWHERE on the program on the computer to add a contact.
I want to use the "webcam" part of this thing. My computer doesn't have a webcam (does it have to for the computer person to simply see the person with the N800?....it shouldnt).
Can someone help me figure this stupid thing out? It's starting to drive me crazy.

I managed to get it work using google talk chat invitation from n800 to pc. Only problem is that CPU load is almost 100 % all the time on PC software, so sound is very choppy and can't make decent calls. I think this invitation system is very bad idea from Nokia. Software is also more pre-alpha than beta. Very complicated procedure.
So biggest question is does anyone have managed to call N800-PC video call with good results and if you have what windows version you have, because I have Vista and I think that might be causing CPU load problem.

I had the same problem under XP. The software really is alpha-quality. It should not be eating CPU when idle. Good thing I have a dual core - only one CPU is capped 
One reason I have this is that I am on the road alot with work and I want a way for my wife to be able to see me when talking to me in the hotel. So I have this to video chat with her.
I have downloaded and built a google talk account on my pc for her to use. I have linked the accounts and can chat with one another online but whenever I try to start a call with her, I can link up but it says "Remote Client unable to support video" on my N800. This keeps her from seeing me on her end. When she accepts the call, we can talk but with no video.
Can anyone help me fix this?
Thanks so much.
