I just read about this app. I can't find it in the market though the article said it should be available. I thought I'd share.

I couldn't find it in the market on my GTab, but found it on my phone. I'll try side loading it tomorrow. Good find. Thanks for sharing.

tried it on the Tab (VegaN ROM) and wouldn't open. Doesn't mean that there's another way to load it. I'll keep trying as i'd love a good vid chat app.
Wouldn't open on my Hero either.
Bump...
I've tried ooVoo as well but it closes as fast as it opens. I find it hard to believe that there is no real, workable video chat option. I've unsuccessfully tried:
ooVoo
Yahoo Messenger w/ Video add on
Qik
Fring
I'm in the middle of talking my in-laws in PA in to getting a gTab but it's less justified w/o the video chat option. Has anyone tried other solutions?
I agree... I haven't found anything that works like Skype does on the computer. We used to use Skype on the Laptops a lot for video chats with family and when I am away from home on work. I was really hoping I could find a decent solution for the tablets, but nothing really works well. I thought Qik might have been the answer, but that doesn't work well either.

Qik works.. I have qik working on mine right now.. used it to chat between my cell and my tablet.
So does Yahoo Messenger w/ Video. I have it running on the TnT Lite 3.0.0 build right now.

Have you tried Tango?
Tango won't install for me on TnT Lite 3.0 or the previous version.
Yahoo Messenger w/ video chat works on mine running Vegan beta 3, but the webcam is sideways.
Ditto, and bump.
Running Vegan Beta 4. I can get Yahoo to work, but my video is sideways. Anyone know of a fix?
AFAIK, there is no fix for the sideways video. Qik and Yahoo runs on my tablet, but the video does not consistently run and connect. I need something that works like skype does on a laptop. Good audio, high quality video and works everytime. I travel for work weekly and spend nights out of the house. When we had the laptop we would use skype every night. Now with the tablets, there is no solution. Kinda sucks to keep a laptop around just for skype use. Oh well... bleeding edge.
Anyone tried Yahoo messenger, android-to-android? Does that have the sideways problem?
Jim
P.S. Installed on stock 3053.
Yes, Yahoo Messenger from G-Tab to G-Tab has the sideways video issue... when it works.
oovoo video chat software
I was able to get this program on vegan 7. Currently doing IMs and VOIP.the video chat is blocked out on the program and in the programs settings. I think with the growing number of gtab users we can figure this out. I am using this right now talking to wife on her PC.I will continue on solution but I'm just a rookie compared to some
Have you tried my ReelPortal software? It's proven to work on the G Tablet:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908613
It works with Android/PC/Linux/Mac, etc. The interface is a bit clunky. So I'm working on changing that at the moment.

Here is a copy of QIK that works with video chat for the Viewsonic G Tablet
This apk was taken from from Samsung Galaxy Tab by Rothnic -- it is version 0.4.04.
I have tested this on the G Tablet use CM6.1 beta 4
I tested it with the qik that is on my evo.. the video quality had a lot to be desired.. the video quality that is broadcast over the net onto the phone looked good.. the video from the phone to the tablet looked way too zoomed.. it had a lot of artifacts.. looked like a really bad bootleg cam release
Anyhow.. thanks rothnic for the rip.. happy to have something to play with / add to my collection of working apps.

It saves as a .zip file for me. Do I just rename it .apk??

Saved as Qik-gtab-videochat.apk for me so maybe try to download it again..
Link dead.
Does this work with the new tegra driver update? The built-in cam app no longer works so I'm guessing Qik won't get camera to work either.
I was able to get Yahoo Messenger Video Calling to work, but it's not consistent at all.
Using CM6.1B4, and restored the Yahoo app and Video add on from a Titanium Backup from my Evo.
If anybody gets this working, please let me know what tweaks you used to do it.
THANKS!

I want to download this but the link is STILL dead.
Link works fine.. its sitting on my personal web server.. so I know for a fact that it is up.
Link works, but .zip and not .apk. No .apk inside either...
Downloaded and installed direct from my gtab (TnT Lite). Zero issue. Thanks for the upload!
Worked first try for me. Thanks
I played around with this a few weeks ago. How are you "video" chatting? I only saw the ability to send a video to your "qik" web page for others to watch and at that it had a 10-20 second delay.

I think you are using a different version of Qik. There are several versions out and you need to have the one from the Galaxy tab to have the video chat working.
What is the version #? I have 1.6. 1.89, and 2.60
downlowded from your link. Thanks.. working now
But, you can only video chat with someone who has qik on their "front facing camera" phone? You can not chat with another gtablet user on wifi correct?

You can video chat with anyone with Qik installed and a front facing camera. Doesn't matter if it is on wifi or not. I used Qik to chat with my wife from my gtab to her gtab. It sucked. Very unstable. Nothing like Skype from laptop to laptop.

The link isn't dead... scroll to the top and click the link to the right of "View Full version"...
Stupid work thinks the link points to a *games* site and won't let me download. Probably because the URL has toy in it.

That happens sometimes, just rename to apk.
Has anyone been able to use any type of video chat with the GTab yet? I havent seen any posts for it........
You haven't? There's probably four topics about it. As of right now, the only one I've found to work is Yahoo Messenger with the video add on.
fring is another that works but the audio for me is really bad, also it only seems to work when you chat with another fring account... video does not seem to work with any of the federated clients(msn, gtalk).
Hi, I'm a gtab-newbie here and was wondering if anyone had any luck using either yahoo messenger or oovoo with Vegan-tab 5.1.1. I did spend some time going through the threads and saw some posts about people using Yahoo messenger with video successfully on the forums but was not able to gather if that was on Vegan-tab 5.1.1/Froyo.
For me, voice calls work with Skype etc. But when I try to make a video call with either Yahoo or Oovoo, the video quality is so-so and the audio just makes a loud clicking noise. I also tried Reelportal between a laptop and the gtab and the video and sound both work (although the audio suffered from a lot of echos).
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I went from 3389 stock to Vegan-tab with no modifications since.
Echo will be fixed when Adobe release a new version of AIR that supports echo cancellation. They currently have beta version for the desktop.
What you can do is use Skype for audio, while simultaneously use ReelPortal for video only. The audio and video streams are independent from each other.
I use yahoo for video chat on 5.1.1 with no issues at all

Google has released an update for the Google+ app so that you can now join (but not create) hangouts.
The cool part? This means that there is a fairly good video chat option for gTablet owners! I tried it with myself and it seemed to work ok... my connection can't handle streaming both video streams, so the quality had issues, but I'm pretty sure it was just my connection and not the gtablet.
The only downside is that you can't start a hangout... which means that someone would still have to be using a computer.
But the camera and mic all worked.
I'm using VeganTab Ginger edition (based on 2.3.5). I think the new Hangouts app feature will only work on 2.3+.
Sideways Video
I tried it just now, and my video appears on its side the other computer. This is exactly what happened a couple months ago when I was hopeful about Google Talk with video...or was it Yahoo! Messenger. Actually, I think both sent sideways video. Oh well. I used G-Harmony Gingerbread 2.3.5 to test this.
Interesting. Mine doesn't seem to have a problem with that. Orientation changes also work.

Are you sure that the orientation is correct on the other computer? The preview of my video looks fine on my screen, but is sideways on the laptop receiving my video.
If it is fine, what ROM are you using? (Oops. Nevermind that question - I just reread your original post)
I tried it with my wife on a laptop running Windows 7. I'm not sure if the orientation changed worked on her end or not, but when I was holding my gtablet horizontally with the hard buttons at the top right, the video on her laptop seemed to be fine/my head was upright. I would have to try it again to be certain...
I've been using Tango but noticed that skype and ooVoo are available in the market now (for our phone). Has anyone tried skype or ooVoo with this phone?
I tired skype if you installed it from market video won't work.
What you have do is using root explore replace a Optmus 3d build prop and restart the phone and then install the skype apk from market then it will work. Next you can replace your original thrill build prop back again.
Could we possibly get someone with an O3D to Upload the Working Skype for us considering we should be able to just DL the one yall have and install it on the phone.
