Front face camera to video chat using WiFi with people on AIM, iChat, etc

[Malik05]

So i have the euro Diamond with the front face cam and im in the US...since we cant really use the front face cam for video calls...i wanted to know if there is a app out there (or in dev) that would allow me to use the cam for video calls over WiFi with people who are on AIM, MSN, or iChat, or any other chat service/app...

Yeah if the Skype client would do this then it'd be fab.

Seems unlikely though. Too much bandwidth.

umm no not that...basically, i was thinking of an app which will let me video chat with other people on their computers (they will be using their webcam) while ill be on my diamond using the front faced camera...so video calls on WiFi...but using an app to communicate with other people on AIM, or iChat, or MSN, etc.

Yes I had the same problem, I deinstalled it already.
It is also not possible to choose cam2: (front cam) :(

this is a really really old non-finished project...Passport does not even exist anymore...

The front cam is not supporting it seems so i too uninstalled and i have to look for some other alternative.

I agree 100% using the front camera on skype or msn would be really cool.

Here i quote from Barablu website

Not just a pretty face!
Still dreaming about the day you can see who you are talking to on your mobile – sci-fi style?
With the latest version of barablu you can do exactly that! FREE.

Video calls are now MOBILE!
barablu enables you to receive free video calls on your mobile*. See who you are talking to, no matter where you are in the world!

Mobile video calls are possible between PC and mobile users where both devices have the latest version of barablu installed. Although the mobile user will see the PC users, the PC user won’t be able to see the mobile user (yet).

How do I make a mobile video call?
Easy. Download the latest version of barablu, get a webcam and start making free video calls.

If your friend does not have a webcam, he will still see you, but you won’t see him. This principle is the same for mobile video calls. The person on the mobile will see you, but you won’t see him.

How much does it cost?
Nothing…absolutely zero*.
