Default Video chat on Google talk not working...

Just as the title says. Wife and I try to video chat, can only see our own video showing in the corner. Have tried on 3g 4g and wifi with all the same result. No errors, just can't see the other persons video. Also tried this with multiple phones that support it with the same result. Any ideas?

Hmm, skype video chat does work. Even does pretty good with the iPhone that a buddy has. This is just odd now....

I have tried Skype, Talk, and Google+ Hangout from my Rezound to a Rezound/Bionic/DInc2 and all of them work flawlessly. Not always best video quality, but they all work. Check your settings that you are actually sending video.

So I'm actually having this problem too.

I start google talk on the droid 3, click on the video icon next to somebody's name that supports vid chat. Screen goes black for a split second, then returns to the google talk contacts screen.

Interestingly, google hangout with google+ works great. As do tango and skype.

I'll post logcat output here in a bit.....

Did you happen to try skype video while on an ics rom? Or were you on GB?
