Video chatting on galaxy tab

---

Before I buy galaxy tab, can you use Yahoo messenger or skype to do video chatting?

I am always spending my time talking to my family on weekend talking using video conference using yahoo messenger and skype on my laptop

I normally ignore this but for the sake of this forum, do u know how to search?

If u dunno, u should take at least 5 min to view few paged as this question was repeated few days ago

Here I will answer it. You can video chat w/ yahoo from the tab to any other mobile device and to a windows pc. It will not work w/ a Mac yet.

Thanks for the replied, now I'l buy this tab next weekend. BTW is the cam quality good on video chatting?

I am still looking for an app that will do a video chat between my Tab and a PC.
I've tried Yahoo, Skype, oovoo and 2 others that I can't remember off the top of my head... NONE of them work.

Not for sure why yahoo didn't work cause I used a Mac w/ a windows vm installed and the video chat worked just fine between the tab and the computer. Did you install the video plugin for yahoo.

To legally use skype you have to have verizon network (can someone fact-check that?) or the app won't install.

The front camera of the tab is 1.3 mega pixels. It is adequate for the task. There is some microphone button issue - you use it like a walkie talkie, or art last you have to remember to push it sometimes. Can you please post back here your results?

I wouldn't see why skype would just limit themselves to vzw network. I will try and install skype tomorrow on my sprint tab.

Qik is the video app that came on my Tmobile Galaxy tab.
