My friend bought his girlfriend a GT today (she's going to be out of the country visiting family). Since I'm such a geek--and have had Android phones since they first came to Verizon--he figured I could help setting it up. I have an iPad as my tablet so I welcomed the opportunity to play with the GT anyway.
So I've been installing various software and going through the setup, etc., and I'm trying to set up video chat for them. It's a major PITA to even figure out how to do it but I can't seem to get it to work.
I'm using Chrome as the browser on my Mac but, when I finally figured out how to invite someone to a video chat from the GT, I go to my Mac and answer the request for video chat and I get no video. Not a black box, not a white box, just nothing above the chat portion of the box which comes up (where you can type messages). Can't figure that out so I figured I'd try and create a hangout from my Mac and invite her account. When I do, she gets the notification I've invited her but, when I go to accept the invitation I keep getting a message telling me I'm already in a hangout (and I'm not).
Ugh! This is frustrating.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks.
