How can I get Skype video???

[DroidStang]

The other little quirk I found with it was, although you can do through the Ford Sync in the car while driving...they can watch you drive while you keep eyes on road and talk LOL, when you end a skype call and make a cell call, it tries to use Skype to call, now not sure i might have been driving and hit the wrong options on the phone screen when asked what do you want to use as a default call out, maybe I hit Skype and now can't figure out how to change that options.

Anyone tried this over WiFi vs. 3G? I was on WiFI the other night and tried to video Skype but it wasn't working. Would act like it was bring up the video, but then just go back to the regular "in call" screen. Didn't try it over 3G, but is that the only way to get it to work?

I have wifi in my company apartment, when I video chat with my wife, I leave the apartment, get into elevator, drop 4 floors, and the call might get choppy or even freeze, but I always get the call back when I am out of the elevator and on 3G. I can still hear the audio the whole time, but the videos will freeze.

I downloaded it and installed perfectly. So far, seems to work just fine. But I can't find a way to get it to close after starting, other than force closing it in the applications settings. This kind of design is annoying. It's similar to the PC version, just doesn't want to shut down, but at least there's a way to do it finally on a PC. Why would the developers not put a "quit" feature in this app?

I hear ya, I goto my status and then simply signout. I have not seen a "quit" button.

I also have been using skype video without issues on wifi and 3G. Some 3G gives a crummy picture but it works.

Using the .apk that is talked about in here I have been able to get it running, however I don't have any audio on my end when talking with my wife. She's on a desktop and its fine for all her other calls. My voice comes through just fine for her but I don't get any audio on my end. This has happened with my Bluetooth (Motorola S90) connected and with just the haeadset. Not sure what the issue is.

Skype has its own volume too, plus there is a option for Bluetooth too, if you do the Skype test call thing turn volume up while calling it

Are you getting this to work with Bluetooth? I could never get a reliable Bluetooth connection. I exchanged it for the Casio commado. No video but at least the Bluetooth is stable and loud.

I use mine standalone and in car with Ford sync which uses Bluetooth
