Video chat between Ubuntu and Android

[johnmollaghan]

At the moment the Android version of Skype doesn't support video chat at the moment, just audio.

There are lots of apps in Android for video chat (Oovoo, Tango), but I can't find one that will allow me to video chat from the phone to an Ubuntu laptop.

Any ideas?

Maybe you should look into google talk, I think you can make video calls from the gtalk app in Gingerbread (2.3.4), not sure about google talk on linux though. But maybe you could google it.

My phone (Samsung Galaxy) is due an update, hopefully they will roll out 2.3.4 for it.

Any other ideas for video chat between Ubuntu and Android?

Hopefully Skype will update their app soon to support video.
