The previously mentioned Ateksoft program is the best implementation I've seen to date. Basically turns your phone into an IP Webcam. Cost is about $20, and in my opinion it's well worth the money if you have need for such a thing.
A couple more you might try (and they're free) are Whoosh Cam and Comvu PocketCaster. The latter isn't quite a realtime webcam, but it does have some other interesting features, such as capturing and storing video to an upload server for later viewing.

These are all nice ... if you want to connect to be "tethered."
However, does anyone know of a "stand-alone" application where I can use my HTC Hermes as a webcam and broadcast to Skype, MSN Messenger, etc. that is running on that same device?
Thanks in advance!

What do you mean by "tethered"? None of these require your Hermes to be attached to a PC via cable (USB connection). They can all work through Wifi or GPRS. And Ateksoft Webcamera Plus DOES work with Skype, MSN Messenger, etc. Did you bother to read the program capabilities linked in my previous post?

As far as I know that is a function of the client and neither Pocket Skype or MSN has that built in. Maybe one day...

Right. I see what he means by "tethered" now. The mobile versions of MSN Messenger, Skype, etc don't have video capability from the device. That's a limitation of those app's, not the webcam software mentioned.
I imagine when that capability comes to the mobile versions, you probably wouldn't need to use a second webcam app for the device to get the video stream.

Skype 2.5 problem - one way audio

I have installed Skype 2.5 for WM on original Artemis O2 XDA.
Skype connects wia wifi, but there is only one way audio. My corespondent can excellent hear me, but I can't hear him, either nothing at all, or only very fragmented audio.
Tested with few different corespondents, and via few wifi hotspots, so problem must be in my Aremis Skype settings.
Fring works ok (audio both ways), so my Artemis hardware seems to be ok.
Anyone having similar problem ? Any hint ? Please help.

Same Problem
I have EXACTLY the same problem as you do. Although i have a different rom version then the original one that comes with O2 xda. I also have skype 2.5, and people can hear me perfectly , but i cant listen to people!
Regards

Not yet. And I don't know if this is a hardware or software problem.
Do you think upgrade to WM 6.1 would help ?

artemis and skype
Has anyone resolved how to make work skype on artemis. I can't even pass a echo test? Help please!

Is anyone using Skype 2.5 for Mobile on Artemis (original or upgraded) ?
If YES, than this is a software problem, and perhaps can be resolved with software upgrade.
If NO, than this is a hardware problem, and cannot be resolved.
ANYONE, please info.

Just upgraded Skype to v3.0.0.256 , and still no receiving audio.
Again, is ANYONE using Skype Mobile on Artemis (original or upgraded) ?
ANYONE, PLEASE ?

Skype issues and other

First ..Yes i hace search all the excalibur and developer forum.
Problem1:I read that for voip(in my case skype)to properly work i have to edit registry so my wifi connect @ g only ,am i correct? can anybody if this is true point me the direction(read all wiki and registry not found)
Problem2:How come nobody has tweaked skype so it uses the internal speaker as somebody quoted before skype couldn't be used in public.
Tried sip config tool and i get a nasty error btw.
Wm6.1

the latest version of Fring supports the headset speaker, and it works wonderfully with Skype. I would suggest using that instead.

first I don't get what your saying ? " wifi connect @ g only
in the settings theres an option to connect to wifi only or use mobile as well either one should do fine (for me it does
second get a Bluetooth headset then go find and download "bluetooth audio router" and just activated wen you need to use skype and use bluetooth or a wired headset no way on using the internal speaker but that should solve your problem with public places....

By means of band g on the router as in band g instead of band B .
Sure the bluetooth was my first option. but i was trying to find out if anybody had figured out with a registry hack.
I like the idea using skype with skype client.
Btw fringe works the way it should.

Video chat app that allows us to use Bluetooth headsets?

Did a quick search and didn't come up with anything but..
Is there a video chat app that allows users to use Bluetooth headsets? Is there one in the works?
I find it very inconvenient that the whole world needs to be involved in my video chat sessions.. Bluetooth would provide the much needed wireless solution to conversation privacy..
I have used plug in (3mm) headsets, but only tango allows the use of one and I find the cord quite annoying..

if your using an Froyo rom then you can use SuperMonoFroyo there is a lite version on the market that will let you test it out. but it routes all audio to a Bluetooth headset i have tested this on tango and it worked good on the stock app but have not got around to testing it on my gingerbread rom yet. Hopefully that will help you out
