I assume this is not an issue with Calkaulins rom. I am trying to initiate a gtalk video chat with someone computer or tablet that does not have a video. I want my son to be able to see me while I am overseas. I could not figure out how to initiate the video because it doesn't show and icon. Is this even possible? I know I have had a friend do it with me on my computer coming from their computer, but I am not sure how. Thanks for the help.
he has to install the google video plugin if using the gmail or just install the instant message program in windows.

Does anybody know if there's an app to do this?
I would like to be able to watch what my webcam/ip-cam sees at home, on my sgs.
maybe try this?
fring on SGS + skype in you home pc
i don't know of any other app that can do that at the moment.
but skype can talk to fring (voice over ip video conferencing app)
so if you hook up both of them, then you can do that
create a script to run every 15min at home pc, to connect to dial yourself and enable the video feed
I just bought and S II T989. I installed Skype from Google play. So I tried to take a video call from my laptop to the phone but the video call doesn't work for me. The video option shows up in the phone but when i select it, it doesn't load the video. I went to setting in Skype and enable video calling too. but nothing happened I don't know much about these, So please help me fix this issue.
it sometimes glitches and takes a few tries to get it working. happened to me. have you tweaked the settings?

Just get all your friends to use google talk with video or Tango. They are both way better than skype garbage.
Anybody have this problem and a solution? I uploaded a 1920x1080 video to Facebook and can view it fine on the PC and my wife's Epic 4G. On my SG3 it loads a blank black screen in Facebook and a message pops up that says "play audio data only". Only the audio plays of course, but no video. I've tried logging out and back in, clearing cache and data of Facebook, restart phone, installed Adobe Air, but so far I'm stumped?
I'll add that I can view older non HD videos I've previously uploaded. Oh, and it is also blank if I load Facebook from the browser and don't use the app!

Just found a solution to this...downloaded another player called Vplayer and it works when I select it. Apparently a codec issue.

Hi,
I have a fire phone with Fire OS 4.6.4
I am running play store. Most apps are working. But Google Hangouts is not. Any suggestions?
I can open hangouts. But if I try to send a message it just gives me a mostly white screen with just loading. I cannot send any sms or chats.
Thanks

For people who are not looking to root their phone or install an alternative OS:
Google Hangouts instant messaging runs on XMPP protocol. Armed with this knowledge, I found Conversations, which is available from F-Droid. It handles the simple IM work fairly well. It does not have any support for SMS that I can see.
YMMV

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I thought Google Play services was not working on 4.6.4. You will have to downgrade to 4.6.3. I tried to get Google Inbox working on 4.6.4 and everything installed fine. But when I tried to open Inbox it just hung trying to load (at a white screen IIRC).

Updates form playing some more...
"Conversations" also allows sending pictures and "voice recordings." Video chat is not supported.
Another interesting client is Xabber, but it does not support pictures.
It will be hard to get google hangouts working without root. Basically, what you need to do is lock google play services to 7.0.99.. I wrote up some instructions on how to lock it here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/general/locking-play-services-to-version-t3194159. I forgot where I found my 7.0.99 version, but you can find it in a lot of places. Make sure to get the one with build 036.

I have all the permission I can find toggled to on for anything related to google and still no luck looking for a life line the box is pretty useless with out adding the app's I want. thank you in advance.
I have the same problem.
T95 Android tv box google play issue " Work around"
I had the same problem with this play store on this android box . My work around I found a website that has older apk's like gmail and the other apps i would normally use , I would use my laptop or cell phone to down load the apps I wanted I even was able to install Kodi 18.9 leia The aptoid app store. Also you can find older app versions of most of your Google full playstore apps yes that includes your Gmail app Step 1 to use this work around you will need a usb drive to copy the files from your laptop computer or desk top to then step 2 go to your files folder after you plugin your Usb drive on your T-95 android box and open your Usb drive find your files you copied from your laptop or desktop and install them, This box is great for zoom meetings too after you have Zoom installed on it all you have to do is plugin your web cam with a microphone and it shoulkd work. enjoy hope this was helpful to you
