Hopefully this will help some that are lost on how to properly setup Fring and Skype to Video Chat.
** Mods Please Sticky**
1. Go to the Android Market and Download " Fring " Its free.
2. Go to Make the most of Skype - free internet calls and great value calls and in the upper right hand corner click " Join "
sign up for a free account, to video chat it does not require any special phone number or settings or minutes that you would have to pay for. Do this from a regular computer as this crashed on my EVO.
3. Setup Fring.
Make a User ID and Password and click "next"
Enter your profile information
Add a pic of yourself if you want, here I am with captain morgan
And when that uploads, click "next"
then it will register you and log you in, this will take a moment.
After registration is successful you will be brought to this screen.
(add friends screen)
Select "SKP" Skype, you will be brought to this screen :
SKYPE SCREEN
From here enter your Skype Screen name and password.
Select "Login" It should import any Skype contacts you have. From what I seen you HAVE to add your Skype contacts from a Skype program on a computer or maybe their mobile app ? (havent tried it but let me know if it works for you) to work properly. Fring contacts can be added easily as seen below.
If you did it right, it will show a check mark next to "SKP" For Skype. Like in the picture :
You are now brought to your contact list, it does show your phone book contacts, but you can choose not to show these if you wish in the phone book settings in fring.
Go ahead and do a "Fring test call"
Once you click on your "Fring test call" contact, you will be brought to this screen. Lets go ahead and test it out, click on the blue videocamera button.
This is the screen you should see next, here i am recording a few seconds of video it will play back to me to test Fring.
