However, since the first murmurs of this type began, Skype has pointed to technical challenges in getting acceptable video quality to work over 3G to its millions of global users (124 million per month, according to the company). One of the founding members of VoIP video calls should have also been the leader in bringing the technology to mobile phones. We've been waiting for Skype to release mobile video chat for a long time. As an extra bonus, desktop Skype users ( Windows| Mac) can share a view of their computer screen with Skype users on iPhone.
While you can only broadcast video on on Apple devices with rear-facing or front-facing cameras-namely the iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4, and iPhone 3GS, you can also receive incoming video broadcasts on the iPad and third-generation iPod Touch. There's also a history tab for reviewing recent communications with members of your buddy list.Īs with the recently-released ooVoo Mobile (for Android,) Skype for iPhone will work for anyone on Skype's network, be they desktop or mobile users. The Skype for iPhone app retains its auxiliary features as well, like instant messenger and SMS to chat with friends before, after, or during a call and status message updates. You can mute a call, place or answer a call with just audio or with audio and video, and swap between the front-facing or rear-facing cameras.
You can use either 3G or Wi-Fi to place two-way video calls, and the technology works in both portrait and landscape modes. The app contains many of the features you'd expect.
