Now you can video chat with Skype on your Acer a500 with the new Skype update. Head over to the market and check it out.

Thanks for the tip.

I have been waiting for this update.

 

[akadrew]

Just installed the latest version, video still not working. Acer A5 is listed as being supported but not the A500.

 

[2manyPHONES]

I can't even sign in to Skype now...eh

 

[andy d]

So much for that then

 

[iconianoob11]

yeah I was happy the date update was announced but had no luck didn't even see the video settings button

 

[pmandroid69]

Same here, updated Skype and still no video capability. Anyone know what's up?

 

[tedpc01]

During the Skype setup, it says if your device is not listed, you can go into the settings and try enabling it. I tried that, but does anyone know how to get into Skype's settings?
TIA

Was just wondering if anyone had tried using Tango on one of these?

 

[evileyez3]

I have Tango and it works pretty well. Give it a try.

Cool, next time I am over at my friends house I will install the app and try it out.
Maybe he will be able to finally start using the web cam.

Is there a version of Tango for PCs?

I've got the latest version of Skype but still can't make video calls. If I use tango can I
Video chat with friends who do not use it?

I suppose the A5 is NOT a shortcut for Iconia A500, but for this little ripper: Acer Iconia Smart A5 a Huge 4.8-inch Wide-screen Smartphone | Mobilespects.com

Once you sign in tap the grid looking icon in the status bar at the bottom then settings, scroll down look for enable video calling and check that box

Hope that helps

When I go in to my settings, there is no checkbox for enabling video???

 

[MahaloCat]

I can assure you it is there.

Yes I have the most recent version, but for good measure I also tried some older versions just in case, and I can quite assure you that on my tablet, the option is not there.

I would HOPE that being in Canada doesn't make any difference... but more ridiculous things have happened (though it works just fine on my Motorola Milestone, (which is funny in itself being that the milestone doesn't have a front camera!)
