Video conferencing makes our lives easier. Connecting with people from school and business has also been possible thanks to video conferencing. In line with this, Android also allows its devices to do just that. In no particular order, here are 5 great Android apps for awesome video conferencing:

1. Qik video connection

Android Qik’s interface is different from its iOs counterpart. The Android version has four blocks on its screen, each of which represents a certain function with its description. Its features include Video Chat, Record and Share, Video Mail and Video Gallery. Although the Android version differs from the iOS version in appearance, both have the same functionality.

Aside from its video chat feature, another thing that you might find interesting is video mail. It’s like voicemail, but this time it uses video. One advantage of Video Mail is that the video quality is better than live video chat since it is pre-recorded. The bad news is that you may not be able to use this service for free after June 1, as they will charge an annual fee for this service.

With Qik, you can also upload your videos to the web and share them via email and SMS. Although Qik has good features, you may not have the best video chat experience. Right now, however, Qik is one of the best options among Android video conferencing apps.

2. Tango

The good thing about Tango is that it allows users to have a cross-platform video chat. That means you can have a video chat with a friend using an iOs even if you are on Android, very cool! Although Fring has this capability, Tango scores higher when it comes to video quality and ease of use. With Tango, calls can also be made through 3G and 4G networks.

Finding your friends using Tango is also convenient thanks to this app. Tango can search for friends who are on Tango through your Android or iPhone address book and add them to the app’s contact list. Also, the setup of this app is quite easy.

3.fring

Fring is easy to use. Its interface is neat and not messy. Even a new user would have no problem getting to know the app. Video quality is good, though not as good as FaceTime (iPhone). Its audio still has more room for improvement. However, the good thing is that it can be downloaded from the Android website for free.

4. Hitting live video

Knocking Live Video allows its user to share live video from their phone to another. This video sharing app used to be only available on the iPhone. Now, it’s on Android – good news for Android fans! This is a cross-platform application, which means that an Android user can share live videos with a family member or friend who is using the iPhone. It is one of the most popular social media apps today and you can download this app for free.

5.Skype

Skype is without a doubt one of the best VoIP applications out there. Unfortunately, Skype Android does not support video conferencing with the exception of 4G phones. However, many are hopeful that this service will be extended to non-4G phones in the near future.
