Video Chat on Playbook has dropped one side video

When I try to Video Chat with a person who also has the same model of Playbook, he does not see me but hears me. I can both see him and hear him. Video Chat was working but recently one side of the video has gone down. I find the identical question on a number of sites on the web but don't see any answers.
Does anyone know what the fix is? Thanks, Trigger 1940.

Can you video chat with playbook

How would you set up iPad Air to video chat with BB Playbook?

I think when you change the BB ID, it will also wipe the data, because it is designed to work with 1 ID, but give it a try.

Why are we unable to video chat between playbook and Phones? ..

Is this feature going to be incorporated? You can do it with facetime.....
Any thoughts surrounding this idea?

Video chat: no sound when I initiate the session

iMac G5, 10.4.9.
strangest thing: when I initiate an iChat video session, I can see the other person, they can see me, but no sound from either party.
when that same person initiates the session, we can see AND hear each other fine.
thoughts?

hi Lance,
When iChat is Open go to the Video menu.
Is Microphone Enabled Selected ?
In System Preferences > Sound > Input tab is the Correct input device selected ?
When you talk does the blue response bar move to at least 1/2 way (3/4 is better) Slide the volume control to the right.
Along with that in iChat > Preferences > Video Section in the Microphone drop down is the same device selected ?

Any way to video chat between Messages and older Mac via iChat?

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday and am beginning to regret it - I discovered that I will no longer be able to help my parents troubleshoot their MacBook as they have an older MacBook with Leopard 10.5.8, and their MacBook is not upgradeable to Mountain Lion given its heritage (too old). Prior to my upgrade to Mountain Lion, when they needed help we would both launch iChat and I would ask to take control of their screen. Their account setup on iChat was through an AOL AIM username.
I looked into whether I could still launch a video sharing session with them using Messages from my end and they using iChat from their end (still with their AOL AIM username) but can find no evidence that that will work.
I am hoping that someone has figured out how to make all this work. I researched FaceTime and it doesn't appear that it supports video chatting/screen sharing.
My last ditch option will be to see if I can gain access to their machine via internet remote access - but I'd rather steer clear of that.
Anybody know how to make this work - video chat and remote screen control between my Mac running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and remote Mac running Leopard 10.5.8?

Apologies if this is what you linked to... I cannot open the link on my office PC.
Have you tried the ReelPortal app? This should be able to cover both of your needs: it allows video chat between Playbook and PC, and essentially broadcasts the video chat to a site. (I have not attempted to capture the broadcast). It's not the prettiest app out there, but does what you're looking for.

PlayBook Contact & Calendar Sync/Video Chat - can't get them to work

I love my PlayBook ((OS 2.1.0.1088) and as a BB9790 user had never bothered to try to use native contacts/calendar applications until recently when a couple of relatives bought PBs and asked me questions. I have a number of GMail accounts which work brilliantly for mail receiving and sending on the PB, but have failed totally to get contacts and calendar to sync despite selecting that option for one of these. In desparation created a new Hotmail account, imported some key Outlook contacts and tried to sync them with my PB. Nothing. If I try to create a new contact I always get the message after tapping to enter the contact information: "Application was interrupted. Please close and open it again to continue." If I do that and restart contacts, nothing changes. I tried deleting all my email accounts and starting again with a GMail as the primary email with sync for contacts and calendar, but the problem persists. This also impacts Video Chat as it uses the same contact application so is unusable. If I search Contacts it appears to do a remote lookup but never finds any contacts.
The Calendar application when opened just shows the Calendar app icon in the top left corner with 31 and no calendar. Swiping down to show the settings, indicates 3 GMail calendars from different accounts are in place and if I press refresh it suggests a sync is taking place but no calendar framework ever appears, let alone entries.
Would appreciate any suggestions as I have read all the related PB contacts' forums which haven't offered a solution to this particular issue. Thanks

Please contact the BlackBerry® PlayBook support team regarding this issue for further investigation, contact information can be found here:

Can't find the Video Chat application on my PlayBook

Hey all,
I live in Saudi Arabia, I'm only stating where I live cause I have a feeling that this might be the reason of my problem. Anyway I can't find the video chat application icon on my playbook although I've updated its software to the latest OS 1.0.7 ---- I hope some1 help me with that cause I need this application desperately.
Thanks

it may not be available to customers in saudi Arabia, if so do security wipe setting up with a proxy server in the US or Canada. This way you will have the video chat software.

New OS2 Playbook Video Chat

Hi,
After uploading all my contacts in new os2 playbook ,
I surprisingly got all - who have playbook - in my videochat without any confirmation?
Thats not only friends I have in my contacts, its some business contacts and so on,
and I dont want those people in my videochat at all.
Now - if you try to delete a contact from videochat - it deleted automatically from contact list as well
????? Very frustrated.
I need contact in my contact list, but dont want this person to be connected to my videochat .
Looks like some logic is missing here.

Same BBID will not work for video chat.
you will need to wipe and have a new BBID to vid chat

Video Chat plus other apps not on new Playbook - IN CANADA

I am trying to do some research on this one. I bought a new 16GB PB from Best Buy a couple days ago. I signed up for a BB ID, and then setup the PB with that ID. Everything's working, but I am missing Video Chat, Twitter, Youtube, Facebook among other things. I have tried security wipes.....a full OS recovery from the DM software......tried creating a second BB ID# with all the same results.
I know that some countries can't have those apps.....but why is my PB thinks I am not in Canada. I run no proxies or anything on my home network. I just want to know if anyone has ideas. If I call into support, will it be something that can be fixed. Maybe the PIN on the device is showing the wrong country or something like that. I dunno.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had the same problem. Called tech support and was on the phone for an hour and a half and they still don't know why it is happening. I returned the playbook figuring it was a problem with the device itself. My husband bought me a new one and the same thing happened. He bought one for himself and it has everything on it. I don't understand why mine is screwing up. Good luck and if you find anything out, please post

Video Chat from my PlayBook to Z10

Hi,
I have a Playbook and a Z10, both of which are on separate BBID's. Till about 2-3 months back, I was able to video chat from my Playbook to my Z10. However, I am not able to do that now and I get the message 'COntact's unavailable'. But, I can still do a video chat from my Z10 to the Playbook using the notifications. This is only happening with my Z10. My brother also has a Z10 and I am able to call him from my Playbook.
Can you help resolve this
Thanks

Dear kulpreet
I know that you have been waiting an exceedingly long time for a reply.
Today I made my first attempt to use the video chat application for my BlackBerry PlayBook, only just minutes before this post.
If you are still unable to receive your video chat between you and your loved one, I suggest that you add details to both your phone and PlayBook again.
I have just experimented with my phone and PlayBook, at that using my phone as a hospital for my PlayBook, I was still able to get a connection between the two.
My playbook did complete the connection but when I replied from phone to playbook, playbook did not seem to connect.
Maybe due to having the same connector had to do with it, but it did attempt.
I believe the connection is made through your BB10 via your BBM.
I hope this will help you and others in the near future.
Yours sincerely

Video Chat via Playbook PIN's, having problems...

I have two Playbooks on OS2.0 sharing the same Blackberry ID. I'm trying to use Video Chat via Playbook PIN's and I'm not having any luck. Call attempts fail with "The person you called is not currently available".
- both Playbooks have Accept Calls On
- both Playbooks are on the same home wi-fi network, i.e. same router
- the router has firewall enabled (Toggling off the firewall doesn't seem to help and I'd rather have it on. Skype works from the desktop computer with firewall on.)
- in Contacts, both Playbooks show each other with green video chat icons. Turning off Accept Calls will actually change the state of the video chat icon to gray, as expected. (The state change doesn't update immediately, but after a failed call.) This tells me that the Playbooks are talking to RIM's servers?
- I'm not getting the "A Firewall is preventing Video Chat from connecting" or "Unable to Connect to Server" error messages. http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB26845 This leads me to believe that the Playbooks are able to see RIM's servers?
- Some people have reported that putting the Playbook in the DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) of the router works, but it's risky security-wise (The Playbook is open to the general internet.). My router only allows for one IP address in the DMZ, which isn't useful with my two Playbooks.
- The alternative to DMZ is port forwarding, which is more secure. My router only allows specific IP's to be used and since the Playbook IP's are dynamically allocated, setting this isn't helpful. http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB26816
Could someone with two Playbooks sharing the same Blackberry ID's please try to use Video Chat via Playbook PIN's and report whether it works or not? I'd like to isolate out whether it's a problem with Video Chat or my router/home wi-fi.
Thank you!

It won't work since they have the same blackberry ID.
I have tried many time and it won't work. Only the playbook that last connected to app world can use video chat.

Playbook video chat service error

Had no problems up until yesterday and now can't connect. have tried powering down and restarting but to no avail, any ideas?

Hey AuntieKaret,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Are you currently connected to a Wi-Fi network? Also are you trying to connect to another BlackBerry PlayBook or a BlackBerry 10 smartphone?
When was the last time you could successfully connect to video chat?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.
