can you use for video calls?

We have never done video calls and currently do not see any function on the LPU to do so.

Not that I'm aware of. There are really only 2 uses for the Wifi on the ultra. 1. To download rewards or purchased apps or 2. To view videos on utube (only the ones that leapfrog has approved... many of them involve animals; basically G rated stuff). The ultra is a Christmas present for my daughter so I haven't investigated all of the features, but I like that my 7 yr old won't have access to most of the utube content. They also cannot get on the internet outside of those 2 features. There is a built in app called pet chat. If another kid has an ultra, they can text each other. Their names aren't shared though (image of a pet comes up) and it is only possible to text from leapfrog devices that have the pet chat app. This means that adults and others can't text the kid unless they have that app. To me that means my child won't be texting strangers.

Yes via the built-in browser. You can also play embedded videos in the browser.

sorry it took me so long to get back to you...I think it has video/camera, so I dont see why not. you'd have to download the "Skype" app. but you should be able to use it..

Video but you can take snap shots out of the video. What are you trying to use it for?

Yes, you can use Skype as well as Google Hangouts and Google Voice to make video calls and phone calls.

Yes. There are some free apps for phone and tablet. Or you will have to purchase a video editing program. There is a program called vMix that is more for live video switching, but they do have a free version you can experiment with.

Sure. I use them for corporate videos and director/actor interviews for film releases.

Actually, you can.You just need to convert the video using Creative's Video Converter.

I have this phone and I have used the free app called "Mango" which can convert a regular phone call to video chatting- the other person had a Samsung galaxy also. It was very simple. I wasn't nuts about that particular ap and eventually uninstalled it, but it did work. I havn't had time to look into another video chatting ap, but I'm sure there are other options.

I wouldn't recommend it for video. It doesn't have enough power to watch videos especially 1080p and sometimes 720p will not run smooth.

I do not use it for video. Only audio. Even If it played video without a hitch, the quality would not be that great. Stick to audio only. Get something else for video.

No, you can, however record sound from a distance & lay it over the video in editing

You could use it to make calls to any phone using third party apps like Skype or Vonage. Thanks

Yes. I use it because my video out gave up the ghost.it could act like an IPOD, and enable you to listen to everything on, or coming into your computer.

I just returned them because I was having a lot of issues. I believe you can receive video on your phone but it was just too difficult for me. Sorry not much help.

No, you cannot use it as a microphone for phone calls. It will ring through the speaker, but once you answer the call, you will have to speak through your phone. Whatever program you are using will resume once you finish the call.

Yes. You can do that. It has RCA jacks on each device. There is a simple switch to send or receive video and it can take sound as well.
