i messed with it yesterday after my partner picked up her droid and just 
did a quik video call do the daughter.. fiddled around going in privacy and 
changing settings and getting nowhere and trying google hangouts and it all 
just being wrong so gave up 
be nice just to click on a app and know i can tell friends and family / 
clients  to put on the app on to there droid or iphone and i can video call 
them, i can use skype on the laptop in the UK but when i take the tablet on 
business in spain im pretty cut of at the moment!  The general purchase 
reason was remote support on desktop PC's which it wont connect to any 
services IE log me or teamviewer so ive set a guacamole up as a temporary 
work around and to make contact with new business / clients and family but 
cant do that either - everything else seems to work in a fashion, hopefully 
OTA 12 may bring us some more functions and fixes ............
