<a href="http://galaxyyarchive.info/" target="_blank">I constantly keep getting questions by comments and private messages on an old Skype video that I have made on the Galaxy Young by people asking me if video calls are possible with it. Well, unfortunately they aren't. In the past I've even tried downloading a modded version of Skype from xda-developers and the app again would just force close whenever I try to enable the camera.</a> 
 
Yesterday we got a post made on our Facebook fanpage by Ameya Gokhale taking us to a post on his blog (<a href="http://www.ameyagokhale.com/2012/12/video-chat-on-samsung-galaxy-y-s5630.html" target="_blank">Click here)</a> explaining how he tried out the app. The app we are talking about is called Vtok, which can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store. It only support Gtalk. So you need to sign in with your Gmail account in order to use it. If you are afraid it might be a phisher app then don't worry, take a look at it's installation counter- 1,000,000 - 5,000,000 
It has been installed from 1 million to 5 million people. 
 
<a href="http://galaxyyarchive.info/" target="_blank">I've also taken the time to test it on the Galaxy Young aswell and as usual we have problems. Don't know if it is just me and my crappy 3G low-speed internet connection, but I constantly get errors such as me being busy and cannot answer or I answer but sound comes with a delay and other problems such as that. But one time I managed to get my camera to show in the conversation, that gives us hope that this does infact work.</a> 
 
<a href="http://galaxyyarchive.info/" target="_blank">You can try it out for yourself:</a> 
Play Store - <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skymobius.vtok" target="_blank">Click here to download</a>. 
 
I would recommend trying it out on a highspeed Wi-Fi connection.
