Using the Phone App (Android to Android):

5. On the contact’s page, tap the “Video call” button (represented by a video camera icon).
6. The call will be initiated as a video call, and your contact will receive a notification to join the call.

Using Other Messaging and Social Media Apps:

Many messaging and social media apps, such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Skype, also support video calling on Android. Here’s a general outline:

1. Open the messaging or social media app of your choice.
2. Find and select the contact or friend you want to call.
3. Look for the video call icon or button within the chat or contact’s profile.
4. Tap the video call icon to initiate the call. Your contact will receive a video call invitation.
5. Once your contact answers, you can start a video call.

The specific steps and the availability of video calling features may vary depending on the app you’re using. Make sure both you and your contact have the same app installed and updated for a smooth video calling experience.

Also, ensure that your Android device has a front-facing camera and a stable internet connection for video calls. Video calls typically use data or Wi-Fi, so be mindful of your data usage if you’re not connected to Wi-Fi.
