In the past year or so that Qik has been out in the market, we found that one of the biggest challenge when you are sharing live is to make sure that your friends and family are able to catch it live and interact with you. The Qik-in-Touch desktop application enables you to do just that. This application sits in the background and whenever you go live – your friends see it instantly and are able to interact with you through live chat right from the app.
Qik-in-touch is available starting today in private beta. To request an invite, please visit http://qik.com/qntbeta

App looks great. Can't wait to test it out. Nice work guys.
Thanks Don and look forward to your feedback
Been tooling around with it from the end side and it looks great. Very smooth navigation, videos load promptly, etc. All in all, great work. Now, I just need someone to really test this thing out. Probably will mess with it when I get home and test it on the kids. lol.

Every time I install the Beta version of Qik-In-Touch on my computer… it stalls and doesn't let me log in… doesn't let me do anything. The program freezes. My computer continues to work… everything still works, but the qik program remains frozen.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled a few times.
Any other suggestions?
I use windows xp pro.
FROZEN – Qik-In-Touch – FROZEN
I can't get the beta version of Qik-In-Touch to work on my computer.
I've tried to uninstall and reinstall 3 or 4 times and it always does the same thing.
I can open the program… but it freezes. My computer continues to work, but my Qik program freezes and doesn't let me do anything. It wont let me sign in or anything.
The only way I can close the program is with windows task manager.
Any suggestions?
I am using Windows xp professional.
The program looks very cool and I am excited to use it.
It can be broken AIR file. Try to download it again. If that doesn't help, write on http://getsatisfaction.com/qik and provide screenshot of freezed app, please.
