I’ve mentioned the OpenTok framework for video chat, and the popular Parse backend service provider.
Here’s a tutorial submitted by Nirav Bhatt demonstrating step-by-step how to create a video chat app. The tutorial uses OpenTok platform for the face-to-face video chat, and Parse for the back-end.
The tutorial is very complete (6000+ words!) and contains features such as a lobby displaying nearby users, and the ability to create and receive (or decline) calls.
This is an image representing the chat app built with the tutorial in action:
