OoVoo- Videoconferencing made Free and Easy
ADVERTISEMENTSOver the years videoconferencing prices have come down and the technology used have become better. OoVoo is one such service offering free video conferencing with lot of features. OoVoo has good video capabilities. Its supports 6 way video conferencing with very good picture quality. It has a desktop client which can be easily installed and set up. Once installed, you can see the contact list window similar to any other IM clients.
The best part of OoVoo is that the video scales down as the number of users increases, so that it does not put additional load on browsing. OoVoo has good audio quality as well.
Users have the options of communicating via;
- Text chat
- Recording one minute video and sending it across
- Sharing files to other users.
- Video Call
There are few drawbacks of OoVoo as well. It does not have any scheduling and desktop sharing facilities. But this free program makes multiuser video conferencing an easy task. OoVoo is a worth trying application for communication.
OoVoo is completely free to use software.
Share & Enjoy

My favorite option with ooVoo is the video messages that you can send through email. All receivers have to do is click on the watch video and it pops up and plays. There is no loading of video or opening a certain media player. Quick and easy.
I work for ooVoo and was just suggesting to someone else that any improvements that you think ooVoo could make should be sent to http://support.oovoo.com/. Customer support and product development need these ideas to keep attracting users. Hope this helps! My user name is kwolph, if you would like another friend!

Why have you named it ooVoo?

@Katie,
Indeed the video messaging is really nice feature.
@Rajesh,
Was that question to Katie?

@Rajesh
Picture the name as a picture message. The first two ‘oo’ and the last two ‘oo’ are sets of eyes with V in the middle. V is for video. So, two-way video communication–ooVoo. Make sense?

Oops! Video conferencing! It is new to me. I have heard of teleconferencing. I think I now need to look into the technical world and keep myself updated. Anyway, the idea is good.

@Katie,
That was great thinking. It does make sense.

Yes, I also think the support of multi-user conferencing is the most useful thing about this program.

Glad to have made the name more clear. I had no clue how to pronounce it at first. Here is one more helpful tidbit: http://www.myoovoday.com. That link will let curious individuals download the Mac version not available at ooVoo homepage.
