Info updated on:

Exchange messages, create group video chats and talk face-to-face with up to 12 people. Leave video messages and record your conversations and upload them to YouTube. Share large files, make voice calls, watch clips or videos right from your chat, and so on.

ooVoo is a rapidly growing service for making Internet audio and video calls. You can call your friends and family members in over 50 countries around the world, participate in 3-way video conferencing to discuss the important questions, exchange files and instant messages in this new alternative messenger.

Nearly 40 million of Internet users have heard of or used Skype. The software allows to make cheap calls to landline and cellular phones. You can sign up for unlimited plans or you can buy credits that expire in case of inactivity of 90 days. Up until recently, Skype was practically the only solution, but now there is a better alternative - ooVoo. You can do anything with it that Skype does - see who is online/offline, exchange instant messages and files, audio chat, and put up video conferencing with up to 5 more people. The plans are comparable with or even cheaper than those of Skype and I did not read anywhere that the credits expire - so no need to worry to make that phone call at least once in 3 months so you won't lose your credit.

If you do not want to install the client, you can always use its web version. All you will need to do is to send the link to your web-conference session to your friends. Many people will be required to download a Java plugin to use it. more

A very functional messenger, supporting 3-way video calls. Simple in design and rich in functional.
