ooVoo's HD Video Conferencing Also Available for Mac Users

Thursday July 9, 2009
Skype has veen available for Mac users for a long time now. It has recently reworked it video quality for higher definition pictures at 25 frames per second. However, it still offers 1-to-1 video calls only, which is finally not really conferencing. ooVoo is one alternative, and one of the most prominent players in the video conferencing industry. 1-to-1 video calls are free with ooVoo, but users can make calls to up to 6 persons for $18 a month, and to 3 persons for $8. ooVoo has its HD version for Mac, and is therefore in direct competition with Mac's in-house iCall. But ooVoo is better entertained and goes round problems more smoothly, although it is a little heavy on resources. They are now working on a Linux version.
