ooVoo releases its newest version of high quality and face-to-face video chat service. ooVoo 2.0 continues to raise the standards for online video communication by introducing added free and premium priced features including: video chat rooms with no downloads necessary to use, improved friend search capabilities, and enhanced functionality to connect globally with family, friends and colleagues. ooVoo's popular video calls -- more than 1 million+ video calls are conducted monthly on its platform -- are as easy as a phone call, compatible with PC and MAC and work with a range of webcams.
Allowing people to create "real life" connections within their daily online experience, ooVoo makes it easier to connect on a human level and avoids the impersonal nature of electronic communications. An additional benefit is money and cost savings, people who want to connect with friends, family or colleagues without the expense of travel can now use high-quality video chat to see each other.
New ooVoo 2.0 Windows features include:
- Video Call Anyone -- ooVoo users can use the "Web Video Call" to have an ooVoo video call with their friends who haven't downloaded ooVoo yet. These friends can quickly and easily join an ooVoo video call via a web browser without having ooVoo installed on their computer.
- Video Chat Room -- It's easy for anyone to embed an ooVoo video chat room into their website or blog with a simple cut and paste of one line of HTML. It's as simple as embedding a YouTube video. ooVoo users can create and host personal video rooms on ooVoo's website (i.e.: book clubs, bridal party planning, political discussions, sports clubs, etc.). ooVoo users get one free room and users who pay for a Super subscription can use up to five rooms.
- Improved Audio Quality -- ooVoo's enhanced audio quality allows users to experience a video call with less sound delay and static.
Every day, ooVoo connects millions of family members, co-workers, friends and online communities through remarkably clear and highly superior video quality. Now, video calls are even more accessible with ooVoo's new "Web Video Call" and "Video Chat Room" features. The added functionality makes it possible to create customized video rooms and connect worldwide, with up to six participants. Each chat room can be built, tailored and recorded to suit a variety of needs that include book clubs, political discussion groups, company brainstorms, media rooms to conduct interviews, homework support groups, sports clubs, family "reunions" and even bridal parties. Tens of millions of video conversations after its launch in 2007, ooVoo has doubled its video resolution, enable Mac to PC video calling and continues to develop new ways for users to expand their ooVoo network and use technology to enhance human communication and connection, not replace it.
ooVoo 2.0 has been configured to work with more web camera hardware than its competitors. In particular, ooVoo 2.0 will automatically detect if your webcam and bandwidth will support the high resolution calls without the need to manually modify settings.
With the adoption of ooVoo in more than 200 countries worldwide, ooVoo 2.0 supports 15 languages: Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.
