ooVoo’s New Mac Version
Introduces Video Call Recording and Telephony to its High Quality Video Communication
Service
NEW YORK—October 15, 2008 - ooVoo, an innovator in the way people communicate with
real-time video, today announced the availability of a new version of its high quality
video chat software for Mac, ooVoo 1.5 for Mac, that allows multiparty video calls
between Windows PC and Mac computers. ooVoo 1.5 for Mac contains news features that
include video call recording, calls to landline and mobile phones amongst others
that enhance the communication experience.
Video call recording allows users to capture their video chats with other ooVoo
users and share the file with friends via email, ooVoo file transfer, or by uploading
to any of the social sharing sites that incorporate video including YouTube, Myspace
and Facebook. The length of a recorded conversation is limited only by the storage
capacity available on the hard drive of the user’s computer.
ooVoo Mac 1.5 users are also able to make calls to landline or mobile phones within
U.S. and Canada, a great feature for calls where one participant is unable to be
near a computer with a broadband connection. In addition, ooVoo users are able to
host 12 person calls – six on video (ooVoo users on Mac or PC) and six by phone
for audio only participation.
“We remain focused on connecting ooVoo’s users to their friends and family and to
listening to their feedback and requests for features that help make their conversations
even more meaningful and fun,” said Philippe Schwartz, CEO of ooVoo. “We have introduced
this new Mac version less than 4 months after our first Mac release because we’re
committed to developing our Mac platform and see great value in encouraging video
conversations between PC and Mac users.”
ooVoo users who download ooVoo 1.5 for Mac will initially receive fifteen minutes
of free outbound calls from ooVoo to any landline or mobile phone in the U.S. and
Canada from anywhere in the world. In addition, Mac users will enjoy free six way
video chats and video conversation recording until the end of 2008.
Additional features of ooVoo 1.5 include:
ooVoo for Mac and Windows PC can be downloaded from
