Destinations
NEW YORK – JULY
20, 2009
– Today, ooVoo unveiled the latest upgrade of its popular multi-point, cross-platform
video communication solution, Version 2.2 and a new business plan, designed to appeal
to business users looking for video conferencing solutions that offer high quality
video with key collaboration features such as desktop sharing. Other new features
include pay as you go options, international calling, and text chat history.
Addressing the needs of rapidly-expanding remote workforces and economic pressures
to limit travel expenditures, ooVoo’s new plan for business brings affordable, real-time
communication solutions for video conferencing to the market, allowing multiple
people to meet on video at the same time, complemented by powerful business features
such as desktop sharing during video calls. Easy to download and set up, ooVoo only
requires a Web cam and broadband connection so customers can be video chatting in
minutes. ooVoo is building upon its strong consumer offering to deliver new and
existing business customers the highest video and audio quality at $39.95 a month.
ooVoo for business, which includes desktop sharing and offers discounts for multi-seat
purchases, is designed as an integrated video conferencing and collaboration solution
to help businesses increase productivity, cut costs and save time.
Users can experience ooVoo’s crystal clear video calls without the commitment of
purchasing a package in the free 2-way video plan. Users can now add on additional
video windows (up to 6) per call when the need arises. The convenient pay-per-use
billing is also currently available for phone minutes to the US, Canada, Germany,
Italy, UK and Israel.
“ooVoo continuously strives to become the most affordable and dependable high quality,
easy-to-use internet-based video communication experience, whether at home or work,”
said Philippe Schwartz, CEO of ooVoo. “With our new business plan we’ve made our
services even more appealing to those looking for an alternative to expensive, high-tech
video conferencing services.”
With desktop sharing, ooVoo business users can now provide their video conference
participants instant access to their presentations or documents while they continue
to converse face-to-face which all keeps business running smoothly. Like ooVoo for
consumers, business users can also share files, text chat, send video messages,
record conversations, experience high definition video quality and more. Unlike
systems tied to conference room set ups or high-tech equipment, business users --
whether in a remote hotel room, in an airport or working from a home office. ooVoo
goes anywhere to make sure work continues unhindered and quality face time with
important clients and partners never suffers. ooVoo promises no more stalled calls
and long silences as a participant fumbles to open up an email attachment.
To further enhance the ooVoo video conferencing experience the business plan eliminates
banner advertisements from all video conversations for plan purchasers and anyone
they invite to join a call. ooVoo’s business plan, at $39.95 a month, costs a fraction
of the cost of just one business trip and allows unlimited video conferences with
up to six locations at one time – and up to twelve locations when an additional
six are conferenced in with the phone feature. With the ability to add seats to
a plan for a nominal fee, everyone in the office can be set up with their own ooVoo
user name to connect face-to-face with co-workers, distributed work teams and clients.
ooVoo remains the most robust cross platform multi-point internet-based video communication
solution. With more price flexibility and pay-as-you-go options, ooVoo offers incredible
value at an affordable price to consumers and businesses. Its popular Web Call Link
to video connect friends that haven’t downloaded ooVoo and the ability to easily
embed video chat rooms into blogs or web sites, make ooVoo available to everyone,
anywhere in the world.
