Latest Mac Version from ooVoo Introduces
Desktop Sharing, Pay As You Go Options, International Calling and Snow Leopard Compatibility
New York City - September 27th, 2009 -
Today, ooVoo unveiled the latest version of its award-winning, cross-platform video
chat service for Mac users, which includes desktop sharing, a powerful business
tool that ooVoo customers have requested for their video conferencing experience.
ooVoo version 2.2 for Mac is designed to give business owners and users high quality,
portable video conferencing at a fraction of the price of room-based telepresence
systems. ooVoo 2.2 is the most robust video conferencing solution, with unique features
that make it easy to use, affordable and a flexible addition to businesses’ existing
communication toolset.
Business owners and operators know the high cost of travel today – in both time
and money. Allowing people to continue to meet face-to-face and on a more regular
basis, ooVoo 2.2 for Mac allows businesses of all sizes to bring an affordable,
real-time communication video conferencing solution into the workplace without expensive
hardware or the need for technical support.
“We have an active and growing Mac customer base, and we’re committed to continuing
to develop our Mac platform for businesses and consumers,” said ooVoo CEO Philippe
Schwartz. “The features in version 2.2 for Mac make ooVoo easier to use and give
people a great alternative to expensive, often complex, video conferencing services.”
With rapidly-expanding remote workforces and continuing economic pressures that
limit travel expenditures, ooVoo’s new Mac solution comes with cost conscious business
plans beginning at $39.95 per month per person with discounts available depending
on the number of users.
ooVoo’s new 2.2 version for Mac features desktop sharing, allowing business users
to display their presentations or documents to their video conference participants
while maintaining face-to-face contact.
With ooVoo’s enhanced payment options, users can add additional video windows or
phone minutes any time they want to by paying with ooVoo Credits. Phone minutes
can be added for calls to the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, the UK and
Israel. Additional phone countries will be announced soon.
Business users can connect from anywhere with an internet connection: remote hotel
rooms, airports or home offices, while sharing files, text chatting, sending video
messages, recording conversations, experiencing high definition video quality and
more. The business plan for Mac eliminates banner advertisements from video conversations
for plan purchasers and anyone they invite to join on a call, further enhancing
the video conferencing experience.
