ooVoo offers free, high-quality video chat and instant messaging for PC, Mac, iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. With ooVoo, you can talk face-to-face with your friends; chat live wherever you are; and see up to 12 video windows with your friends at one time…For FREE. And it comes with a lot of cool features like video chat recording, and sending video messages. If your friends are not on ooVoo, you can connect with them via Facebook, Twitter or email. It’s that simple! Just send your personal web link, and bring your social network to life! Or, video-call with all your friends, no matter where they are. Why should I use it?
An important part of our face-to-face communications has to do with body language, and without it, you are really missing out. As is the old saying, “Seeing is believing”.
Can a friend video chat with me from a browser?
Sure! Why not! Here’s what to do: If you are using ooVoo on a PC, just double-click on ‘Web Call’ in the ooVoo contact list (or use the ‘Send web video call link’ option from a Mac). You can send your link, using an Instant Messenger, Facebook or via email. When your friend clicks on the link, you will receive a notification to answer the call.
What do I need to use ooVoo?
To video chat with your friends on a PC or Mac, all you need is a webcam, microphone, and speakers. For your friends to see and hear you on video chat, a broadband internet connection is required for a fast and easy way to make a video call with ooVoo, directly from your browser. Now you can video chat via the web or Facebook; no download needed (you may want to download anyway, to get all the awesome features ooVoo offers).
Is ooVoo available for my iPhone, Android device, PC and Mac?
Certainly! You can use ooVoo seamlessly across platforms, whether you have a PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad-supported Android smartphone or tablet. The PC and Mac versions are available from the Download page, and our mobile apps are available on Google Play and the App Store.
Can I use ooVoo for my business?
Yes. ooVoo is a great business tool. Research shows that video increases audience attention, and builds speaker credibility while improving collaboration and decision-making in a business environment. Video makes information easier to understand, reduces meeting fatigue, and can reduce the cost of travel. Use it to video-conference with remote offices and for Board meetings, and to make a powerful impact with clients. To get the most out of ooVoo for your business, consider purchasing an ooVoo Plan, which offers screen- sharing, and blocks advertisements.
I was asked for my email. What do you do with it?
One’s email is always kept private, so do not sell, rent or disclose your email address to other companies; only ooVoo will communicate with you. Make sure you enter a correct email because:
a. If you forget your password, it’s the only way ooVoo can send it to you.
b. Your friends that know your email address can use it to search for you.
c. You can choose to receive email notifications when you receive new video messages.

Yes. ooVoo wants all our users to feel safe, and has added an option which allows one to report abuse in the PC application by right-clicking on the user during a video call.
