Video Conferencing with OoVoo
Last week I had a chance to talk to Philippe Schwartz, the CEO of OoVoo.com at the DigtialLife 2008 conference held at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York city. OoVoo is determined to do for video conferencing what Skype has done for voice over internet protocol (VOIP). OoVoo makes it very easy for anyone with a

Another great option that you have discovered for us, Brian. Six can be limiting but it sounds like it can work for just in time remote training. Sounds like you like it!
Hey Brian -- very thorough review. I just wanted to follow up with you as I am here on behalf of ooVoo and would love to see if you have any new questions, issue, or experiences with ooVoo. Actually, I thought I would share access to ooVoo for the Mac to you so you can share it with your readers, if you think they'd be interested. Let me know if there is anything else you might like to do -- inteviews, etc?
I live in the UK and find ooVoo is far far better than Skype. Gives us a chance to see our Grand Daughters and recording the calls is simplicity itself.

A very satisfied user.
I tried Oovoo a few months ago. I started learning Esperanto earlier this year, and the Esperanto community online seems to have gone totally gaga over Oovoo. I, however, found it almost completely inaccessible with Window Eyes 6.0 and NVDA, and I know a blind user in Japan who found it unusable with Jaws. I uninstalled it a few days after installing it. Hopefully, like Skype, in a year or so it will become marginally accessible. I have been using Skype since the summer of 2004, and the accessibility has only gotten better, except for the musical chairs assignment of shortcut keys each time you start it. On Oovoo I was able to add friends, and make calls to single users, but answering calls or disconnecting was out of the question. I only added one friend, and noone to my knowledge tried to add me, so I don't know if it would've been possible to accept incoming requests.
