There are also buttons to send a file, send a text chat message, terminate the call, take a snapshot or invite other contacts to join the video conversation.

When you are in a video call, the controls are once again nice and clear and simple. I spent quite a while searching their web page, FAQs and User Forums for information on this, but couldn't find anything. On my test systems it looks like 320x240 and certainly not more than 15 FPS, probably less - it is very prone to smearing and ghosting.

Next, of course, the worst things about ooVoo: But that is a big IF - it takes a LOT of bandwidth, and a LOT of processing power for every additional participant in a video call. If you've got the bandwidth and processing power to handle it, and you need or want this capability, this can be the "killer" reason to go with ooVoo. ![]() The six-way video conference capability is amazing. Buttons are large and colorful, and the graphics on them and pop-up tips for them make it very obvious what they are for. The appearance, "look and feel", "user interface", however you want to term it, is very pleasant, and also quite simple.
