ooVoo
For the last few years I have been using Skype to keep in touch with all of my family and friends back in the UK, this became a very important tool when Christopher was born. Video calling just makes the world a much smaller place.
However since the start of this year I have been having lots of problems with video calling with Skype back to the UK, it worked fine in the USA but every time I tried back to the UK they would not see my video. I then had to go and find the windows laptop to use MSN (Not good quality).
Now I have found ooVoo I have been tested ooVoo this week and it works just the same as Skype. Download the client on each PC and away you go. The good news is that I found the Video and Sound quality to be as good if not better than Skype. My parents were much happier they could just see Christopher with out me hunting down the other laptop.
I will still be using Skype for all my voice calling as that works great but for video calling I will be using ooVoo for the time being.
