We've been using skype, facebook chat, yahoo messenger and other social chat rooms for years now, as years pass by these programs updates and upgrades, if i remember, before we use to chat with our friends and other random people with just a chat box without even knowing their profiles, but now almost all of our our social chat box upgraded and now has a user friendly interface, with great features like users can now upload pictures and put some of their info's that can now be viewed by other chatters to make conversations look real. At this time many people are not worried about their phone bills anymore as their are social network sevices that offers free calling and video calling as long as you got computer with internet or even smartphones connected to internet, all you have to do is download the software for free, install it and start filling up your profile and start calling anyone, anywhere in the world. With these services keeping in touch with families, friends and colleagues is now never a problem, as you can access it anytime and almost anywhere.

Just recently I found this new Free HD quality video call and chat software called ooVoo, or it may not be new to many especially for people who lives in the US as it started their. It's like skype but with much greater features like face to face conversation, skype has this interface but with ooVoo you'll see a wider screen, making you look like talking in a real person. This system can also handle six video calls and chat at once, you can see all 5 of your friends in the screen including yourself all at the same time, making group conversations more like a real meeting. There are more great features ooVoo that I don't have a chance to mention but, i will be updating this blog as soon as  I got time, i just mentioned things that i like about this software. If you can't wait for my updates visit their site here this site and click any ooVoo links and banners to direct you to ooVoo website and see it for your self.
 
Things you need to know to optimize your video calling experience.

Bandwidth requirements, your downstream or upstream should be at least a minimun of 128kbs and 384 kbps for High resolutions. Check your bandwidth here  http://www.speedtest.net or you can download soft wares that monitors and even optimize your bandwidth. 

Your Camera, microphone and headset or speaker should be working fine to get most out of ooVoo. To check these devices go to file, settings and them configure or test your equipments or devices, This device checking features pop outs after installing ooVoo in your computer everytime your computer starts.

Many people don't know or just ignore this but most typical cause of poor video quality is lack of light in the room. Because cameras are less sensitive to ligth than human eye it is important to tune and turn on more lights in your room.
