It also has a beautiful " You Don't Know Jack" juicy style animated interface. The video is better than the audio, but we had folks in 4 states (1 in Hawaii) so I'm not sure everyone had the best connection. I tested it with four as you can see above. I'm not sure of the relationship between ooVoo and the others, but I can tell you that ooVoo is like Skype PLUS multi-person chat. (Yes, I know about iChat, but not everyone has a Mac). If we actually do get it working using either Office Communicator, Live Messenger or Skype, we can only have one to one video. If we can actually get a video going, I have to explain to them how to get it going full screen. Sometimes I can convince someone to bring a laptop to a meeting but inevitably they haven't got the right software working. Nothing is worse (from a work perspective) than listening to six faint voices over a speakerphone get work done while you struggle to remain relevant. As a remote worker going to meetings sucks. ![]()
