When reviewing an article about how cell phone preferences are changing from Blackberry to iPhone and Android in Washington DC, I noted that there was an increasing demand for the use of Skype and Oovoo video conferencing apps. The article noted that Blackberry is great for text-based messaging, but many of us prefer audio and video. The article sparked my interest to compare Skype (which I have used for years) with Oovoo. A brief comparison of what the two apps have in common is noted below. Both:
Using Skype, you now can do desktop sharing (such as I use with http://join.me) with one person with the free version. Oovoo allows that feature only with their premium version.
Like Skype, Oovoo has the potential to enhance the teaching/learning experience when working online. There was a comment by a voice music teacher for a blog comparing the two apps, noting that her students preferred Oovoo. I will have to experiment with the stability of a 6-way video conferencing call. It certainly opens new opportunities for web conferencing.
- Have a free version
- Allow video conferencing
- Can be used with Macs, PCs, the iPad, and mobile phones

Skype or Oovoo video conferencing software are good for personal conference. But when it comes to professional conference business organizations can't use them. They have to go with professional providers like Polycom, Nefsis, PeopleLink or with others.

ReplyDeleteYeah, Skype isn't all that user-friendly to newbie's, but of the two, I'd still prefer Skype over ooVoo. Lately, I have discovered another very good alternative: RHUB`s web conferencing servers. It has Web meeting capabilities as well as remote support all in one device.
