ooVoo Offers Free Video Chat and Video Conferencing

Download.com presents ooVoo, an iChat-like video conferencing and chat tool for Windows, which features handy, potent tools, great for small work groups for which conference calls and screen-sharing applications are a necessity. It allows you to tape video chats with other users. As the location of the recorded video and audio files is the hard drive, you are only limited in terms of space to its capacity. The service can be considered as a noteworthy alternative to other VoIP and conferencing software.

As a participant or host you are given a phone number to call. When other users of the service call this conference line they are plugged directly into the audio, that's a part of the video chat, and as with the video recordings, this audio is also archived. Additionally, you can use a companion for ooVoo's video player if interested in either screen sharing or file sharing. Other features include fun facial overlay tool that lets you play with different digital masks you can put on users faces or to backgrounds.

A last note - ooVoo service is not free.
