The software can be freely used in one on one video conferences with the option to purchase the commercial edition of the software that raises the participants count to a maximum of eight. The minimum requirements for the video conferencing and collaboration software are a computer system running a Microsoft Windows operating system, a broadband connection, a webcam and microphone and an open 9940 UDP port. The only other prerequisite is the creation of a free account at the iVisit website. The login information need to be entered in the iVisit Presenter software.

The program will automatically display all available and supported audio and video devices during first run. To start a video conference users need to be selected from the address book. The first step after installation of the software is therefor to add users to the address book. The username that was registered at the iVisit website needs to be added to add the user to the software program.

The free video conferencing software ooVoo offers several elements that most, if not all, free softwares of that kind do not offer.

The first and most notable is the feature that up to six participants can use ooVoo simultaneously which is great if you want to video chat with your friends or need to bring people from different locations together to take part in a meeting. It runs pretty smooth even with six users and offers a good sound quality.

Another feature worth mentioning is that you can record messages with ooVoo and send them to other users even those who do not use ooVoo. Seveal other features that I use in Skype for instance are also supported in ooVoo. They include the ability to text chat with one or more users, send files to someone and add links to automatically use ooVoo to contact someone from a website.

Best of all it is really free. No premium version, no advertisement, no hidden messages, popups.
