One of Google+’s most attractive features is the free group video
chat service called Google Hangouts. Soon Facebook users will be able to
enjoy a similar experience, although no thanks to the social networking
site itself.
Video chat service ooVoo Tuesday
introduced an upgrade to its service that bumps the number of
participants in free video conference calls from six to 12, and debuts a
Facebook application that allows for 12-way video conferencing in high
definition.
ooVoo has grown somewhat quietly, reaching 46 million users worldwide
as of April 2012. The Facebook application is in response to the
demands of users, the company says, who are looking for other ways
outside of their mobile devices (where the app got its start) to connect
to users.
A nice feature of ooVoo’s Facebook offering is that all users in the
chat do not need to be ooVoo members. If the person you’re calling isn’t
a member, the application gives the option to e-mail, post, or text a
“call link” to allow your friend to join in on the call.
