Comments

Tried ooVoo on my Mac (Macbook Pro). When I restarted my computer later in the day it had decided it was going to be a login item and many of the current login items were removed in my preferences. I removed it and had to redo my preferences. This is one I will avoid until this problem is solved. Gary

Player stalled at 8:25 several times I tried it... btw ooVoo has a great interface for conference calling. Jose Rodriguez; It's Elementary

What's important is to integrate the video and the screencasts. So with Yugma you accomplished the screencasts and here with ooVoo you have a video segment -- but where is the technology that unites the two. . . Also, the audio is considerably better on the podcast than here. I would love to use this technology for language learning. Currently we are using recorded Skype conversations between students with great success, because the quality of the audio is good. Trevor
