ooVoo for Mac

Re: MAC ver. 2.1 just released!

Hi,

Thanks "fortra" -- for ooVoo this is an old thread as ver. 2.2 is available.

Dan, to answer your question about CPU usage, I want to point out that with MACs, they measure CPU usage based on an individual CPU, so if you have a Quad Core, you can divide this by 4, so 50% is really a 12.5% load on the computer. Anyway, the video should be fine even if you have one CPU with a 50% load.

Please tell me where it says the plans are only available for Windows (maybe we have a mistake somewhere). In the past this was true but currently all of the monthly plans and pay-per-use credit options are available for MAC users. You only need one 6-Way plan to connect to 5 other participants but you will need to invite the third, forth, fifth and sixth users unless one of these users has a paid plan or received the premium features in an initial trial period.

I hope this information is helpful and thanks for using ooVoo,
ooVoo Marv

Hi Marv, I'm using the MAC version and trying it with 5 friends, and it works well. A few of of friends have reported ooVoo can take large amounts (50%) of their CPU, as an aside. I just went to sign up for a monthly license so I can use it for multi-user conferences after the 30 day multi-user trial but: 1. The plans say that only Windows plans are available 2. I can't tell if I just need one 6 seat plan to then connect my 5 other friends (who would not need a plan), or if we all need a seat/plan. Thanks, Dan

Since the release of ooVoo 2.1.1.71 (previously 2.1.1.40) these bugs no longer exist (webpage not displayed)

We just released a new MAC version on the Download page (2.1.1.71) which now supports Safari 4. It has resolved the issues with pop-ups when using Safari 4.

To all the Safari 4 users, thank you for your patience and I hope all our MAC users will enjoy using this new ooVoo version.

Thank you for using ooVoo,
Marvin

Thank you for your reply Marvin So what version will there enjoy all the languages? And this will be done quickly?

@Vista13, I think oovoo marvin is saying they didn't have enough time to add other langauges in the mac version. So please be patient it will be added in due course in future release with updates.

Hi Vista13,

Thank you for your post.

I am sorry to hear about the problems you are experiencing. I only know about the problem with web video calls when using Safari 4 and will ask QA to look into this. We are working on browser compatibility issues and hopefully they will be solved quickly.

A lot of effort was made to make the leap from ver. 1.7 to 2.1 and to bridge the gap between the Windows and MAC versions. Due to time considerations we were not able to add languages for MAC ver. 2.1.

Thank you for using ooVoo,
Marvin

I just see that the problem I posted above is in fact the browser installed on my Mac, in fact, since I installed Safari 4, I have no advertisement, I have to a black rectangle. Not surprisingly, ooVoo 2.1.1.41 can not access a homepage because the browser is not compatible, if this problem could be remedied, it would be good!

And also, I noticed that the Windows version has many languages, and that the Mac version has only one single, English ... when does the French version of ooVoo for Mac released? And if possible, with as many languages as the Windows version? Thank you,

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your post and it's good to hear that in general you are happy with the new version.

We are working on supporting more browsers for web video calls and this should be available in the near future.

For the Windows version we support IE 6-8, Firefox 3, Safari for Windows, Opera and other browsers should also work.

Currently for the MAC version we support Safari (except for Safari 4).

Thanks,
Marvin

Hi Marvin,

I had been using the MAC beta while eagerly awaiting this new release. So far so, it seems great, although I have yet to put it through its paces. I especially like the ability to set video resolution, frame rate....

One question I have is about the web video call. I've created a web video call button, which is a cool little feature. However, web video does not seem to work with Mac Safari 4.0 or Mac Firefox 3.0.11. and I get a message that says "We’re sorry, participating in a video call over the internet
is currently available in Safari only. * Not including Safari 4 beta."

Any input about this, and when web video will work with these browsers?

And do you have a list of browsers that do and do not work for both Mac and PC?

BTW: Apple announced that more than 11 million copies of Safari 4 were downloaded in the first three days of its release, including more than six million downloads of Safari for Windows.

I am considering offering small classes in my area of work and the web video call feature would be ideal.

Thnx, Nick

It's nice to see the Mac & PC versions of ooVoo on par with each other now. I have been using the new Mac version quite a bit and have found it to be very stable. Great to have all the Windows features now appearing on the Mac. Everything just works.

Has anyone else tried the new version? If so, I was wondering what you think about it.

Thanks,

This version is much more stable than the previous one, for against, I regret a bug when you click "Buy" (the phone) to buy a plan ooVoo, a blank window appears and nothing comes out.
