Which program might become the new Skype?
Skype is an incredibly popular voIp program where users can call and live video chat with each other through an internet or mobile data connection. It is certainly the dominant of voIp services, and has low chances of ever being replaced since it is a monopoly. If Skype were ever to be replaced, the runner-up of voIp programs, ooVoo, would be the number one competitor. ooVoo is already widely used, though not nearly as much as Skype. The big difference between ooVoo and Skype, is that on ooVoo you can use a various amount of Skype's premium features entirely free.
What is better ooVoo or Skype?
ooVoo and Skype are two very similar VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) programs. They both support group video, IM, and voice chats, as well as the ability to call phones with money. However, the two devices also have some slight differences.Short answer: ooVoo is preferable only if you're using group video chat. If you plan to video chat one-on-one or group chat without video, Skype is superior.Long answer:-Only one person in an ooVoo call needs to have actually downloaded the program, wheras all Skype users need it installed onto their devices.-ooVoo allows free group video chat with up to 12 people.-Skype allows group video chat with up to 10 people, but at least one of those people needs to have Skype Premium. Skype allows free video chat with 2 people.-Skype can voice chat (no video) with up to 25 people, whereas ooVoo only supports 12.-Both ooVoo and Skype support PC, Macs, and mobile devices like iPhones and Androids. Skype also supports Linux, which ooVoo does not.-Both Skype and ooVoo support Facebook chatting and calling.
