VIZIO recently announced that the VIZIO 8″ Tablet with Wi-Fi now supports ooVoo, a video communication service that enables up to six callers to chat together for a unique social video chat experience on mobile devices.
With ooVoo, VIZIO Tablet owners can now enjoy party video chats anywhere there is a Wi-Fi connection. ooVoo is available across multiple hardware platforms, from mobile devices to PCs, as a free download from Android Market. In addition to free video and voice calls, ooVoo also supports calls through a web browser and can be upgraded to enable calls to landlines as well.
“Just as consumers are shifting away from linear TV programming towards more video on demand, video calls are also evolving from by-appointment usages to a live, spontaneous social experience,” said Matt McRae, VIZIO Chief Technology Officer. “Using an app like ooVoo on a larger screen like our Tablet further enhances communication and connectivity. Additionally with the growth of Wi-Fi hotspots, VIZIO Tablet users can now conveniently communicate with family and friends even when they’re away from home.”
