User Reviews Parents say Kids say. Report this review. Adult Written by Julian W. February 17, Teen, 16 years old Written by Theviperman February 24, Jonathan I looked in. Kid, 11 years old November 19, What is it with the new update!!!!!! Continue reading. All video streamed at acceptable to high-quality levels. Fast performance: Our calls always connected within a few seconds, and Internet connection speed never dropped low enough to hinder our experience, so you should have confidence in using Wi-Fi or data connection.
We saw that the recent update eased the log-in process considerably, and text and all other forms of media were sent and received in real-time. Integrative tools: OoVoo offers a fully functioning video and text messenger, as well as detailed user profiles that host pre-made movies, making for a fun and engaging time when using this program. The social network integration also instantly connects you with friends after logging in. Minor technical errors: At times, we noticed that OoVoo would state that no Internet connection could be found despite us being able to communicate with others and stream video.
Sound quality underperformed on a few occasions although video quality was perfect. OoVoo does not hold back in giving you fun and functioning chat options and top-notch performance. We suggest this application consider adding chat rooms, like those seen in Camfrog Video Chat, to add more entertainment value. Anyone that wants an easy and high-quality video messenger should think about downloading OoVoo Video Call.
Save it for later with Pocket and read when you are ready. In recent months parents in the UK and Ireland have raised concerns over unwanted contact from unknown individuals through ooVoo. It is possible to encounter content on ooVoo that is unsuitable for children. There can be an expectation of reciprocation in these scenarios.
One of the features available on the app is the ability to easily record video chats without the other user knowing. The combination of sexual experimentation and the ability to record poses serious potential risks for young users. Many young users falsely believe that video chat is ephemeral; exists only for the moment it is actually happening and can never be seen again. It is a good idea to address this issue and explain to them that, like all digital content, video chat can easily be saved and shared.
Another more sinister aspect of all video chat tools is trolling and sextortion. This involves broadcasting video clips that appear to be live feed from a webcam. This is easy to do and allows the unscrupulous to pretend to be someone else, usually an attractive young girl, to lure young men into sexual encounters. The typical scenario results in unsuspecting users being confronted with a recording of their exchange and threatened that it will be shared widely unless money is paid.
There have been incidents reported where organised criminals will engage in this type of deception to extort money. And of course asking your daughter about it!
Depending on the type of phone you may want to look into parental controls or filters, please search this site for some suggestions and good luck! Hello, my wife just received an email notification of an oovoo friend invite to my daughter that is I did not even know of this site until this message came through which contained a profile picture of a nude grown man.
We will be deleting the app and monitoring her internet use, but can we report this person to the authorities or the app? Even if she were 13 this is wrong? Hi, i never signed up for ooVoo but apparently i have a friend and another friend request. How did this happen. Maybe it is just an invite to join? Great question — Chatroulette is similar to the chat site Omegle, so the same warnings would apply. If someone is recording an ooVoo video call do the other participants know?
Is there some sort of indicator, etc.? Maybe someone else reading this might now? If I discover the answer I will reply again. That is the correct assumption, but I have found not in Oovoo but in similar apps that even with settings like this, somehow my username was figured out and I received spam comments. I just wanted to say how great the article was, my daughter was asking if she could download Oovoo so I searched the Internet and I found this website.
I was a little concerned but after reading this it has put my mind at ease a little and given me some great pointers, which I showed my daughter and explained the reasons behind them. Thank you, I have now subscribed. Hiya, my 9 year old has had an Oovoo account set up by her father!
Most of her class seem to be on this and they have even done homework together on it. Whilst I am not a fan, I have kept an open mind in order to promote an honest and healthy discussion. Last night I watched a conversation which included somebody that is not known to my daughter, but to a mutual friend. She was offensive and abusive and I terminated the conversation, is there a way of blocking specific people in a conversation? He has tried to call my daughter but fortunately local schools have raised awareness so she did not accept the call.
Oovoo has now been deleted.
