For those of you who haven’t tried ooVoo yet, I highly recommend you do so! ooVoo is a video conferencing application like Skype, only much, much better! If you have friends, relatives or colleagues across the country or world you wish to talk to, you simply can’t do better than ooVoo.
I’ve run it on all of my Windows machines with no issue, and it works great. But today I had difficulty trying to install it on my MacBook Pro. However, thanks to Elliott Lee, I managed to solve the problem. So, I figured I’d pass along the solution as well.
I tried to install ooVoo on my iMac, but it would only create a folder called ooVoo.app with a red minus sign at the bottom right.
You can’t open the application “ooVoo.app†because it is not supported on this architecture.
The solution is to install ooVoo to your Desktop, and then drag the ooVoo icon to your Applications
folder.

My brother and I just switched to ooVoo, per your recommendation! I can’t wait to start using it - it looks GREAT! Now to explain to the rest of the crew, who finally adopted Skype, why we’re switching! Wish me luck!
Hey Thanks for the info. I have just downloaded oovoo and have invited by cousins. Although we all use skype, it really bugs us that we cannot chat simultaneously. Eager to test this out…
Cheers.
