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.
Yeah, OOVOO is peachy. EXCEPT the fact the blasted thing streams banner ads full of malware, exploits, tracking cookis, and adult content with no way to turn them off. My virus and adware scanners go nuts when I use oovoo. It store this garbage in the temporary internet files folder and it needs 2 be cleaned about a dozen times a day, if you’re a heavy oovoo user. Give this loser a miss until it’s creators grow enough brains to monitor advert content for nasties.
I have oovoo installed both way, normaly and putted on my desk but no way, ovo crashes all time, i am on a macbook whire 2.4ghz 4gb 667mhz ram
