Festoon Combined With Skype Means VoIP Video Conferencing
By Michael Pollock in Software
Festoon (previously known as vSkype) is a free plug-in for Skype that allows you to see who your talking (skyping) with. It also works with Google Talk. I don’t know about you, but most of the time, I’d rather people NOT see what I look like when I’m working from home. Brrr … better get a robe on.
“Festoon adds video and sharing to Skype and Google Talk.
“Getting started is simple. Just connect a camera, download our free
Festoon plug-in, and see each other one-on-one or invite up to 200
buddies to a video call - even if they don’t have a camera. But wait,
there’s more! You can also share anything you see on your screen, even
your entire desktop! And Festoon’s immersive EyeCandy video effects
add fun to your video experience, including funhouse mirrors, motion
colors, and crazy cutouts. Whether you use Skype or Google Talk for
business or to connect with family and friends, now you can show a
presentation, work on a spreadsheet, share photos, or just have fun
online while seeing everyone in the call!
Check it out - see why face to face is better!”
