5 best services for video chat

Nowadays, almost every device be it a computer, laptop, tablet or phone, equipped with a webcam. There are many services that are ready to help see the smile family, friends, even when you're separated by thousands of kilometers. Today, I have selected five of the best programs that reflect all the convenience of video chat. So there you go!

FaceTime

In my opinion, is the best software for video chat today. The main advantage of FaceTime is the speed, simplicity and support for all devices from Apple. Also in iOS 6 features the long-awaited video chat support for cellular networks. Wherever there were iPhone owners, they will always be able to contact users iPad or Mac, the even when there is no Wi-Fi. All contacts from your address book are automatically added to the list of FaceTime contacts, and therefore there is no need to add them manually. The program is functional, but it is not overloaded with unnecessary buttons, which makes it comfortable and fast.

Skype

Skype - perhaps the most popular instant messenger of today, with millions of users. You can make calls over Wi-Fi, 3G and even EDGE directly from your device. The application is cross-platform, so you can call and where anyone, regardless of operating system. Among the many functions as possible to allocate free calls between Skype users, video calls to Facebook users. That's only for calls to regular phones will have to pay.

ooVoo

ooVoo is a great alternative to Skype and distinguished by the fact that as close as possible to his or her abilities, and in some ways it surpasses. The main advantage of this service is the quality of communications and video settings so much more than in to Skype. It is possible to send voice and video messages, as well as to communicate simultaneously with 12 people. There are both free and paid version. Unfortunately, the free version lacks a number of features, as well as have to put up with banner advertising, which occupies a significant area of ​​any windows.

Google+ Hangouts

Stay in touch with friends and family people using the service Google+ Hangouts. The service works through the Google+ app for iOS and allows you to communicate simultaneously with nine people. You will also be able to show what is happening on your computer screen, providing shared access to any application window. Service is integrated with Google Calendar, so you will not miss not one Hangout. Unfortunately, the program for the iPad really is not adapted, and the image quality it leaves much to be desired.

AV by AOL

A project that deserves attention, because the authorship of the famous AIM belongs to the company AOL. Service is incredibly simple, but functional. Just go to the site and send the link to the right people. At the same time you can chat with three people, and invite friends to the service through FaceBook. There is nothing to download or install - all you need is support for flash and a webcam.
