Information about ooVoo regarding security or recommended video chat software.

Hi,

I would like to know if OOVOO is safe and secure for video/audio chatting? I did some research on SKYPE and found that the risks outweighed the benefits in terms of Identity Theft, etc. Can you let me know if OOVOO is more secure or recommend another product similar that is.

Thank you

Oovoo and Skye are both open to security risks. The way to minimize your risks would be to use an HTTPS encrypted connection for your videoconferencing. There are company's that offer this ability to insure that if your signal is intercepted, it is not in an unencrypted form.

This in no way is a 100% guarantee of security as nothing on the Internet ever can be, but if you are on a https connection, it is going to be more secure than a standard http connection.

As I am associated with a company offering such service, it is a violation of EE TOS for me to make company recommendations here. If you would like to try out some services, feel free to contact me through my profile on EE.

Good luck,

Anthony
