VZOchat is an increasingly popular video conferencing and chat application. It’s a very powerful application as it allows two users to connect to up to 120 participants in the video conference. The video quality of the video does not change even though you increase the number of participants in the video conference. However, only up to two users could see the entire participants as the rest would be “members only” and will only see the administrators.

The unique feature of VZOchat is in its ability to effectively communicate even in dial up connections. The maximum Internet speed in dial-up connection is only 56kbs but VZOchat streams video at the speed of 30kbs which could be easily handled by a dial-up connection. But since the Internet connection is slow, video quality might not be optimized or audio communication is disabled (chat is still possible).

The interface is very easy to understand. The main window will show users or participants in the video conference. The video could be minimized or maximized through the integrated webcam control. Standard add-ons such as timers, microphone volume as well as speaker volume are also added. The application can also record the video conference but it will require permission from other users for security purposes.

Before the application is enjoyed, users are required to sign-up in the application. The username can be shared to anyone online or could be blocked to prevent spamming.

Because of its ability to work with dial-up connection, it’s a great alternative to current popular VOIP and IM applications.
