For those looking for a Skype or
Yahoo Messenger alternative, Camfrog Video Chat is an option to consider. While
we found it easy to use, we ran into a few difficulties trying to join some of
its chat rooms.
Camfrog's user interface is clean
and simple, although it reminds us a bit too much of Apple's iChat application.
Still, it isn't intimidating and has all the primary functions accessible so
you won't waste valuable minutes reading the Help files. Just like in Skype or
YM, you need to create a contact list first, but the application isn't limited
to messaging; it also provides a place to meet people through its long list of
video chat rooms. Unfortunately, Camfrog for Mac wasn't at its peak performance
during our testing. We wanted to join several video chat rooms, but we got
kicked out of some, as the application couldn't recognize our built-in iSight
camera.
When compared with the Windows
application, we found that Camfrog for Mac has certain limitations. For
instance, we couldn't retrieve a contact's profile details by hovering the
cursor over the video window. You can access the user's public information by
locating him or her using the Locate User feature, which seems a bit Skype-ish.
Camfrog is a good free
application for both personal and professional use (due to its videoconferencing
feature), providing what you'd expect from the name: easy video chat.
