Instead it uses propiritary technology that is exclusive to ooVoo. It's main focus is on the videoconfrencing part. As it can have up to 6 people in a real-time conversation. ooVoo can also allow people to contact themselves with screennames through voice, chat, and video.

ooVoo also allows you to record the video and audio conversations, allow you to leave a message to people that aren't there and also send files to people. ooVoo also has an outbounding dialing service which has much more quality then Skype and is cheaper then SkypeOut. People can also start a conversation also with up to 6 telephone numbers, which can make for some really good bridging between shows.
