VidSpeak

VidSpeak is a software program that lets you chat with several people in the same time, using voice and video.

The interface of the program is pretty straightforward and therefore, it will be easy to use for any person, no matter how inexperienced they might be when it comes to computers. On the right side of the main window you can see the chat room in which you are currently logged in to, and a list with all the other people that are also there. The middle of the main screen displays what your web camera is capturing, while the menu bar with all the available options is presented on the upper side.

All you have to do in order to set up communication is select the bandwidth that you are using and log in.

The program is also customizable in the sense that the video capture settings can be changed in a lot of different ways. For example, the resolution can be set from 176x144px to 320x240px or 640x480px, in accordance with the quality and FPS ratio.

From the “Configure Webcam” panel, you can select the device you want to use, and also change the level of brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, white balance, gamma and sharpness. Moreover, the application enables you to configure the zoom, focus, exposure, tile, pan and roll controls, as long as your camera supports these features.

To sum up, VidSpeak is a very helpful software application that enables you to create multipoint video conferences.
