What Happened to ooVoo?

If you were at school or college around 2010, you may remember ooVoo: a free video calling app, launched in 2007, that let a group of friends share one video call years before most apps could. It was hugely popular with teenagers and students, and it closed in 2017, as video calling moved into the messaging apps people already used.

Is This the Same ooVoo?

No. The ooVoo you are reading now is a new service that opened in August 2026, run by Eastwood Media PTY LTD in Cape Town, South Africa. It uses the old name, but it has nothing to do with the company that made the app: none of its software, accounts, contacts or call history are here, and an old ooVoo login will not work.

What It Is Now

Today's ooVoo is a one-on-one random video chat for adults. You allow your camera, press start and talk to a stranger, and Next moves you on to someone else. It runs in your browser on computers and phones, so there is nothing to install, and you can chat without an account. The chat is shared with the other video chat sites we run and is paid for by our partners' ads.

Is There an ooVoo App to Download?

No. We do not make an app, and the old ooVoo app is no longer available. A download offered elsewhere under the ooVoo name is not from us, so treat it with care.
