Videoconferencing can make you feel like you're in a badly dubbed movie. SightSpeed reduces latency so you don't see jerky images with amateurish lip synching. Your lips and the words they shape will match--no Milli Vanilli syndrome for you.

This version introduces video messages (the video equivalent of voice mail) and video mail (which you can send to as many recipients as you like). The new premium feature, multiparty calling, gives you a video call with up to three other people.

SightSpeed's software is free. Receiving video from the video messenger is also free, as is unlimited VoIP calling. To send more than 15 minutes of video per day or to host multiparty calls, you must subscribe to the monthly service. SightSpeed offers three levels of paid service as well as a free plan.
