Logitech Vid – the Free, Fast and Easy Way to Make a Video Call
Designed exclusively for video calling, Vid delivers a streamlined setup and a simple, intuitive interface. In fact, you can set up Vid in fewer than half the steps required by the major instant-messaging services.
Vid sets up automatically with your Logitech webcam. A few clicks and you’re ready to go. There are no screen names. And there’s no third-party software to download. When you’re ready to make a video call, Vid uses your friend or family member’s e-mail address to connect. Your friend simply accepts your e-mail invitation to participate in a video call on Vid, and you’re both connected and ready to chat.
Vid presents a simple, intuitive interface in which every element is designed to help you make a video call. You can make a call in just a few simple steps. Each one of your contacts is represented by a thumbnail picture. You simply click the picture of the person you want to contact, and Vid starts your video call.
Vid is compatible with PC and Mac computers, as well as stand-alone and embedded webcams. Vid is available now for download at www.logitech.com/Vid.
