Sending video mail (vMail) is much easier these days thanks to the following services. Many of them don’t even require any software downloads or installation as in the old days.
All you need is a webcam and a computer with Internet access and you are good to go. Here are some of the best vMail services:
MailEmotion.TV is a new service that requires no downloads or installations to send video emails.
VoxLite is another no install service that lets you either record from your webcam and send video message thru email or even upload an existing video file to email. There’s even a no sign-up way to use their service.
BedroomTV (Formerly SpringDoo) appears to be the market leader when it comes to web-based video/webcam recording that you can share on websites or emails.
They call their video mail feature SpringMail. They also have SpringMob for mobile access. SpringCast and SpringBlog for posting videos to websites and blogs.
No service comes close to the features that SpringDoo offers and all for free!
EyeJot has a free account that allows 60-second messages, 30 days of storage and webcam recording. There is a widget for your websites and blogs.
There is also something unique called EyeJot This which lets you send a video of yourself along with a link you want to share with someone.
GabMail Very simple service that makes it easy to record and send vmail.
HelloDeo is a free video/webcam recorder from Odeo, the same people who brought us the world famous Twitter ! Don’t expect anywhere near the same level of wow here though.
All of the above services are web-based video mail sites that do not require any installation. Here is one site that offers an excellent webcamm recorder client for free (for windows and Mac)!
SightSpeed offers a premium package and a free version.
OoVoo offers free video mail and the ability to group video chat with up to six people.
Summation:
If you have a webcam then you can send video emails instantly with any of these services. In many cases, you don’t even have to install anything. Here’s a list of all these video email services that will be updated with new services when they are active.
