While various messenger clients add video messaging to the laundry list of available features, none of them do video chat as well as ICUII. Offering password protected conference rooms, for scheduled chats with friends, family, or co-workers, this pioneer of video messaging remains one of the best. Instructions for opening ports on home firewall devices make setup a breeze, unlike the convoluted configuration required by most of the messaging clients. Password protection limits the types of chatting aloud, which is probably smart in a computing environment shared with kids. A visual caller-id lets you decide who to accept chats with in advance. Pal authorization lets you choose who has access to you online. In addition to video chat, ICUII also provides convenient tools for sending video via e-mail, in addition to a nice selection of networked card games.
